Actually, I'm not suggesting that. I think it would be too much of a swing the other direction, I was just making a point.

So the points system rewards consistency...that doesn't sound so bad.

Also, contrary to the AMA system of 2008, the MRA does not award zero points to a rider that crashes. In the MRA a crasher gets last place points, which would only be zero in the event that there are more than 30 riders in the class, and that isn't a problem we currently have.
