In the Pro classes, for round 1, I think #1 runs #16, #2 runs #15, #3 runs #14, and so on.

But I've never bothered to see how they set the Stock & SS ladders, at div & National events. So, I too am interested in seeing it explained here.
Bobby Fazio has some software to assist you with how to get advantaged placement on a ladder. See the link...

Also several tracks (for example Sacramento) has a resources tab on their website where you can print out all the conceivable ladders. Think some of the top racers play the ladder?...you betcha.
