What's the point in having 40 riders on the gate if only top 20 get points. A guy can get 21 place every moto beating out 19 OF THE FASTEST GUYS IN THE WORLD and still be tied with the guy that got 39 every weekend at the end of the season. Complete bullshit they need to pay points all the way to 40 so every guy can at least race for points
And it's Not the only flaw
There are plenty lol

Look at lap times of top 10 vs 30-40th dont even belong on same track
Sure the lower tiered guys would score points but nowhere near enough to get a Top 100 number. Scoring points just for the sake of scoring points? Useless.
Besides the Top 100 already has a whole bunch of them taken as career numbers from guys finishing in the top 10 in points over the years. It's even worse now that they've been combining the 250 East SX and 250 West SX points with the 250 outdoor points for the past couple of years. Should go back to just the 250 outdoor points since it's a national series and not a regional series.
Want to score points, get faster.
Don't fix what's not broken.
Position Points
1 50
2 46
3 44
4 42
5 40
6 38
7 36
8 34
9 32
10 31
11 30
12 29
13 28
and so on
F1 and MotoGP don’t pay points to the entire field either so it’s not as if Pro Motocross is alone in this practice.
I've compared the 40 versus 20 to 22 over the years when comparing MX to SX: they both work for me. Besides, 40 riders do get a chance in Suprecross.
Btw, I've seen more than a few riders go from "out of the points" to "in to the points" on the last lap of a national...which is also awesome.

if limiting who gets points is good then shirly the above is good?
