Glad to hear that the USA has been reinstated. Aren't there 9 lanes to this track? Thought this was the standard build now. Spain should not be DQ. Just let them run in lane 9.
I agree. I'd even put Germany into the final too, since they were originally listed as Qualified. 9 lanes on the track, 1 lane gets 2 teams. Tough to do with blocks. But in a 4x4, I personally don't think using blocks makes any difference in the outcome of the race. Or maybe have the USA, DR, Germany, and Spain run an additional round, a "4 for 2 (or 3)" eliminator scenario.
Or maybe run Germany, Spain and USA in a separate heat. First heat perhaps. Then the 7 teams in the 2nd heat know what time they have to chase. I think that would be fair.
Other thoughts for fairness for teams involved besides DQ if indeed an official screwed up?
