It was an every race counts system last year - and there were flaws. The old World Final system was an every race counts system - and there were flaws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I don’t think C and D finals are necessary, I would have a B final for the riders who don’t make it through the semi finals however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every heat would be meaningful. 24 heats instead of 23. it would also give all 16 riders the chance to plug their sponsors while they 'ponder' over gate pick for their final. It's ideal for for this scoring system. Probably much better for TV highlights as well. I quite like the idea of 5 finals. D Final:13th to 16th, winner progresses to the C Final: with 10th to 12th, winner to B Final with 7th to 9th, winner to A Final with 4th to 6th, winner to the Grand Final with 1st to 3rd. All gate picks after heat 20, no track grading in between finals. Effectively you could finish on zero points after 20 heats and still win the GP (however impossible that might be). Offset against the fact that you qualify direct to the Grand Final if you finish in the top three. No safety net of finishing 2nd in a semi final. After heat 20 you have to win it to still be in it. I suppose it's the conundrum all sports wrestle with. Balancing a fair test which rewards the best competitor with the need for entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’d prefer semi’s and a B and A final personally. If you’re outside the top eight then your night is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiles Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I would like to see all points count and then either 2 semi finals and then a A & B final or two A & B Finals, the points carried forward from the 20 heats then extra points of 1 to 8 for positions in the finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) No need to reinvent the wheel. Just return to the (immediate) pre 2020 method. Perfect. Edited October 16, 2020 by Grand Central 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine by me but with the small tweak of standing the rider who took the most points out of the meeting on the top step of the podium instead of the one that won the last race, then it would make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Go back to the old(2019) system of all point scoring but a little tweak to the semi's & final. 4-3-2-1 in the semi's rewarding all riders that reached them providing they finish & 8-6-4-2 for the final with similar rule in place.
