No more than 50% of points could come from Perm/DIY events.
So if you did 80 points in perms/DIYs but only 70 points in calendar events then you would only have 140 points in the points championship rather than 150.
At some point there was a theory that someone may cheat their way to the points championship by riding perms/DIYs but cheating on them by using trains/cars/etc. The idea was that it would be much harder to cheat if they had to do a reasonable number of calendar rides (where they'd be seen by other riders).
