Wrc2 2016

[Simmi]

Same rule as in the full WRC:

For drawing up the final classification of a Championship, the rule for deciding between drivers and codrivers
who have scored exactly the same points total shall be:
10.1.1 According to the greater number of first places, then second places, then third places, etc.,
achieved in the final classifications on their respective Championship, counting only those rallies which
have served to make up their points total;
10.1.2 According to the greater number of highest places achieved in the final classifications on their
respective Championship, counting only those rallies in which each of the drivers and co-drivers concerned
have taken part, one 11th place being worth more than any number of 12th places, one 12th place being
worth more than any number of 13rd places, and so on.
10.1.3 In the event of a further tie, the FIA itself will decide the winner and decide between any other
tying drivers and co-drivers, on the basis of whatever other considerations it thinks appropriate.

So reading that I take it to mean that AL14 is correct - and that it would take into account their 'face-off' scores effectively. I think?

For sure the FIA are correct to change the rules next year and make sure everyone faces off at least 3 times.
