What's up with the World Finals tie-breaker rule? (WF III)

I was watching the pay-per-view of World Finals III a few weeks ago on Monster Jam's YouTube membership page, and Mike Hogewood and Scott Douglass were discussing the scoring format. Scott explained that despite the highest and lowest scores being thrown out, that they will factor those scores in in the event of a tie as a tie-breaker. This really confused me because obviously this wasn't done at World Finals V when Madusa, El Toro and Max-D all tied for the freestyle win. Obviously for the next year the tie-breaker was reinstated, but it really confuses me that they seemingly just forgot about it after World Finals III. Anyone got an explanation for me?

I love when this happens...

I'm a player who started playing about either late 2017 or early 2018 and returning to Jailbreak for the first time in about a year and a half. I never remember the autoarresters being this bad ever. Maybe I'm wrong and it has been for a while but this is what happens in just about every server I'm in.

What are the some of the funniest moments in Nascar?

If there is one thing we all need right now with everything that's happened the last few months it's some laughs. I'll start us off with this iconic weather report from Larry McReynolds in 2007, my personal favourite Nascar funny moment. The late Steve Byrnes's amazing laugh in the background just makes it even more funny. A close second for me is also one of Larry McReynolds, this being his pit reporting at Michigan in 2010.

Just leaned that Guy Wood's original 'Bulldozer' chassis, the same one he used at World Finals I, not only still exists but is still in operation, now running at 'Tom Cat' in Australia! What are some other super old chassis that are still operating?

I'm an Aussie so I'll have to keep an eye out for when the South Coast Monster Trucks Tour will be nearby again to see that old thing!

The semi trailer stack they used to have at World Finals in the early 2000s was incredible! It made for so many iconic moments, Lyle Hancock driving backwards through it at the first World Finals, Meents and Anderson both stuffing their trucks into it at World finals 2, and obviously Lupe smashing through at World Finals 5 and destroying the rear end of his truck are some of the greatest moments we saw from it. Also just the fact that the thing is so damn ridiculous just makes me love it so much, a contraption designed for you to either climb up and suddenly drop off of it or to hit it from the other side and just launch through and over the stack is something you could only see in classic Monster Jam!

Was watching this fan footage of the 30th anniversary Grave Digger encore when I noticed that there was an 8th Grave Digger truck parked in thunder alley which looked to be ready to come out, headlights on and all. But the encore ended and the lights on the truck simply turned off and it remained stationary, wasn't even mentioned in the televised or DVD release of the event. What driver do you think this was, Randy Brown maybe? Interested to know your thoughts.

Just came home from watching the Michael Jackson and it reignited my interest in a potential Billy Joel movie. I saw someone say in the comment section of one of his songs that we have 'Rocket Man', we got 'Star Man', now it's time for 'Piano Man'. I'd love to see it happen one day, I'd go watch in an instant!
