Series LogoWe are expanding the scope of the 2012 Ultramax Sports Championship Series to compliment and enhance the launch of Team Ultramax.

The Complete Team Ultramax program information will be announced in the first quarter of 2012!
Stay Tuned, this is going to be exciting news!

We expanded the scoring and updated just about everything in the Series. The Ultramax Championship Series launched in 2004 and starts over with each new season. The Series is a competition comprised of Ultramax owned races, and a select few of Missouri's best events. Participants are awarded points at each Ultramax Sports Series race based on their individual finish time versus the overall amateur's finish time. Events in the Series have a multiplier based on the specific event and bonus points. See the scoring details and rules below. You MUST complete a minimum of FOUR events to be be listed and considered in the Championship Series standings.
The Ultramax Championship Jackets have become the most popular award we have ever offered. The Series now revolves around those jackets. Will you be wearing one in 2012?

2012 Ultramax Sports Championship Series Scoring

Participants are awarded multiplier points and points based on their finish time versus the overall amateur's finish time. First, the times are converted to minutes (i.e. a time of 2 hrs 15 minutes and 30 seconds would be converted to 135.50 minutes), then the overall winner's time is divided by each participant's time, and multiplied by 100. This formula will determine each participant's base score.

NOTE: YOU MUST BE AN ANNUAL USAT MEMBER PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST SERIES RACE TO BE SCORED IN THE SERIES.

Scoring Example:

  • Racer A won the race overall with a time of 2:10:45 (130.75 min)
  • Racer B finished in 6th place with a time of 2:25:30 (145.50 min)
  • Racer B's score: 130.75 / 145.50 X 100 = .89862 base score ... or 89.62 points
  • 89.62 X (the specific event multiplier) = Final Series Score

Races in the Series will have a multiplier based on the specific event and specific bonus points
These multipliers and bonus points are used to determine each racer's final score.
