As I said, suggested to me a while ago. Simple, yes, workable and probably ends up complicated, yes and no.Who keeps a tally of the total? The rider? How easy is this to verify should the need arise or a query be raised? Given that at present many riders can't even write a time on a form correctly, will riders be filling it in correctly when adopting a more complicated system (especially when you start adding in things such as which types of event count toward which entries, for example club event results not counting toward National entries)?
That is before you even start to consider how highly dependant placing is on the quality and the size of the field in which you compete! I've been 2 mins clear of the rest of the field in a 10 before, yet been outside of the top 5 on other days, even on the same course, yet my times have been within +-10 seconds for both cases.
As was once quoted "to every problem there is an obvious and simple solution, which is usually wrong!"
