I'm not agianst a person or any race or any country.
I only want that it should be clear and it should be known how the statuses are setted.
Are there rules or aren't there rules ?
Every European Championchips had a Main Status and it's an important race for Europe, that's way i make it green as setted.
Stockholm is setted green because of the numbers of Event's. There are 7 races in Europe and 8 Statuses.
Perhaps i posted the wrong rule, i mean't what Corky said: The High Statuses races should be over the whole season and not close to each other, what makes sense.
Don i'm not against you or your idea. What i try to reach is, that we have some guidelines setted how the whole thing should work. Every year is diffrent how the statuses are decide.
Why i'm every time asking Jani and Corky is because they have a lot of experience and know how the whole thing can happen.
ss.com is a Forum where every one can say what he thinks.
I think the desicion should be done by an organisation (ISSA) or the race promoters until we have an organisation who is represented by all countries.
I think no country should have more than one Main Status.
At this point where we are now, i think a competition who is the first time in, can't get the highest status, even if they have 100'000 Euros prize money.
I think we need guidlines for the allocation of the Statuses.
