How are years determined? Is it calender years (Jan- Dec). Or is it determined one year back from the present date?
Some of the nhra people here in Div 2 I spoke to and explained I went to 2 points meets in the end of 2008, And if I get to Bradenton that would be a 3, Gainesville a 4, and so on.
Is that the way it works or will this year count only when it exceeds last year?
I'm praying to get a shot at going to the Gators. But I doubt a 2 will do it.
