They have it but they don't utilize it appropriately....

From what I can tell it appears to be because many promoters don't report results - making even a good system almost worthless - and there are still a ton of mistakes in the results reported. (wheels on willy's in my results shows a date like 12/31/2031 or some such crap).

It really shouldn't be hard to do...when event is permitted an official should set the points by placing based on the qualifications of the even (whether it meets the point criteria and how deep it should go, etc...). Results reported....points added.

...I heard computers are pretty good at math. - they're not just for porn and email anymore.
