I know BBR has been discussed over and over on here and I searched but can't find the answer to my specific question. I have never joined BBR but am considering doing it this year. My question is this... Say you earn enough points throughout the year to place in the top 10 of a D in your region. Are the top 10 prizes awarded based off of points as of 12/31 or are points also given during the BBR finals in April to accumulate towards those region awards so therefore the top 10 prize winners are determined by points 1/1-12/31 PLUS points at finals? Could somoene who is sitting in the top 10 possibly not go to the finals and get "bumped" from their spot? I doubt I will ever be able to run enough shows (and have enough luck) to accumulate points to be in a top 10 situation, but I am just curious just in case. My thought process is if i somehow happen to end up in the top 10 then i'll worry about finals at that point, but i'm curious how the final top 10 are determined.

Points are given from Jan 1- Dec 31. Points accumulated at the BBR finals do count for the year you run in it.

I went to OKC in 2017 and the points I got there counted for that year. 

Oh that makes perfect sense!! way more sense than what i was thinking lol. so let's say someone goes to the finals this year in april 2022, those points would count toward their 2022 cumulative total, right?

Yep, that is correct. 

I'm not a BBR gal, but many around here go hard at it. If you end the year on December 31 in, say, 3rd place in 2D in your area or circuit, BBR has a prize waiting for you when you get to the finals. What you do in the finals has nothing to do with whatever you accomplished during the year.
