As I read Joe's post, a thought occurred to me.  If the ONLY problem with 
the old system was that "only those who could afford to travel a lot and 
ride over 1,000 miles a year had any real shot at a Championship", what 
about using the average number of points gleaned at rides, not the total 
number of points?  There would need to be a minimum number of rides per 
year, or miles, say 400 miles (that's only eight 50's).  That would reduce 
the emphasis on hitting gazillions of rides and focus it more on great 
execution at each ride.  Pulls would count as rides with zero points 
earned.  This might require some tweaking for RO pulls along the lines of 
awarding points for mileage completed to RO's but it would probably make 
sense to start with all pulls = zero points.

Any thoughts on why this would or would not be an improvement over total 
season points or why it can/couldn't work?
