Both. They will be seperated into their own class per event, and have their times listed, but not scored for season points unless they choose to move to a true class.

Novice year end awards will not be based on Novice class participation.

The purpose of the novice class is to give people a place to learn for a couple events and see if they like it and make a somewhat informed decision to move into a real class.

It is not intended to be a season long class as other regions have.
If that's the case, do we really need a "Novice" class, isn't is essentially the same as RNP, plus an option to move 4 events to a points class?

I'd almost rather see Novice as another PAX class like Street Tire... but to be eligible you have to actually be a novice. I would base the year end Novice award on the results from that class, but leave "Rookie of the Year" up to the board as it currently is.
