I like the sound of this, gives a lot of flexibility and makes sure a reasonable number for second Cadwell.
Personally I wouldn't bother with DNS or DNF just drop you 7 worst scores, nobody goes out to crash.

Looking forward to a cracking season which ever way people decide.

I also like the flexibility of 26 to score from 33, I also suspect that the 2nd Cadwell may have very low turnout if it's non championship.
As to DNS or DNF it just increases the effect of luck, not skill. DNF is not only about crashing yourself, it could be getting someone else's crash (or avoiding one) or a mechanical, lets try and keep it all about skill and speed!

Agreed here, dropping any 7 would also tighten things up and make people more likely to do more meets.

Unlimited DNFs would also allow those not comfortable in the wet pull out of a race should it start raining

I'm happy to go with all races of which there are 33 to count as point scoring but only a riders best 26 results to count towards the overall championship

So all involved in this thread seem to agree to go with:-
a, All 33 races count towards championship points.
b, Riders are to drop their 7 lowest scoring race points.

Do we need to make a vote thread for these ideas?
I'm happy to propose it.

What you thinking then Kev? To me part of a champion should be that they can ride in all conditions.

If it's like this season, they'll need to anyway (ride in the wet).
If it's like 2013, it'll be a non issue as most races were dry.

I think:-
3 races in August is too expensive.

we counted 23 races in 2014 because all 26 seemed to much, why are we now expected to count 26?

dropping more races doesn't help because you have to go to them all just in case you have a shocker or get knocked off at a later round and need the points to add to your total.

the only fair way is to make Cadwell 2 not count. Then drop 5 or 6 races from the remaining 29. This way you don't have to go to cadwell if money is tight and it can't effect the championship points.

If turnout for cadwell is low cos it counts but can be dropped, it is a massive advantage for those that live near.

If turnout is low for cadwell cos it doesn't count then Hottrax shouldn't put on 11 rounds.

Is the ethos of DD not affordable racing? the costs have gone way up with 8 rounds then 9 and now 11!

There May be 3 races in August but there are non in July.

If you can drop any 7 races, than you can afford to plan to not go to 1 entire meeting and still have plenty of slack for mishaps.

Alternatively, rather than count your best 26 races, why not count your best 8 meetings. I don't see any reason why Cadwell 2 can't be point scoring for those that want to score points there but can't make other rounds.
