How many events should a Champs Tour or GN tour have? October 09, 2023 04:04AM
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?

Incorrect, both Mt. Sterling and Salem had PPL events this year.

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.
