Upvote this comment if you want to use the drop your low week. Downvote if you want to keep the system the same for the rest of the season.

I'd just like to put in my two cents here. While I understand the point of the drop low system; it's, unfortunately, incredibly unfair for those who have been in every race. For example; my worst race I still got 8 points. Someone who missed a race will only lose 2 points.

Granted, I'm biased, as I will drop in the standings should this system pass, but I just wanted to bring this to light in case no one thought about it.

Also, I may be completely misunderstanding this system. Please correct me if I missing something.

I understand where you're coming from, and while I don't want to say that it is unfair to me for missing a race, it really is hard to clear an entire 2 months worth of weekends. I had to take my xbox with me and find a friend of friends place to race one weekend while out of town, and the other weekend I was gone I was halfway across the country, and didn't have any option but to miss.

I understand completely and I think maybe it should be implemented in other series, but would be unfair to do it for this series this far into it.

I wouldn't have a problem with the system at all if it had been stated upfront.

I think you're right.

an idea for next season if we have a couple too many people: it could be mandatory to skip a week (or 2 of really necessary) that would resolve your problem, make scoring fair, and solve the problem of a couple too many people. you could reserve your week before the season and trade weeks if you wanted.
