I thought of that - different number of participants for each segment. amybe we should average both segments to get the number of participants.
I've always maintained, that "segment" stuff is ab artificial device used by ESPN to get new people interested and keep old people in the game by wiping everyone's slate clean.
It hasn't happened yet, but someday it will - Someone will finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd overall w/o having finished in the top three in either segment.
For him to get nothing while, say the guy who finishes third in the first segment and last in the second segment and with fewer total points for the whole season gets something doesn't seem fair.
But on the third hand, someone can do well in one segment and not play in the other, so he should get something for the segment he did well in.
Maybe we need to divide the points into thirds.
