Mike,

Yes, in years past only the 4 prelim rounds were used to determine Team
placings (which is why it had been argued in the past that the US Team
should be selected based on the prelim sequence only).

The current rulebook states -
"The team classification is established at the end of the competition (after
the finals) by adding the numerical final placing of the three team members
of each nation. Teams are ranked from the lowest numerical scores to the
highest, with complete three-competitor teams, ahead of twocompetitor
teams, which in turn are ranked ahead of one-competitor teams. In the case
of a tie, the best individual placing decides the team ranking."

So, assuming all 3 pilots from a country make the semis, they can improve or
drop in the Team standings if the individual pilots, and same thing for the
finals.  I think this is a good change for the US, as my perception is that
the top pilots in the US are better than average at unknowns.

Regards,

Dave

 OK I think I got the drift from some who stated the US team would have done
better in the world standings if the finals results were used. In the past I
think the wolrd team standings only used the prelimes.Correct?
 Also this year didn't they make a change to when and how the team standings
will be determined? Thanks again guys, Mike
