In 2008 the SCCA set in motion a new policy, a championship awarded to the automobile that has the greatest number of points for the Concours Season.

Each automobile that is entered to be judged by the SCCA and only these automobiles, will receive 5 points. For 1st in class 5 points, for 2nd in class 3 points, and for 3rd in class 2 points. The automobile that is chosen Best of Show will receive 10 additional points.

The automobile that has the greatest number of points at the end of the show season will be declared Concours Champion for that season. This automobile will be exempt the following year only from the Concours Championship Award but may enter in all shows and be eligible to be a class winner, thus not having the same automobile winning the championship year after year. After a one year absence the automobile will be again eligible for championship competition.

After all the points have been tabulated by the SCCA for the Concours season the award will be presented at the October Niello Concours at Serrano, the last event of the year on the SCCA calendar.
