Divisional Championship is determined by your best 5 out of your,,first,,8 Divisionals attended in a row,but they only allow 2 out of Divisionals to count. Anyone running for either Championship will have to travel. This year with Division 1 having only 6 events,,you'll need to travel a little to get the other 2 if you need more points. If you look at all the previous Champions,,most had to travel especially the World Champion.

You are forgetting that you have to travel to 8 divional races to accumulate enough grade points to enter the national events in most cases. Unless you don’t plan to run any national events the following year. So 8 divisional and 5 nationals would be 13.
