I'm not sure I understand the reason for the point system. Isn't it now exactly the same now as the standard scoring system, just that every player gets 3 fewer points per race, so it's all offset equally? First place still earns two more points than second. With fourth still getting a single point, this is what makes it focused on first place, because one player could come first in every race/event, and as long as their teammate is there to pick up the one point, then they'll win. This was discussed in the doubles thread when it was to be revived.

I don't think it's a big deal for a casual fun thing like this at all, and don't want to derail anything by starting a big discussion about it, but on the surface it looks the same as always, so it would seem to make sense to just use the standard system to make life easier, as normal races will already be in that format and only ZB or eliminator events will have to be added on.
