Competitions
Comps are split into two sections, a heats and a knockout section. Each section is scored separately and worth 50 points max. Therefore the maximum score overall is 100 points.
Each pilot's four best competition scores are added together to form the league score. If comps are abandoned, then best 4 from 5 count, or best 3 from 4 or best 2 from 3.
