I think this is OK. The only thing that's out of whack with the others sports is that the difference between the winner and the runner up / third should be greater - you should be rewarded by a higher increment if you win.

The event itself isn't though is it... this points scoring system is ok if you have 1 race of around 80 laps like the other disciplines of motor sport, this has been discussed to death though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Speedway isn't road racign or motox, we dont have ONE race, we have 23 ! And in every heat the winner gets the most points anyway, 3-2-1-0, just like it should be, so what's wrong with that? With the new point system top riders like Zmarzlik simply don't have to fight for every point during the heats anymore. It shows in the racing, which is not as intensive as used to be when every single point counted. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Must admit I'm starting to get a bit bored with it. The riders definitely don't go for it in every race now coupled with the fact they all seem to be best of mates with each other. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
