This keeps people who crash from scoring points in a class (disincentive for crashing) and prevents the obligatory 1 lap ride at the end of the season.

It could be worded as follows:

7.2.1 Finish Position
A. To qualify for a finish position a rider must start the race with the green flag/light or start while the race is in progress.
B. Any rider who does not complete the full race distance for any reason will be awarded a finish position based on the distance they completed.
C. Any rider who is on the grid but does not start the race or join the race in progress will be scored as a DNS at the bottom of the results in the same order as their original grid positions.
D. If the rider does not qualify for a finish position, that rider will not receive points for that race.
E. If the rider starts, but does not finish the race no points will be awarded to that rider


what about the guy who gets crashed into who was not the fault of the crash
Yeah I have a big issue about the wording and idea behind this. I have seen riders and personally been involved in crashes that were not my fault. Now you are saying that I would get 0 points? I always thought "crashing" was a disincentive of itself...

I also want to ask about the idea of doing 1 lap on someone elses bike, just to get "some" points and hopefully a shot at keeping a top 5 championship. With this rule, if I was going to borrow a bike now I must complete the entire race? I borrowed Eriks bike once, it was for MWSS and his novice class was following right behind. I did one lap so that I could get his bike back to him, and he could get ready for his race, make sure the bike is fueled, let the brakes cool down, etc. Just my opinion.
