How do you guys like the points system for these?
They did 3x, 13.5minute-ish motos. 17 laps each. That's a lot of laps for 26 points...
Hard to reconcile them as full points paying vs a normal 20min+1 moto, but perhaps they should implement a triple crown points purse or something?

If we count the track time they get in main events, something like 36 minutes instead of 22, the race could pay about 1.5 time more.
The Shop
Or, say some rider has a minor injury that he is riding through while trying to not lose too many points. If that happens to be during a triple crown event, he is at a distinct disadvantage compared to his competitors who might have the same type of issue, but during a regular round.
Barcia crashed completely out at A2, and still earned 13 pts.
And it would be rad to also include LCQ's
Eli smoked the first two, equalling more laps than a normal main... You could argue he wasn't commensurately compensated for that effort....
And as Dirty Points said Barcia and also AC and to an extent Eli had it work for them where a bad result was covered up.
I get the penalized thing, but it's just so many laps and starts for the same 3 point gain... We do afterall reward the winner with a bonus point compared to the normal point spread of 2 or 1...
