Just wondering if anyone here ever won gold in OMP?

This thread isn't about OMP hacking, cheating or fairness. That has been well documented. It about making gold in the OMP format that is now here. With 1st being 500 gold & 2nd being 400 gold, it's the largest money making area in the game. (3rd place ties with group A WTTT payout at 300 gold {3}).

Getting 1000 points isn't all that hard. But I find it very hard to go much further. I just realized that you only need about 1300 points to get into the gold. But getting from 1000 to 1300 is very hard. I'll enter a race and it's full of people ranging from 400 to 650 points. If I win I only get 2 points, sometimes 0. If I place 2nd or lower I can lose a LOT of points!! However if I enter and then quit, I get a DNF and a huge point loss.

I know the points awarded are based on the spread between players. I don't care to dissect the algorithm, I assume someone already has. If you know it, please post it. What I know is, at a certain point you can't get ahead by just racing the standard level players. You have to get the big boys, who have around the same to come out and play somehow. HOW?? I thought the game was supposed to automatically do it, but it rarely happens for me.

Now... how many posts until someone goes off about cheating?? ;-)
