I guess one mans points grab is another man's super cool event event with lots of entries.

Most people don't run for points anyway so in the end it makes little practical difference. But it will be unfortunate if the perception of the quad event is that it is no longer a quad and is just a jumped up double.

This also takes the possibility of a triple weekend (qual-race race-race) out of the mix. Which is unfortunate. Looks like we're locking ourselves into the old school double format.

I'd like to know where the push for this came from. I doubt it was a groundswell from competitors (aka the customers).
