But seriously, what happens if this Coronavirus hysteria doesn't get under control and they have to cancel more races/end the season? Would the current points leader be the champion?
They better consider this option because it is gonna take a looooong time before it gets under control.
Also, in italy it has just started.. in some countries they are still laughing at us.. wait for it to come to their countries and then we will see who will laugh.
I guess that the promotocross outdoors championship will be suspended too.
I’m screening this post because that’s how it’s gonna be, people right now don’t just realize what is going on.
Stay safe at home my dudes💪🏻

Yes. Deservedly; he is leading, most wins, force majeure, all that.

We have only ~60 cases of Covid19 here in Finland but it's good where taking serious measures to prevent the virus from spreading

However many races were run, that is the number. They cannot go by "what if" or "could have." They can only go by the number of races run so far. If we do not see another Supercross this season, then Eli is the Champ.

However this works out, I feel sorry for the guy who becomes champion. This season will always have a stigma attached to it due to the cancelled race, one way or another.

Just give us one more race Feld. That’s all #3 and #94 need to settle this title.

No spectators, limited crews, whatever you have to do, please?

I disagree. A shortened season (six races short if called after Indy) deserves an asterisk no mater who wins.
It’s a perfect example of when the asterisk should be used. Decisions have been made by teams and riders with the long game in mind.

2020 SX title*

*season shortened due covid19 pandemic

Things out of our control, asterisk not warranted.

I, honestly, don't have an answer for you. I haven't thought about it enough.

Bottom line is that this whole thing is out of our control and it really sucks. If Feld chooses to end the season early, whoever is in the points lead is the champion. No ands, ifs or buts about it. That's how it works after 17 rounds, that's how it should be after even if they cut it after 10 rounds.

This is the only asterisk attached to any championship this year.


Actually, the way things are going, we might be the only race series that hands out any titles this year.

If there is an asterisk on Tomac's title (if indeed that is what happens), the question is: So what? It's not like an asterisk due to steroid use or something else that he did wrong. If it's simply to inform people who look up the information in the future that the season was shortened, then that is simply stating a fact and not necessarily saying something bad about the champion.

Could the outdoor series should be fine if there is less risk of virus transmission outdoors where people aren't packed into seating areas with close contact?

Gotta laugh at all the asterisk talk for whoever might win this title. Last year the MXGP of Hong Kong got cancelled and I don’t remember any talk of an asterisk for that title? It’s not the same situation, I’m aware of that but they are still similar in the sense of not completing all scheduled rounds.

I will laugh myself silly if the season gets canceled and Tomac wins the championship. His SX championship would have an asterisk beside it (one would assume) like the ones everyone tried to give dungey and Anderson when they beat Eli.. haha

Its done.

No insurer will touch it.

Gatherings of this scale are going to be considered radioactive for the time being.

The big steps have yet to be taken.

Congrats to Eli!

Guess Roczen gets one last chance this weekend, I didn't take into account that Feld already had possession of the stadium and a track built. The loss this weekend running a race with no butts in the seats is probably not much different than cancelling completely. I can't see them being able to run another race with spectators until all clear has been given, that will be months. Who would have guessed that Roczens best friend would be Webb, Tomac and Roczen are both teammate less.

Serious question: how would you decide the winner of a curtailed series that has run past the half way point?

No one else but Eli or Ken can win it if this weekend goes under.

If the riders have any integrity not one of them should accept a championship this way.

And yes, if someone does back into a championship this way it's a farce and it has an asterisks.

You either run all the races for the championship or it's an incomplete season with no one winning.

It's bad enough everyone is fucking freaking out but to make a travesty out of the SX season is salt on the wound.

This sucks. I bought $10k+ of stock Tuesday and that was dumb.

I want to go buy a CRF450L but interest rates are going to get insane. So may have to pay cash but maybe I can get a great deal.

Tomas has struggled so long to get an SX championship and if he wins this way that’ll suck for him.

How can the insurance companies control that? The insurance contracts already exist so the terms are in place. Just curious.

It's been a very long time since I've posted here, but I just need to say that this is possibly the dumbest post I've ever read on this site. Nice work.

I'm not in the insurance business but changes in circumstances never stopped my insurance company from changing the rules mid policy. I've had home policies cancelled twice this last year after signing and prepaying them. One complete and one wraparound after California Fair Plan pretty much became the only option. If I'm the underwriter for a set of events and halfway through the situation at the venue in which those events happens changes I would think there is some recourse.

Just hold it, you'll get back above water and make a tidy return. Maybe in a month, maybe in a year but it will be back. You didn't buy airlines did you?

I guess give it to the guy leading at the time the series is cancelled... I made comment bc of how quickly the ET3 fan base throws out who should have asterisks by their championship. When there is a real shot the 2020 champ will have an asterisk... whoever it may be.

The ncaa has said they’d have the tournament with no spectators. I bet the whole thing gets called off. Conference tourney games are being postponed.
