They came close to having a good idea here... this thing definitely needs to be tinkered with.

They just made it way more confusing, dopey, and unfair than it needed to be.

Just come out with something simple like this...

Quote:
Grade 1 Routes on main track (20-10-4-2)

Grade 2 Routes on main track (10-5-2-1)

Grade 3 Routes on main track and all Grade 1 sprints (6-3-1)

And pretty much no one could complain.

Not that I know of.

The point system they came up with is much more complicated than the Graded earnings system.
