I like rewarding the winner of the most competitive class. Use the differences of scores of the top 3 boats in each class. Or use the difference in times of the top 3 in each class. Winner of the tightest class is overall winner.
This will usually eliminate rewarding a strong boat in a weak class. Dennis C.
