MonsterJam2008 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yesterday speed aired Monster Jam World Finals 14, and as everybody on here knows Tom won the freestyle competition. Tom's run was not the best, his run was simple the best with the rules they have in place at the moment. There are 2 major changes that I would like to see made to the Freestyle competition. 1. New Scoring System: No more 3 judges 1-10 and adding up the scores. The competition is to close to use such basic means of scoring, also prevents drivers from ever getting more than a 27 in regulation. Score the runs 0-50 and average the scores between 3-6 judges, similar to how Olympic events are scored. 2. Have the clock count up: The reason the clock counts down is to pressure the drivers to go big right off the bat which is a good thing. But if the clock counted up with a maximum of 3-4 mins, drivers wouldn't suffer from doing their biggest hits after clock expires. Going back to WF 14, Tom had the best run in the 2 min time limit, but Linsey had the best run if my proposed clock system was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hopkins Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 So because tom won we should completely change how timing has always been done...... Scoring has worked just as well with the exception of WF5. My opinion is dont fix something that isn't broken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is that the current system could be improved. So that we don't end up with another WF5 scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKM Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It's not the system that is broken but it is sometimes those who are chosen to present it...seems like your idea just over-complicates a simple well known and understood format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
