This is what the championship would have looked like if they used the new points system last year. Just an observation. Might try to do some other seasons later.
Looks like its going to favor the winner instead of the consistent guy. I still feel like tomac dominated wins last season - definitely the best rider. Just not consistent and thats why dungey won. Never have been a fan of watching the consistent 2nd place guy win the whole thing. Just my opinion. Not taking away from dungey
Consistency should be rewarded, and it is not like he was a 4th/5th place guy that won, he on the box. Most seasons are not this close, look at SX history and only a few seasons were close, most are blow outs by one person, who is winning, consistently. Guarantee you will call that boring racing.
With the new points wins are not rewarded any more than before, still 3 points more than second, it is just now lower finishes provided more points, so when you do have a bad night it does not ruin your season. Still a bad night for Dungey was usually a 4th place, I would love to be that "slow".
Lame, so after all that and saying the points structure would help guys who had some bad races to keep them in it Eli only gained 5 points over the year. And he had plenty bad races too. Waste of time, if they're gonna change it at least make it worth while and give a reward for winning.

Tomac gained 5 points because he finished outside the top 4 a total of 5 times. Dungey never did finish outside the top 4 so although he scored 17 more points (1 point per race) in the new system, he didn't get the 2 point per race bump that 5th-20th place finishes received per round.
They all ended up with more points because there was 1 more point per round available for 1st-4th, and 2 points per round for 5th-20th.
I would be interested in seeing the points change in the close series results. Seasons where the pints gap was single digits and there were some odd finishes by the champion or second place guy.
2011- Would Reed or Dungey have beaten Villopoto?
2009- Would Reed have beaten Stewart?
2006- Would Stewart or Reed have beaten Carmichael?
2003- Would Reed have beat Carmichael under this structure?
1992- Would Bradshaw have beat Stanton?
1990-Would Bayle have beat Stanton?

Tomac would have won by more...he would have checked out in that last race instead of hanging back...
Interesting stuff, thanks for posting. I'm hoping that this change will maybe increase battles for the lead? In theory obviously it sounds like it could as there is more incentive to go for the win instead of settling for second or whatever. But at the same time the objective is always to win so I'll probably be wrong.

Nice work on the math. Monday morning quarterbacking though, if Dungey had known it was a different point system he would likely have used a different strategery
You know what they say about if your aunt had nuts?
I would still prefer a Olympic system and even 1 or 2 throw away races to keep more riders in it until the last race, then let the stuff hit the fan.
It's done, and although it is a tiny change, it will likely affect nothing since most points battles are a blow out.
This thread is worthless. 2017 is over. Dungey won Tomac didn’t. What does this prove? Nothing, it doesn’t factor in the Triple Crown races, which would certainly favor consistency.
Dungey struggled to get motivated all season, it showed at many races and still beat Eli. That has to tell you where Eli really stands in the big scheme of SX.
I like the new format and points system overall. But looking backwards to see who would have won if we use the new points system is garbage. Lets go back to every SX season and refigure every championship and rewrite SX history.

I think you’re taking it a little too seriously. It’s just for fun. It’s pretty natural to think “what if this change happened sooner, how would it have affected things?” Not just with supercross, but life in general. Arguing that Eli should’ve won last year is silly, because rules are rules and he didn’t, end of story. This is just bench racing and observations, that’s all.

Who shit in your corn flakes this morning? I thought it was an interesting little stat considering for this sports entirety it's had the same points structure. This thread proves that this new points structure could have a drastic effect on the championship. I just don't understand why you're all worked up over this?

I gotcha, It just isn't in me to "What If" things that have already happened.
It's like arguing over who was better, the '86 Bulls or the '17 Warriors. Fun to discuss but in the end it's just a lot of words thrown around and no conclusion. People are passionate about it for sure. Just listen to sports talk radio for a few hours.
Some people love this type of banter and interaction, nothing wrong with it. It just isn't my thing.

They should have kept the two point gap till you get outta the top five. And of course three from 1st to 2nd. But I agree with making it to where 20-22 don't score identical points.
With the new points wins are not rewarded any more than before, still 3 points more than second, it is just now lower finishes provided more points, so when you do have a bad night it does not ruin your season. Still a bad night for Dungey was usually a 4th place, I would love to be that "slow".
