Some people are qualifying nearly 20 seconds slower than 40th in but making it in due to no shows. I know you don't want to have a small turnout for the live stream, but it gets pretty tough to race when the amount of no shows equals having to race with people that are just crashing left and right. I don't know how you would solve this, but I don't know how we get so many no shows? (Over 30 no shows??)
Actually do like this idea.

You have to remember that it's all relative. To some people Devin is slow, in the way, and a squirrel. Where do you (as a sanctioning body) draw the line? License system is going to piss some (a lot of) people off. JLV would be doing Sween/Wheeler/Checkz a favor to ban them after the licenses are announced....

I finished 5th at Toronto after holding you off for nearly half the main event, 9th in the standings without the Vegas DQ from the E/W Shootout (11th O/A). I have 4 top 10 finishes outdoors right now (3 times as many as you, Mark), and I qualified 13th for Unadilla. Your best qualifying position is 15th, and besides that all of them are outside the top 20. Just stating some fun facts, buddy. To which people am I slow? I've been battling it out in the races with people such as Joe Sawler and Jeremy Hinners, are they slow? I don't think so, they've both led races. At Washougal I straight up hung with Tysen (And passed him/held him at bay for a lap) and Gourley for a couple laps before making some rookie mistakes, and ultimately finishing 8th. We draw the line at people like Jamal and Josh Betts qualifying for nationals by no shows. I think we should have a 10 rider alternate rule, and recommend not signing up for the event if you do not race. (Example: If you sign up for a max of 5 events and don't show up without legit reason, you can be suspended for a few races).. Idk just thinking.

PS: Banning people for good who aren't eligible for nationals, like, for good? Is that a joke? Whats the point of getting the game then? I don't understand that last part Mark. Ban everyone who doesn't earn a license? That's like banning everyone in the amateur nationals from racing and once you have a AMA license, nobody else can earn one.

No sorry on the Toronto SX part, I started 15th and worked up to 3rd and when you crashed in that rhythm I crashed and freaked out and finished 5th :lol:

He meant ban us (sween, chex, and me), so we don't have to deal with the headache!

Calm down Davis, it was just an example.

And Wheeler is right, he should ban them to avoid the headaches.

This track is by far my favorite from this year. It's so well done, ruts are good, track flows, and the jumps are perfect. Thanks to all the guys that have been working on these tracks all year, it's been a lot of fun riding them.

If you qualify and don't show up you'll get a warning. If you reach 3 warnings you're banned for 3 rounds.

Can we put this into effect for 2013? EMF does it

Give me one good reason why not? 90 something entries and only about 40 actually show up, and 30 of them aren't even qualified in the top 40. And what does it have to do with you where you say no? Just trolling or trying to start drama? There's not one bad reason not to use this idea.
