How many events should a Champs Tour or GN tour have?

I used "events" instead of "hooks" because most but not all CT/GN events are 2-hook per class, multi-day affairs.
Of course this may differ by class, but in general, how many events is reasonable for a national points series, in your opinion. ("Trip" and "event" could be synonyms) Is 8-10 reasonable? Should it be limited to 5-6 trips? # of hooks would be nearly double the # of events except for 1 day events like Wellington. OH. |

My opinion is ~8 events and ~16 hooks, all should be two events, unless they are two events within a few hours of each other that can be made on the same trip (Fri/Sat). I also would like all events to be a Fri/Sat if possible. It would also be nice if there weren't 3-4 events on back to back to back weekends. |

Mt. Sterling and Salem, Illinois lost their Friday-Saturday night Grand National events a couple years ago. Always same classes at both locations, about 4 hours apart. |

And why did NTPA lose these 2 back to back night Illinois GN events? |

I believe the dates were the same as the Rockwell three-day event. So, PPL picked them up and then with the uncertainty around PPL, I don't think there was an event at either place this year? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/11/2023 04:53AM by TripleAlphaProcess. |

Yes, they gave those 2 dates to Rockwell. |

Just a point of FACT, one of those events dropped NTPA and signed with PPL, BEFORE anyone was asked to change dates to accommodate a 5 session, 3 day GN event in one place that also bought TV time as well as the hired the NTPA scoreboard, and live streaming.
So there is that, "business decision" thing. |

Twelve events on Frday/Saturday. And Grand National/Champion Tour classes and competitors only. |

That would probably make for some short shows if you only allow GN license holders to pull. |
