Bonus?

[Rob M.]

First, I'm not trying to be a pain or start something, so go easy.

Alright, I would like someone to please shed some light on the "Bonus" points available in the opps judging. Is it really a bonus?

The judging sheet for opps states that there are 750 points available and then if you have a fire extinguisher, battery cut-off switch, and the NCRS decal you would get a "bonus" of 10 points.

My question is, on the judging summary page, opps states that there are 760 points available "with bonus points" and when you add all the areas up, it equals 4510 possible. That total includes the 10 bonus points. If they are "bonus" points, shouldn't it be 4500 possible?

Why call them bonus points if they are actually being judged?

Rob - Stick with the "olde" math; it's less complicated than the :new" math. Pete

Rob,

Dennis Clark addressed this very issue many years ago in the National Judging Chairman's message in the Corvette Restorer Magazine. The end result is that there are 4510 points available but when figuring the percentages, if you divide the total points (including the bonus points) by 45, the ten points are a bonus. Hope this helps.

That would make sense. Thanks

See Rob, I told you it was the "new" math. Pete
