On average less than 6 riders have scored points in every round in SX (5.7)
A little over 8 riders scored points in all but one round (8.1)
In 2017 11 riders have scored points in every round thus far.
I am betting that will go down to 7 for 2017.

Attrition is crazier than i thought. Good point.

He's saying that for any given year, only a certain number (5.7 average) have scored at least one point in every round of that season. Do you need an abacus?

I was wrong in original post. At the end of Minneapolis it was 12 who scored in each round. Dropped Millsaps in Atlanta so down to 11 at half way point...
And yes TannerMxer the point is attrition.
So the next logical conclusion to someone who isn't racing for the championship would perhaps be advice:
Just score points in each round and you will finish in the top 10. i.e. don't push to get 12 vs 11th.

I haven't done the historical math completely on this yet but if you look at 2016 as an example the top 5 riders scored points in each round. Of the remaining top 10 Brayton and Weimer scored in each round.
Seeley Musquin and Canard were the other 3 in the top 10 who didn't score in each round.
Alessi finished 12th scoring in each round.

I heard that some guys had a bonus in their contract to make it to every race, qualify or not.

I have a hard time believing this.
