To see the exact breakdown of points line by line, visit your league's "settings" and then tap "scoring."

Drivers earn Fantasy Points in six ways:

#1. Race finish position

The higher a driver finishes the race, the more fantasy points they will be awarded.

#2. Stage Finish position

The higher a driver finishes at each stage, the more fantasy points they will be awarded. Only the top 10 drivers will earn stage points.

#3. Overtake points (net positions gained)

Overtake points are awarded based on the net positions gained between a driver’s qualifying position (NOT their grid start position) and their race finish position.

#4. Improvement points

Drivers are awarded improvement points for finishing above their 8-race rolling average finish position. The logic behind Improvement points is that a driver of the best-performing vehicle finishing towards the top is not as much of an accomplishment as a lower-performing vehicle finishing towards the top. Therefore, Improvement points typically benefit mid-field and lower-tier drivers for above-average performances.

NASCAR Example:

If a driver's current Owner's Championship rank is 14th, they may be awarded improvement points for any race finishing position of 13th or better.

The best way to view a driver's current rolling average finish position is to tap on their name to open their driver profile to the "stats" screen to see their current 8-race average at the top right.

If you're curious about how improvement points are calculated for drivers at the start of the season, please refer to this article.

#5. Laps Led

Drivers will earn points based on what % of laps they lead during a race.

#6. Completion Points

Let's face it; sometimes, just getting to the checkered flag can be an accomplishment. Completion points are awarded at 4 different stages throughout the race: when 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% of the total planned laps are completed.

Official Scoring

All scoring is based on the official race classifications and rankings.

Minimum Points

To ensure the penalty for forgetting to set a lineup is limited, GridRival will assign a minimum # of points per event of 200 for each player that received less than 200 at an event during the season.

Scoring Adjustments

All points are based on official sporting results. GridRival is not liable for changes made to the results by any official racing leagues or sanctioning body after lockdown has been lifted in our league games.

In the event of a change in results prior to the lifting of lockdown, GridRival will update the scoring with new results when possible.

If changes are issues after lockdown, GridRival will document the changes, as well as their impact, in the scoring changelog.
