What is a Divisional?

UPDATE!
Big power-up for the Neosho MiDiv Series event: a Sunday Solo Shootout.
The regular MiDiv Solo series event will be held in its entirety on Saturday, with sessions on unique morning and afternoon courses combined for your normal series result, followed by the Saturday evening awards banquet.
Stay for Sunday, and join us for the first ever MiDiv Solo Shootout. For a small buy-in, you'll throw down in a college-basketball-style PAX elimination bracket, and top finishers get cash prizes. You'll be seeded based on your overall indexed ranking from Saturday. Everyone will start with a reconnaissance run, then match up against challengers until there's only one autocrosser standing. Don't worry if you get knocked out, though. We'll have fun runs at the end for anyone who gets bumped. Registered entrants will get details in their inbox soon.
Call it Match Tour Lite, a fun and easy way to experience a flavor of the SCCA's Match Tour Solo, the newest style of autocross competition. Must be a Saturday MiDiv competitor to get into the Sunday Solo Shootout.
