Point standings posted on ME Harness.com are unofficial standings. Official standing are complied by the Maine State Harness Racing Commission.

We base our points on results posted to the U.S.T.A. If an appeal of the official results is submitted, point standings are not altered until the M.S.H.R.C. makes a ruling. In some instances, the U.S.T.A. results were not complete. In those cases, we used standings in the yearbooks.

During the season, points are listed by point totals in ascending order. If there is a tie, purse earning will split the tie.
