I'd agree Phil, but its what defines a guest rider that I'm suggesting the change is made to.
I believe that guest rider status should be given to any rider who enters the series without an ambition to take part in the whole series, or someone who joins the series late (say after three quarters of the rounds have passed) just to gain experience. (if they joined that late they cannot reasonably be expected to score enough points to factor)
Therefore we allow riders to gain experience or testing, and by not gaining points, not hinder any riders who are battlling for champs positions.
Just beacuse other race series don't have these restrictions doesn't mean we shouldn't either.
We should do what's in the best interests of the riders who have supported the race series all year.
