When they were first introduced in 2018(?) I enjoyed them, however over the years I've enjoyed them less and less to the point where I'm over them and wished they weren't a thing anymore. I think it messes with the championship too much. If they're stuck on have a different schedule/program and SMX style would be better with two motos 15 min each for both 250 and 450. I'd rather just have the traditional schedule though. What are your guys thoughts?

Every SX event should be a standard two moto format, with points paying each race. Why we still show qualifying during the “race” still makes zero sense.
Triple Crowns are great a few times a year. I'd like to see them add Superpole to them also. I like the variation.
No
17 rounds of triple crowns

Two is fine…. Maybe 3.
I like the variety. But the single main format is far more difficult as there is zero room for error.
All SX should be 'Double Crowns' ...... THAT IS ALL !
I don’t mind a few triple crown races a year, it’s something different, I think most of the time they don’t work out as exciting as intended though. Quite often we see triple crowns where the winner is virtually decided (barring disaster) before the gate even drops for the 3rd main, which isn’t particularly exciting in my opinion.
There's already enough down time during the broadcast as it is.
(I watch the heats live, then hit the DVR and watch the rest the next morning, fast forwarding to the gate drops)
The time needed for total track rebuilds after the first motos would be unacceptable, to the networks and fans.
Why not? It’s better than watching everyone roll around the 3 rd moto of the night on a triple crown.
I just like the one main event, winner take all format. How many of the great moments of SX would mean less and change the result if there was two motos?
How many of the hohum mains would be a better night with a second moto battle?
Why do you want to watch 3 hours of gate pick jousting and then 35 minutes of actual points paying racing?
The heats are fun to watch because with guys split up you get to see battles that otherwise might not happen in a main even where the field is more stacked.
I guess but it just doesn’t feel remotely important… it’s for gate pick. The lack of anything on the line makes it endless waiting and commercials and bs waiting for the mains to finally kick off and they’re over before you know it after all that waiting….
So fun to watch 3 hours of exciting racing that all matters as opposed to 2 hours of qualifying then 40 minutes of the real deal.
I like both but I get excited for the full broadcast to be top dudes going for points
This right here is the answer. Love triple crowns!
Don't mind the triple crown...but full points need to be paid out for each heat..
Give me 12 SX and 12 Nationals. But hey thats just me.

I’m here for 3-4 a year I also think they should award one championship point to top qualifier and heat wins.
How many times over the last few years have we seen someone win the triple crown without winning any of the races? It seems so hollow and anticlimactic. Sometimes it works but I feel more often than not they aren't as exciting as the regular 20 plus 1.
With mud bogs thrown in for good measure!
I like them.
I’d like to see their qualifying time determine their gate pick for the first moto, flip the results for their second moto gate pick, and combined score of the first two for the third and final moto.
I say keep them. I like the format changed up a bit every now and then.
I agree with you, 24 Nationals and 0 sx.
I like the few we get. Something a little different is kinda neat.
I mostly agree, but the carnage of the LCQs is pretty entertaining.
What's up Jeff? How you been?
I have no probs with the Tripple Crown races. I like the diversity.
Personally I would like to see the qualifying races paid a coupla points. Heck give the LCQ's a point!
What the absolute hell is wrong with you, you sit down anyone in the world on a couch and ask if they would rather watch three main events, or a bunch of qualifiers and only one. Everyone, triple crowns.
Having a few of them is perfect imho. I think there should be some other diversity in the series as well. If I had my way Daytona would be 25 or 30 minutes.
