In what world would a points championship be based off of 1 event?
There were 10 events and I'm pretty certain he attended more than 5.
I'm not certain how they counted points or determined a champion, but if they were going to revise it all all, the thing to do would be to take everyone's 5 or maybe 7? Best shows and throw out the rest. You take their best 5 point scoring events and whoever had the most points combined is the champion.
When you are offering 10 events, it's not much to ask the top points guys to run at least half the series, and obviously if you have someone run every event they are going to better their chances at scoring the most points, throwing out their bad events.
A lot of short track series's run a similar points system, using their top however many points nights to determine the champion.
