If you take a quad as a whole, you have 3 separate landing options by doubling, tripling, or the whole quad. If you throw a table in the mix, you still have the 3 seperate landing options. You can land on top of the table, down side it, or jump the full length (ie. quad).
My take of it, but this is an incredibly stupid topic so that will be my only post in it.

I want all you goons jumping tabletops at your local tracks to either refer to them as doubles or a 100ft triple.
Or better yet,
" I blitzed the Shit out of the whoop pad, and then cleared the hell out of that 100ft triple table top"
Someone ban Ralph from making this Shit up... I want to write a formal complaint letter to field on this subject.....
What do track builders have to say??
Ok here we go.
You have to count any take off or any landing that is not a traditional triangle shaped single as a single itself. So a table is a double because it consists of two triangle singles with dirt in the middle. How many times have you filled in a double on your own track in order to allow a lesser rider to learn to jump the distance? So it is now a table by definition but a double by execution.
Still there? Good stay close. So a single a table and a single now become a quad. 3 take offs and 3 landings but with the dirt in the middle of the double, you have removed one take off and one landing. So if you ran a bobcat across the filled in area of a table you now have a double buy definition. But was always a double by execution.
THE END
So I quintupled the "Whoop pad"
I'm out of this conversation.. The lack of common jump individuality is disturbing.
Are big tabletops on mx tracks called "doubles" ? NO.
Then two singles and a small tabletop on the track is still a TRIPLE.
I seriously do not see how anyone could call that a quad.
I have jumped some 100+ foot tabletops...they didn't call that a quad, triple, or double....
It's basic math. No wonder America is so stupid, the majority of us can't count properly.

winner!
I cannot believe something so simple and elementary has brought so much discussion. I feel somehow stupider for even having to try and educate some stupid hillbillies that think 3 = 4.
Go back to elementary school. Learn math.
And short of MC and Emig having some vast joke on the rest of the people, and Ralph probably believing it...then they are stupid as well.
It's simple fucking arithmetic people. Don't complicate it with made up rules on what you "consider" a landing or a lip. If they land on it or take off from it, it counts as "1". The wall jump is labeled correctly as a spine. You cover vertical space, not horizontal.
Take this single-table-single section...you jump off the first and cover an airspace (1)...you land on the tabletop and cover some ground distance (2)...you leave the ground again and cover another airspace before landing on the third mound of dirt (3).
Notice the numbers? It's a TRIPLE.
When a guy short lands a tabletop at a track, then jumps off it onto the flat...by your dumbass reasoning, that would be a double? *lol*
The definition relies on the DIRT MOUNDS, aka "jumps". QUAD means FOUR DIRT MOUNDS...not THREE (triple).
Did anyone see FOUR FUCKING DIRT MOUNDS? No? Then it's a triple.
I am currently obtaining a degree in Physiology and Physics. Obviously, with Physics I have explored the deep realms of math and numbers, and I have learned that numbers and life in itself is not how it first appears. In fact, the number system is just something that we have created, in which some mathematicians believe don't even exist. If a mathematician were to look at this jump, they would probably see it falls neither into the category of three or four, but closer to four (if you must, lets assign this a number of 3.75). 3.75 is of course not an integer, but if you want to round it up for names sake, it becomes 4.
My take on this is that this jump can be called whatever you want it be called. In theory, a tabletop is not a single.... you can jump it (you can't jump a single), and hence I would consider a tabletop to be more akin to a double than a single. As a result, I would prefer to call the entire jump a quad, such as experienced riders (Emig, MC, Stewart, AC,.... and every single professional) would choose to call it a quad.
If you want some more math lessons let me know!
P.S. Try being nice to people. You may like it!
