Tiebreaker Policy
If a tie exists at the conclusion of the Pingel NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Series season, it shall be resolved as follows. If, after step one is followed a tie still remains, additional steps are to be followed until tie is broken.
1. Rider with most “head-to-head” victories during season wins tie.
2. Rider with most rounds won during season wins tie.
3. Rider with quickest average of their best qualifying elapsed-times during the season wins tie. In a situation where one rider ran less events than the other rider, the average is to be based on the lesser number of events (for example, rider A runs 6 events and rider B runs 7 events, rider A’s average is to be based off his/her best 6 events). Should a tie still exist, the average qualifying speeds will be used.
