They should just do the original way of mx points... lowest points win and 2nd moto breaks a tie, then give points accordingly:motomike137 wrote: There should be a small bonus for being on the overall podium... say 1st 3pts... 2nd 2pts... 3rd 1pt
would add some extra incentive in the second moto and help make sense of the overall/ per moto possible discrepancies to the casual observer don't ya thinK?

Did AMA Nats ever score the season on low score? I remember when they changed from awarding based on overall to per moto but I thought it was still a system where you got the highest number of points for a win.motomike137 wrote: There should be a small bonus for being on the overall podium... say 1st 3pts... 2nd 2pts... 3rd 1pt

7th 30 all the way to 40th, with 2 points being the smallest amount you can make.

actually jay, I have bounced some things over to Davey to show him a solution to three issues and one of them was the fact that a guy in 21st place, in the most competitive series (arguably) in the world, got absolutely nada in return. (the two others where purse to get the guys in 40th some bucks, and the main one was practice)500guy wrote: I think they should give points back to 40th too even if everyone from 20th - 30th got 2 points and 30th-40th got 1 point.
not sure your system would separate the leaders even more then they are now or make it closer.
I would be willing to let the AMA pay me to do a study on it.

If you go back to 40th, you should widen the "Winners Gap" a bit to reward those that actually RUN UP-Front accordingly.motomike137 wrote: There should be a small bonus for being on the overall podium... say 1st 3pts... 2nd 2pts... 3rd 1pt

I hear ya Manny, but if you really look at the numbers, end of the series numbers...20th-40th, do they really do all 12 Nationals ?? NO the top 10-20 are going to have premium amounts of points, do we have an example of the overall points from last year 450, I want to see how many guy were really "in it" for the points (championship)...Lot's of local dudes to the area, or say west coast guys racing west coast nationals and east coast guys to east coast nationals, not a huge motive to go hit another race with no points incentives.motomike137 wrote: There should be a small bonus for being on the overall podium... say 1st 3pts... 2nd 2pts... 3rd 1pt

Prolly a 8 point gap to second, 3 point gap back to 5th, 2 point gap to tenth...etc.
This would more fairly reward the Top 10...which is someting we all seem to pay attention to & it would surely put a good premium on a win.
As for the Tie Breaking system: It works already.
