Team points distribution (weighting of points awarded to team members)
In all team type races when creating an event it should be possible to define a list of "Factors to be multiplied by the points awarded at each location for each rider-position on a team".
Example #1:
You want the position of rider 4 on a team to be the one that counts in a team race.
Points awarded at each location = 250, 240, 230, 220, 210, 200, 190, ... etc.
Max Team Size = 8
Counting Riders = 6
List of weighting factors to be defined = "0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0"
(This could also be = "0, 0, 0, 1, 0" as all counting riders get the last defined value if not all are defined)
Example #2:
In a humans only race where teams are not filled to max with bots, you want the first 3 riders to get 100 % of the points they earn. Number 4 to get 50 % of the points the rider's position corresponds to, and number 5 to get a corresponding 30 % and number 6 to get 10 %
In this way more riders on the team get points for the team but the significance decreases giving the team with only 3 (but good) riders still a chance.
Points awarded at each location = 250, 240, 230, 220, 210, 200, 190, ... etc.
Max Team Size = 10
Counting Riders = 6
List of weighting factors to be defined = "1, 1, 1, 0.5, 0.3, 0.1"
UserInput could simply be like the "Points Awarded At Each Location" input field. Default could be "1".
