So Ulmer hooked twice and won getting 37 pts and Matt was at home and got 29 or 30 pts?

yes adam thats exactly what happened and your not the only one trying to figure it out im pretty sure ullmers dont agree with that either and frankly either do i id like to go back and check the outlaw results sometime and see if everybody that broke got hook points for not showing up at the next pull |

Im pretty sure ulmer understands. Same thing happened to him two years ago in Cameron mo. He backed the light super out of the trailer and the funky starter they use failed. Wasn't able to hook but got last place points. Yes he was there and matt wasn't but my point being neither hooked. |

Miss a hook for ANY reason, 0 points. Thats the way it should be. |

I know someone could say "because that's the way it's always been" as an attempt to justify it, but I've never understood where the amount of points came from anyway. Why get 37 points to win and zero points for being broke? It is ridiculous to think that someone should have to haul a broken tractor to an event in order to get hook points unless we're talking about getting tens of thousands of dollars for winning a point race. I've seen people bump the sled for points and frankly, it is a waste of everyone's time and the individual pullers' money. Seems that a puller who can't make a hook is totally penalized while a puller who wins a hook really doesn't get rewarded much. 37 points to win, but you only gain 1 point on the 2nd place tractor?
Why not lower the number of points for everyone. That way every point counts for a bit more and the guy who doesn't hook still might have a chance at the points race and will still show up at events down the road. I'd say 20 points for 1st, 18 for 2nd, and go on down accordingly until you award five points for everyone else (7th on down). Guys who don't hook get zero points, but losing 20 points (or less) behind the guy you are running points against is less punitive than 37 points. |

I don't doubt they have an understanding, I was just confused as I thought it was Ulmers to lose after Hinton and didn't know the ruling.
It does seem though not enough reward for the pullers there compared to a puller that doesn't hook or show. For instance this ruling in a 22-25 tractor super farm class means more of a penalty than in a 9 tractor dss class. Thanks for the update on the ruling. Edit: good thing Tyler was first hook at Hinton and got to drop the OB because an OB at Hinton would have only given him 1 pt over Matt. Seems like a flawed rule.

Re: outlaw dss battle

so what does the rule state for a guy like bowles with haleys comet he doesnt go to every pull do you still get hook points or do you just get points if your broke |

Hawarden

To answer your question ulmers took first and Goodwin took second and may have broke, he was quick to shut it off but im sure knowing Matt if it's remotely possible he'll have it in moville tonight . |

Re: outlaw dss battle

37 points
|
Sounds like it won't matter he will still get his points and be in the hunt for another championship. |

Team one

I would put my money on Matt Goodwin as long as he can get it hooked to a good track he can easily catch Ulmers so it should make wisner interesting but that is just my opinion. |

Goodwins were in hawarden last night and hooked and believe they got 2nd. Tyler won with the Lost tractor on a heck of a nice run. He had a little hard time getting all turbos spooled up off the line but did an awesome job. Dad also won the light class in missouri to get the points lead in that class now. |
