A point about the 'average' value of points being awarded at the end of a combat league week - events with 2 entries do not offer an advantage i.e. I entered and came 1st (20pts) and 2nd (16pts) = 36 points for my team for the event but I was awarded 18 points as the average points for the 'cars'. Therefore - events that have 2 entries will always get you less than a single entry event if you come 1st. Make sense? The league is 'advertised' as the average value you achieved - therefore dual entry events should reflect this by combining the values of both the cars - Whadda-ya-thunk?

Multiple ways to look at this. The average points awarded would make players, like myself, choose to have only one entry. That would give you actual points earned instead of the average.

Using two entries would be more for taking out your competition so only you would receive points for the event. Even though you got an average score between 2 entries, all other entries would get zero. (Providing they didn't earn any points during the event)

Plus, you have your multi player entry point bonus. This alone could benefit each choice listed above. This is all a part of league racing strategy. You must decide which way increases your chances of winning. Try it both ways and see which one you benefit from most.

I am sure there are other players who have different reasons and opinions for dual entries too.

It might make sense though if each gang had only one placing, based on the average score acheived by each entrant.
