Withdrawals: when the pilot withdraws from the championship, his participation will be terminated, and his return will no longer be possible.
In cases where the event will use a score different from the default, it will be published on the event page.
Team Scoring System (2 ways)
In this first case, we may have several drivers from the same team enrolled, but the best placement of a team driver will be taken into account, with the other scores being discarded.
Example:
Pilot1 – 20 points
Pilot2 – 15 points
Pilot3 – 10 points
therefore, the team's score will be 20 points.
In this second case, the team must register a maximum of two pilots and in case there is the possibility of registering additional pilots, they must be registered in the team with a differential in the name of the Example team (alfateck/Alfateck1/Alfateck2).
The sum of the points of the two registered pilots will be the basis for the Team's score.
Awards System
The awards will be described in the competition formats
We will always be focused on delivering Trophies & Medals and differentiated prizes,
valid only for events with 15 or more participants.
Only the costs of sending Awards that occur within the national territory will be borne.

​ ranking system
How the Ranking score is assigned to riders who race in the Evolution Racing League.
As a premise for us, both the Qualification and the race and the results obtained are important for attributing points to the driver.
The score is assigned according to the results obtained in each stage in which the driver participated, taking into account the starting position, the finishing position, the number of participating drivers, and whether the fastest lap of the race is the number of steps without DNF.
The maximum score a driver can reach in a race will be 115 points
This will only be possible if the pilot has:
IEFQ = 100
IEFR = 100
VR = 10
Bonus per Event completed = 1
What do these Numbers mean?
Very simple....
This pilot made the pole position
Won the Race and Made the Fastest Lap
that is:
The pilot will receive 100 points for pole + 100 points for victory, making the simple average of this, the pilot will have 100 points that will be added to the 10 that he won with the fastest lap and five of the participation in the stage, achieving a total of 112 points.
All drivers will have their points computed based on their start and finish positions, if they win the fastest lap of the race they will receive the 10 point bonus.
The scores obtained in the stages will be added together and their average will be the updated score of the Ranking.
It's very important to participate and start in a good position and of course finish the race in the best possible position.
If there is a need for changes to the regulation by the management, all involved will be informed
License System
The rider categories will be divided into 4 types
Platinum
To remain in this portfolio, the pilot will need to meet the requirements contained in the ERL champ rule and obtain an average IE above 72
in this wallet the pilot will have 15% discount on any champ.
Gold
To remain in this portfolio, the pilot will need to meet the requirements contained in the ERL champ rule and obtain an average IE between 48 and 71
in this wallet the pilot will have 5% discount on any champ.
Silver
To remain in this portfolio, the pilot will need to meet the requirements contained in the ERL champ rule and obtain an average IE between 25 and 47
Bronze
here will find the rookie riders enrolled in the ERL league and the other pilots not classified for other portfolios. To remain in this portfolio, the pilot will need to comply with the requirements contained in the ERL champ rule, especially those relating to behavior and presence in the stages. Medium IE below and 25
Calculation formula
In one stage of the championship, the pilot will score points based on the following information:
Calculation of the Efficiency Index (IE)
Qty of Participating Pilots / Arrival Position
Fast Lap +10 bonus
Pole Position +10 bonus
Champion +30 bonus
Vice Champion +20 bonus
3rd Place +10 Bonus
Dropping the test - IE=0
Points in the wallet for penalties. (discounted from IE)
Calculation of the Efficiency Index (IE)
(100% / qty of pilots) X (qty of pilots - finish position +1)
ex: 15 drivers in dispute and you came in 4th
(100/115)X(15-4+1)
6.66X12
your IE=80 (value without bonuses)
