barrow boy Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, so they say, "we won't give them the points they scored, we'll give them 14 and 11 points". So what if one of them riders has score 15? He loses points! So give them 17 and 16? They get more than they would have done for making the final! If you come 8th, why do you suddenly deserve a much more bigger score than the guy in 9th? If you were only 1 point better, you were only one point better, making the semi does not suddenly make you a muc better rider and/or him a failure! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In my Grand Prix 'More To The Point' thread I suggested that each losing 3rd placed semi finalists be awarded 13 points and the losing 4th placed semi finalists be awarded 11 points and quite rightly HenryW pointed out that it was possible for riders having qualified with more than 11 & 13 points not to reach the final. I readily conceeded that in such cases these riders should retain their qualifying score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Why don't they just ad on the points that they score in the semi and the final? Nicki 11 + 6 = 17 ............. 25 Jason 12 + 4 = 16 ........... 20 Tomasz 11 + 4 = 15 ........ 18 Trick 13 + 2 = 15 ............ 16 Leigh 10 + 1 = 11 Zagar 9 + 1 = 10 Lindback 9 + 0 = 9 Nicholls 9 + 0 = 9 Works out ok ....... this time anyhow and doesn't let the winners get too far ahead.

Rico Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I spoke to J-D, who was at the GP in Krsko and apparently the chap with the water truck only managed quarter of a full lap before Mr Olsen stopped him in his tracks, so the track staff didn't appear to get their own way after all. So I suppose we should thank Ole for overseeing the preparation of a good racing surface Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
