them would feel comfortable with.
That being said, we have had
further dialogue on that in terms
of possibly racing twice in a week
with a few days in-between. That's
something that's on the table right
now being discussed.
Has there been any talk in
the past about double points
at some races if you can't get
all 17 in?
Of course, everything is on
the table. We have had some
conversations. We don't want to
do double points. It's not neces-
sarily something that's high on the
docket. It is an option, of course,
but at this point, we feel comfort-
able in getting all seven rounds in.
So, it hasn't been high on the list
of topics.
Is there any set number via
the AMA or the FIM on how
many Supercross rounds must
happen before you can declare
a champion? If, for some rea-
son, things get worse and you
just cannot do another race,
would you be able to declare a
champion as it stands now?

Las Vegas is team-less and might
be a good fit for Supercross and
perhaps host multiple SX rounds
before the year is out.
are you considering when it
comes to double-headers?
Back when Seattle first went
off the schedule, that's the
conversation that we were hav-
ing. At one point, we thought
we were only going to have to
deal with this one time and race
Saturday/Sunday in Detroit
and move on to the rest of the
calendar. Obviously, a lot has
changed since then. But the
overall feedback from riders and
teams [is] that's not a good idea.
That's not something that any of
Supercross
scheduling could
get tricky when
it comes to the
2020 outdoor MX
Nationals.
"WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO FINISH
OUT THE SEASON WITH 17 ROUNDS AT THIS POINT."
