Majors will score 100 for first, 1 for last, with points
for other places distributed equally between.
Minors will score 80 for first, 1 for last, with points
for other places distributed equally between.
- Scores for results older than 12 months (up to 24 months) are halved.
- To calculate the score the best results over the 24 month period are taken.

The best possible score 100, lowest 0.5/6 = 0.085.
