rollingtach Added a reply to Time to change SX points structure?

I think if any change is made it has to be fairly simple and changing the points structure can make it too complex for the casual fan to understand. Running half the races with no concern about points, will increase your chances to see more exciting racing over the course of the year.

I agree with your comment about cruising around point racing. It's not much fun to watch and I really don't think it does anything to grow the fan base but the structure you point out seems to put it all on wins. The consistency part kind of looses all value in the structure you describe and I think it should...

On the surface, points from the Heats/ Semi and LCQ looks to be a fair idea. They chould also award 10 bonus points to the rider with the most wins at the end of the year. Back in 2010 midway through the season, RV had to win all the remaining races in order to win the championship from Dungey. If...

Mikey said it in the last episode of Behind the Dream. RV loves to take on a challenge and consistency is the challenge. That's RV's goal this year. I'd say he's doing a good job at it since he's currently winning the championship..

I'm specifically talking about him going for a win over JS when the risk vs. reward is acceptable to the points leader. San Diego and Detroit were 2 good examples of him taking the points as opposed to the risks of going after James. I just see it as a missed opportunity from the fans perspective. Sounds to me like...

I'd still like to see Feld and the teams look into revamping the points system towards something that would encourage a rider in RV's current position to sometimes just go for the win and not worry about the points. They could change it so every other race is used towards the championship points and the remainder are straight up purse...

It's championship money and he definitely knows what he's doing. There's no need to go after JS at this time, especially with the Dunge right there behind him waiting for a mistake. I'm not saying he could of beat him, I'm just saying he didn't have to and it just kind of makes for a lost opportunity when you could...

6 races to go and were looking forward to the MX season? I'm glad RV is playing it smart and winning the championship but I think Feld needs to figure out a way to curb mediocrity in the future. Can't do much for building interest in the sport when you hear the announcers basically trying to explain why the 2nd...

I've been critical of Emig's announcing in the past but sitting behind the keyboard makes it easy to do so sometimes, which I'm ashamed to say. The little I've learned about him though makes me really admire the hard work he has had to put in to overcome the simple things that we've been given and take for granted. He...

It's great that we've had more live coverage than any other year, but acknowledge in the press release that it's unfortunately not going to be live to accomplish this change. That way we understand you can appreciate, how much we appreciate seeing a live sporting event.

Some of these injuries happened because they were needing to race outside their comfort zone in order to beat RV. Anyway these comparisons are useless.
I hear what the people are saying about it needing to be on FX1 but you're right on the money. AURORA, Ill. (December 30, 2013) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today the long awaited 2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, television schedule on FOX Sports and CBS Sport, featuring all races live and special one-hour feature programs...
