The reward is riders get points at all when other riders don't show this is

totally fair. many times the bar is won by attendance not performance.

Planning the years racing is challenging trying to figure out a way to get

my son to enough raves so his bar placement will better reflect his

abilities. This also happens to really help the team bar when local teams do

not score at southern races and vis-versa.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Comment on proposed BAR changes

A. Best All Round Rider Competition.



Points for the BAR will be weighted based on attendance. i.e. Races with

10 or less riders will get .5 of full points. Races with 11-20 will receive

.75 of full points. Races 100+ will receive 1.50%.







Since the BAR is a participatory award, shouldn't these incentives be

reversed? i.e. Wouldn't we want to reward people for going to the smaller

races rather than the races that are full anyway? I have no problem with

people getting easy BAR points at the smaller races, for perhaps that extra

incentive helps those races survive.







The proposed bonuses seem more appropriate for something like the Oregon

Cup.







Just a thought,



Brian
