That was my point; every system flawed, but people don't think like that., Do you think it was fair that a rider could win every GP, and not even qualify for the following year? No, it was never going to happen, but... Again, this year is the same for everyone, and the riders knew what it was like before they started the season.Like EVERY World Championship season previously...

I never said anything it about being better or worse. You were the one who said it was. You complained that a rider COULD be World Champion this year without winning a race; I said you COULD have done that with the old World Final system. It doesn't matter that a winner of a GP HASN'T finished with 10 points on the night, and I was using that to illustrate that it was possible with the World Final system. Referring to the anomalies of the 2020 GP system, I haven't been through all the possibilities. However, with the previous system, it WAS possible for someone to win EVERY GP (yes, all ten) and not finish in the Top 8. That is FACT. To correct you, 12 was not the lowest possible winning score - a rider could qualify with 6 points (plus the semi and final). Again, I have stated that I preferred the old system, but do YOU think it's fair that it was possible for a rider to do what I said? Just because something is possible, doesn't mean it will, and just because something HASN'T happened doesn't mean it won't. No system is perfect, despite what we may prefer, or what we may think.

Have you ever thought of reading - and comprehending - what was written, instead making nonsensical claims? I never said this was fairer, and I never said this was better, so don't put words in my mouth. I have stated on here (on multiple occasions) that I much preferred the system used in previous years. As I said though, it was possible to win every GP, and not finish in the Top 8. I will be back in a little while with all the figures for you. In the meantime, you said that a rider could win the World Championship this year without winning a race the whole season. We all know that it was POSSIBLE to do that with the old world final system. You didn't have to win a race to get through the qualifying rounds. In the final itself, there were 120 points at stake, which gives an average per rider of 7.5 points. Therefore, anything ABOVE the average could win. Keeping it simple, a rider could finish with 10 points (five second places), which means that the average for the other 15 is 7.33. So, not only could the winner not need to win a race, he could win with points to spare. So, why is this year so bad when it was possible before? As I said, I will be back in a little while.

It was no different with the old World Final system. Did you complain about that? It was theoretically possibly for a rider to not only become World Champion, but to win every GP, and not even make Top 8 and qualify for this year. Did you complain about that? And before you question me, yes, I have previously PROVEN that on here... However, just because something is possible, we all know it will never happen.

I've just lost interest in people who keep claiming they are losing interest...
