THE RATIONALE

For some time, fans across the country have wondered why the USHRA does not run a public points system of some kind for their Monster Jam series. We are included in the group that would love to be able to follow the standings of such a series each week--so much so that we have decided to run an UNOFFICIAL ranking system that will show us who is performing the best in the Monster Jam series this season!!

 

We are of the belief that a berth in the Monster Jam World Finals should be earned based on performance throughout the year in both racing and freestyle. Regardless of what portion of the monster truck industry you favor, there is no denying that the Monster Jam World Finals is the biggest and highest profile event our sport has to offer. A chance to compete at this event is a big deal for many drivers out there, and it is our opinion that they should be able to earn their way in. We're not saying that Live Nation doesn't pick the World Finalists based on performance currently--we're simply saying that we don't know how they make up the field because the process isn't made public.

 

So with that in mind, we have created an UNOFFICIAL points system that is simple (although it may seem complicated) that rewards performance in all Monster Jam events across the country leading up to the World Finals. In our Standings, we will show the cut-off after the 24th truck, indicating that IF entry to the World Finals was based SOLELY on performance, these are the drivers that would be headed to Las Vegas. Keep in mind that this is just for fun and has no actual bearing on the selection of World Finals participants!! See below for a breakdown of our points system and our rationale for the decisions we made in creating it.

What is an ELITE level show?  We define an ELITE Monster Jam event as "one-night only" show with a field of 10 of more trucks. We have chosen to award these events the highest amount of points, because these are the highest profile Monster Jam events. These events are the ones held in the major stadiums in front of the biggest crowds, some of which are even televised on SPEED. It is our belief that performance in the highest profile shows should be weighted most heavily toward a World Finals berth because these events are most similar to the World Finals itself. The most points any one driver can score in an ELITE level event (and thus in any event) is 40.

What is a MAJOR level show?  We created the MAJOR designation to handle shows that are high profile, but do not quite meet the requirements to be an ELITE level event. Events falling in this category must have a field of 8 or more trucks, and run no more than 2 different shows during the course of the weekend--for events running 2 shows, the above points are awarded for each show, making the event total worth the same as an ELITE level event (i.e. San Antonio, Toronto). If the event has 3 or more shows, it is down-graded to a NORMAL level event--the reason for this is each show that is run during the weekend downgrades the significance of each individual show. It is our opinion that anymore than two shows in a weekend takes those events down to NORMAL status.

What is a NORMAL level show? The majority of Monster Jam events held around the country are NORMAL level shows. These events are typically held in smaller arenas around the country, consisting of multiple shows held over the course of the weekend (anywhere from 2-5), with fields of anywhere from 4-8 trucks. Looking at the points awarded for these shows, you will notice they are much less than the upper levels. We equate the significance level of an entire weekend of NORMAL level shows with the significance of one ELITE level show--thus, the maximum points a driver can earn in a weekend at a NORMAL event is 40 (this based on the maximum # of shows being 5 (i.e. Tacoma), and an available 8 points per show (8x5=40)).

 

THE Q&A

 

Read all that and still have questions??  Don't worry, we're sure that many of you out there do. So take a moment and email us your questions at ross@themonsterblog.com. Every so often we will post your questions here and answer them for all to see. Why? Odds are good that if you have a question, plenty of others out there do too!!  Send them to us!!  We would also be curious to hear from any of the Monster Jam competitors who visit the site (we know you're out there, we've seen pics from the site on your MySpace's lol). What do you guys think?  Email us!!

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: (From Kyle in Ontario) - I like the idea for this ranking system, it should be fun to follow. My question is about the weighting of the NORMAL level events versus the others?  Only two points for the winner of each contest seems kind of low. Could you explain how you came up with two?

 

Answer: Thanks for the question Kyle. Here is our rationale for awarding only 2 points for the winner of each contest at the smaller shows. Over the course of a weekend, a driver can win a maximum of 20 points (assuming a complete sweep of a 5-show weekend) at a NORMAL level event. Consider the significance of a weekend of shows in, for example, Reno, NV versus the significance of, for example, the Houston Monster Jam. It is our opinion that sweeping a show in Reno is only worth 50% of sweeping Houston. This is why we have broken the points down this way.
     We also feel like there is evidence that this is a good system. After Week 4, Gary Porter in Grave Digger is currently ranked in the top 24, having not even had the chance to compete in a MAJOR or ELITE level event thus far. His domination in the smaller shows would, in our theoretical system, still manage to qualify him for the World Finals. We are of the opinion that a driver competing in only NORMAL level events should have to dominate in order to "make the cut". Keep in mind however that the majority of drivers are scheduled for at least one or two MAJOR or ELITE shows over the course of the season, which gives them their chance to prove theirselves on the biggest stage. Hope this answers your question!!

 

Question: (From Steve in NY) - Are you counting the Thunder Nationals shows in this or doing it separately or at all for that matter?

 

Answer: Excellent question Steve. Thunder Nationals events are counted in our system under the NORMAL level event category. As you know, in past years Black Stallion has appeared at the World Finals as the representative from the Thunder Nationals circuit. But that wasn't done this past year (Black Stallion won the TN Championship in '06 and was not at the World Finals), and because drivers competing in Thunder Nationals this year (Brown, Raab, Vaters, etc.) also compete in Monster Jam events, we decided to count all USHRA events equally to not penalize the Thunder Nat's regulars. See the Results page at the link above to see where the TN events have been included and the points scored by each driver.
