Today we did a change on the Main Classifications Position.

Before today, the ties in points were considered as the same position, and the next team in points the next to them the next in positio. It’s easy to understand:

Position 1. Team 1 100 points

Position 2. Team 2 99 points

Position 2. Team 3 99 points

Position 3. Team 4 90 points

This was making a conflict with the Classification By Country Points, who are the next format:

Position 1. Team 1 100 points
Position 2. Team 2 99 points

Position 2. Team 3 99 points

Position 4. Team 4 90 points

As you can see, the Team 4 is 4th now, and in the main it was third.

There was a conflict there, and some team managers made their claims.

As there are two teams in the second position with the same number of points, we made the General Classification to be that too, to make it more realistic and the positions a bit more fair.

Now, if two or more teams have the same number of points, they are in the same position but they take the number of positions they would if they were in different points. That’s the new rule. This doesn’t mind so much, because the main thing to determine your team position is your number of points.

Changes on Countries Classification will be announced soon too.

Thanks to all for your help!
