[WRCStan]

Does anybody have the alternative traditional table? Obviously knowing incentives may have been different.

For Kenya:

27 Rovanpera
18 Katsuta
15 Neuville
15 Fourmaux
13 Evans
8 Tanak
8 Greensmith
6 Solberg
3 Lappi
2 Serderidis
1 Kajetanowicz

WRC standings after 3 rounds with old point system:

60 Neuville (in reality he has 67)
52 Evans (61)
40 Fourmaux (46)
32 Rovanpera (31)
28 Katsuta (30)
28 Lappi (23)
23 Tanak (33)
22 Ogier (24)

For now, Tanak seems to benefit the most from new system as his friday/saturday problems don't hurt his overall points as much as it would with old system.

Going from 7 to 5 on Sunday, 20 on Saturday, would that be better?

Rugby six nations had me wondering recently. Not totally sure how you can be champions in theory, but you can score more tries yet still lose the game whilst scoring bonus points in the tournament. All designed to reward those pushing and not the teams 'cruising', whilst keeping the matches traditional.

No idea how it is in non-motorsport, but I think the closest would be NASCAR where you can win 35 races, and get one 2nd out of the 36 races, and not win the title.
Just like you can finish without a single top 10 the whole season, and still become a champion. In theory. It will never happen, but it is quite... special.

Not for me. I want the actual rally winner/rally standings to matter.
