SP in leaderboard - Matteo Venuti - 03-23-2019
Hi,
What SP stands for in championship's standings? I mean the section between Incident Average and Races.
Thanks

Sum of Positions

ok I'll ask. What does that actually mean? I tried a quick web search with no luck. A sum of positions (the total sum of all your finishing places) doesn't really make much sense to me, a lower score in this scenario would mean either you're very good, or very new, a high score would mean you've done a lot of races and are good, or maybe very few races and you're bad.
Surely this can't be what it actually means as it's a useless data point.

Alone it doesn't mean much but SP divided by the number of races gives you the average finish position. It might actually be the most relevant data in the standing stats.

It's only useful as a tiebreaker. And one could argue that since it counts all the races you are in for a series (and not just your best races, like the champ points do) that it promotes NOT racing (as often). Not that ANY of these data points actually "means" anything anyway.
