The NTPA championship class races can be improved.

I was talking to a puller yesterday and he was telling me that the way NTPA decides their class champions is so poorly done that there is no excitement, no buildup for all their hard work. We were talking of ways to improve it, the idea of having all classes bringing the top 5 in each class to the Enderle Sept 15th for one points hook. Crown all your champions in one place before a live audience would bring well deserved recognition for all the pullers hard work. The other plus is the ability to have a rain date for the following day. Dick Morgan www.PULLOFF.com Independent Pulling News |

Some of you aren't getting it. Dick is suggesting all GN champions be crowned at one spot, and they may or may not have the championship wrapped up going into that event. If they do have it clinched they still win the title, they just get some recognition they otherwise might not receive. Bryan Lively -

I'm not a fan of that idea. One guy dominates all year and then has a bad hook at enderle and gets hosed?Besides, the enderle format isn't really catching fire with the fans. Do you really like 5 hook classes at a pull? Competition is what drives this sport, so add more, not less. |

It's just one more points hook for every class. Dick Morgan www.PULLOFF.com Independent Pulling News |

Thats the point, trying to decide the championship on one hook. |

I don't think he's proposing deciding the Championship with just one hook. It would simply be an additional points hook to add on to the end of the season for all the classes. It would mean that ALL the class champions are crowned on one place. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service. The cost is covered out of my pocket.

on hook

Why not 4 more hooks , and they are all crowned in one place already . If you are going to run some you have to run them all not just the top 5, because why shouldn't 6th place have a shot at 5th? why shouldn't 9th have a shot at 6th? |

I'm not proposing the idea... I don't really like the idea. I'm simply explaining the idea to you since you weren't clear on the concept. However, you're completely wrong on that they are all crowned in one place already. The LSS Champion has already been crowned (in Bowling Green). Some classes have 2 more hooks, some 1, and some more. The class Champions are crowned at different event throughout the next few weeks. I will agree that it would be nice to have them all crowned in one place (hence the goal of 1 more hook to crown everyone in the same place... that's why not having 4 more hooks). Again, I'm not a fan of the idea, it's not my idea, I'm just trying to help you understand the idea. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service.

in my mind pullings points chases are boring,i see no point in doing it,however I do enjoy d.l.m point races,with points earned in many different ways.in racing the competition is much closer so its more exciting,in pulling the competition couldn't be further apart...... |

Before brian France made the playoffs in the cup series NASCAR attendance was at an all time high.
At that time the cup series points system was very similar to pulling. Champions are crowned on consistency not 1 hook. 1 hook can determine a championship so don't fix what is not broken. If it's about recognition then win belt buckles, watches, and rings ! |

Always a fan.

So I wouldn't disagree with this type of idea. I'm quite sure it would work with some refinement. I was at the Hudsonville Mi. pull where the Lgt. Unlimited class was "crowned" and it was actually and definitely lackluster. All the Money Pit tractor did was pretty much bump the sled to win the championship. I don't know if he and any sort of breakage but it sure would have been nice to have them lay down a pass to win it instead of laying down. As for the "crowning" of a class champion there was nothing...pretty lame actually. |

I would like for NTPA and PPL to give a 5 point bonus for winning a pull. This would allow ground to be made up quicker with a few good runs. |

The promoters get to advertise that the fill in blank class is going to crown there champion at his pull that helps him bring in fans. And add excitement to his pull. |
