Note: the original posting of these tiebreaker notes incorrectly indicated that the tiebreaker rule was to use lowest total race points, assuming the competitors finished a comparable set of events. This was incorrect - the tiebreaker that has always been used for naming the regional champions is best finish record. The outcome is the same in this case by either tiebreaker rule. Apologies for any confusion that was caused by this web posting being inconsistent with actual tiebreaker rule. [correction posted 22-Mar-2005]
