participation or points, what matter more to you in a championship?

[StephenB]

Which do you prefer and why?

Currently the championships in the Northeast you must complete a certain number of events to be eligible. But at the same time you also get drops so that it isn't thought of as a participation championship. For example: "NERRC CLASS CHAMPIONSHIPS*are decided by total points accumulated in a class per the current scoring rules. *Drivers must entered at least 50% of the races to be eligible"

What are your thoughts and opinions?

I will be honest I can see it both ways. I want to go to the banquet with the people I raced with all year not just the person that showed up a couple times and did real well but at the same time that person probably deserves it... not sure how I feel about it.
