35. A Team’s last counted lap will be the last lap the Team is able to complete during the time frame of the endurance event. (i.e. last possible time to record in a 4-hour would be 3:59:59, in a 6-hour - 5:59:59 in a 24-hour- 23:59:59). When the checkered flag is displayed at start-finish the event is complete and no times are to be recorded.
So for a 2hr 1:59:59.....If you have a savy scorekeeper, your last lap MAYBE the fastest of the day....

If you race till the clock hits the designated time and go back a lap you create additional risk and complexity. By way of example, two bikes racing hard cross the line in a heated battle and the clock clicks over between the two bikes. The first is credited for the lap while the second is not, despite racing full out for a lap not credited. The flip side is a bike just about to get lapped clicks over and does get to finish the lap and be scored the same although almost a lap behind. Same rule benefits the opposing participant pending track placement. Racing is to the checkered flag while laps or time determine when the flag falls. If a change is to be made, I would suggest going back to the first post of this thread and apply the mileage divided by 10, plus designated points per finishing position. As we run 4 events a tie is still possible. At that point, cumulative time differential between the two tied teams from all four rounds would determine the winner. If that is still a tie, go buy a lottery ticket.
