Proposal 46: Street Placing Points [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: Flat & StreetSubmitted on 2015-03-27
Status: Passed on April 07, 2015
Background
When there are many competitors (think: 70) for a competition (Street), with the existing rules, there will be a large number of ties for places > 7 because no points are awarded below 7th place.
Proposal
Old Rule:
6.31 Street Comp Judging
... After the judges have seen ALL of the riders at a single zone, they will rank the riders from best to worst. Each judge is responsible for one set of rankings at their zone; they must judge all riders against each other even if they are in different groups. Each place is awarded points as follows:
1st: 10 points
2nd: 7 points
3rd: 5 points
4th: 3 points
5th: 2 points
6th: 1 point
7th and Beyond: 0 points
... Once the judges assign places for every zone, the points will be added and the final results can be calculated (either to decide who makes it to the finals in the case of prelims, or who wins the competition in the case of finals).
New Rule:
6.31 Street Comp Judging
... After the judges have seen ALL of the riders at a single zone, they will rank the riders from best to worst. Each judge is responsible for one set of rankings at their zone; they must judge all riders against each other even if they are in different groups. For prelims, the riders will be given points according to their placement. (So 1st place gets one point, 2nd place gets two points, etc.) For finals, each place is awarded points as follows:
1st: 10 points
2nd: 7 points
3rd: 5 points
4th: 3 points
5th: 2 points
6th: 1 point
7th and Beyond: 0 points
... Once the judges assign places for every zone, the points will be added up and the results can be calculated. After prelims, the riders with the lowest sum of placement points move on to finals. In finals, the rider with the most points is the winner.
Body
For prelims let’s award 1 point for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, etc for each judge where the lowest sum is best. That way, we will not end up with 62 people tied for 8th place. Then for finals we can resume the 10/7/5/3/2/1/0 because we care more about the fine ordering of a small group opposed to filtering out the best from a large group.
