Pomislite F1 dvojne točke sezono finale je malo umetno? Potem vam ne bo všeč NASCAR novo obliko "play-off"... Eden govoril točk sezoni do sedaj je bila odločitev športa načelniki odda dvojne točke za zadnji dirki leta. Ideja je za popestritev dejanja, tako da bo bolj verjetno prvenstvo boj, zaide v zadnjem krogu. Ampak ideja je bila v veliki meri lambasted navijači, ki menijo, da je umetno izmišljene prevara – in ki upravičeno poudarjajo, da to dejansko so povečale Sebastian Vettels zmagovalna prednost zadnja sezona. Še vedno, če F1 navijači mislijo, da je izmišljene, morajo sprejeti pogled na nov sistem, ki je pravkar uvedla NASCAR Sprint Cup. Letos zelo priljubljen ameriški stock car serije bo funkcija novo prvenstvo obliko, ki zagotavlja štiri-car, dobitnik-se-vse showdown v zadnjem krogu. Zdaj, je bila vedno NASCAR podružnice športa, ki se je osredotočil na ustvarjanje pahljača prijazen dramo in razburjenje. Tako ko Matt Kenseth osvojil naslov 2003 z a velik marža kljub zmagovalni samo ena dirka vse leto, ni bilo res kaj sankcionirajo telo Hotel. Nameravata prvak moral zmagati dirke- in za naslov dol na zadnjih dirkah. Za leto 2004, so uvedle lov za Sprint Cup. Medtem ko NASCAR je vedno zanikala Chase je navdihnila playoff format se uporablja v večini ameriških športov zagotovo doseženi podobni cilj. Prvotno, prvih deset voznikov v seštevku po 26 dirke je njihove vsote točk ponastaviti, in nato battled za naslov v zadnjih desetih dirkah. Je bila umetna, vendar prav gotovo pomagal graditi interes v zadnjih dirkah. Chase je doživela več poteg od potem širi 12 voznikov in z različnih točkah poteg, da večji poudarek na zmagami. Zanimivo je, zasledovanjem ni ustavil enega voznika iz dominira: Jimmie Johnson je osvojil prvenstvo v šestih Chase deset let, vključno z 2013. Njegova naloga bo težje letos: NASCAR je zdaj prenovljen celoten sistem, polaganje poudarek trdno na zmago. V redu, zdaj Bodite pozorni: obstajajo 16 točk na voljo leta Chase mrežo, ki bo šel v top 16 voznik točk z zmago po prvi 26 dirkah. Učinkovito, če zmagaš, vaša v. Preprosta. Zdaj, to je, kjer se stvari malo jezen. Po prvih treh dirkah, spodaj štirje vozniki v točkah bo izločena iz Chase. Štiri več bo zmanjšal po šesti dirki, s štirimi več po deveti. Predvsem, vse Chase voznika, ki zmaga na dirki v nobeno od teh oddelkov tri dirke učinkovito prejeli adijo v naslednji krog, in točke ponastavi po vsakem krogu izločanja. Če ste sledili matematike, boste delo, kaj to pomeni: končni štirje vozniki levo v Chase bo šel za sklepni race na Speedway domačija-Miami z njihove točke reset. Je a nedoločni zaimek-dirka, dobitnik-se-vse ustrelil-out za prvenstvo. Kar štirje vozniki zagotavlja najvišjo konča v sezoni finale zmaga na prvenstvu. Kot dolgoletni oboževalec NASCAR, je malo težko prebaviti. Naslov prvaka je moral nagrado vozniki telesa dela skozi celotno sezono-deloma zato, ker obstaja toliko spremenljivk, ki zagotavljajo rezultati ene dirke nikoli predstavljati kdo je bil najboljši voznik čez sezono. To je dejal, štiri voznike, ki dosežejo to zadnji dirki bo vse moral zmagati dirke in dosledno rezultat tudi v Chase. Voznik, ki pride v to končni krog ustrelil-out bo zaslužijo strel na naslov. In ta zadnji dirki bo nedvomno bistveno ogled-ki je nekaj, kar lahko dvojno točk F1 sezona finale. Torej, kaj misliš? Je prvenstvo nagrado sezoni, dolgi doslednost, ali je zagotavljanje krog showdowna dober način, da gredo? ID biti navdušen slišati vaše misli. Think F1's double-points season finale is a bit artificial? Then you won't like NASCAR's new 'play-off' format. . . One of the talking points of the Formula One season so far has been the decision by the sport's chiefs to award double points for the final race of the year. The idea is to spice up the action by making it more likely the championship battle goes down to the final round. But the idea has been largely lambasted by fans, who see it as an artificially contrived gimmick – and who rightly point out that it would have actually increased Sebastian Vettels winning margin last season. Still, if F1 fans think thats contrived, they should take a look at the new system just introduced by the NASCAR Sprint Cup. This year, the hugely popular American stock car series will feature a new championship format that guarantees a four-car, winner-takes-all showdown in the final round. Now, NASCAR has always been a branch of the sport that has put the focus on creating fan friendly drama and excitement. So when Matt Kenseth won the 2003 title by a big margin despite winning just one race all year, it wasnt really what the sanctioning body wanted. They wanted a champion to have to win races – and for the title to go down to the final races. For 2004, they introduced the Chase for the Sprint Cup. While NASCAR has always denied the Chase was inspired by the playoff format used in most American sports, it certainly achieved a similar goal. Originally, the top ten drivers in the standings after 26 races had their points totals reset, and then battled for the title over the final ten races. It was artificial, but it certainly helped build interest in the final races. The Chase has undergone several tweaks since then, expanding to 12 drivers and with various points tweaks to put a greater emphasis on winning races. Interestingly, the Chase didnt stop one driver from dominating: Jimmie Johnson has won the championship in six of the ten Chase years, including 2013. His task will be harder this year: NASCAR has now revamped the entire system, putting the focus firmly on winning. Alright, pay attention now: there are 16 spots available in this years Chase Grid, which will go to the top 16 drivers in the points with a win after the first 26 races. Effectively, if you win, youre in. Simple. Now, this is where things get a bit mad. After the first three races, the bottom four drivers in the points will be eliminated from the Chase. Four more will be cut after the sixth race, with four more after the ninth. Notably, any Chase driver who wins a race in any of those three-race sections will effectively receive a bye to the next round, and the points will be reset after each round of eliminations. If youve followed the maths, youll work out what that means: the final four drivers left in the Chase will go to the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway with their points reset. It will be a one-race, winner-takes-all shoot-out for the championship. Whichever of the four drivers secures the highest finish in the season finale wins the championship. As a long-time fan of NASCAR, its a bit hard to digest. A championship title is supposed to reward a drivers body of work throughout a whole season – in part because there are so many variables that ensure the results of a single race will never represent who the best driver over a season was. That said, the four drivers who reach that final race will all have had to win races and score consistently well in the Chase. Any driver who gets into that final round shoot-out will deserve a shot at the title. And that final race is undoubtedly going to be essential viewing – thats something the double-points F1 season finale might not be. So what do you think? Should a championship reward season-long consistency, or is guaranteeing a final round showdown a good way to go? Id be fascinated to hear your thoughts.
