And besides if everybody else faulted but you, then they would be spawned at the last checkpoint going to same speed that your going. So essentially it would be as if the race started right there and you all are taking off at the same spot with the same momentum and everything. I think in the end it would turn out to be who hits the end best, and if you all have the same momentum and speed, it would be fair.

While I agree that probably 98% of the time the leader that never faulted or lost points would still get the most points, if everyone was just behind the leader by a bit, then all faulted right before the last checkpoint, then all spawned with the leader at the last checkpoint, then proceeded to all beat the leader, I would be pretty pissed if I was the leader. That was not a sentence, but hopefully you get the point.

If someone tries to use that spawning system to their advantage, then smack them in the head with a controller or something, because they are sitting right next to you.
This is just the local multiplayer you are seeing.

That's very true. I don't know how the screen will work with XBL but if going "off screen" will take points away then I would have to imagine that everyone has to share the same screen for it to be fair online. I don't see why they would make two very different scoring systems for local versus XBL. Well, I see WHY they would do it, but I don't think they will.

in online multiplayer, the camera follows you as far as I know, so there would be no faults for going "off screen" of the other riders.

When playing multiplayer over Xbox Live you see the camera centered on your own bike. The other players can vanish off either side of the screen and not be affected. If you fault, you will respawn at the last checkpoint you passed as it does in Trials HD, but with a short pause to deter fault spammers (is that a term?). Whoever crosses the finish line first gets the maximum points (unless they have faulted).

1. LOCAL multiplayer everybody shares the same screen?
2. ONLINE XBL multiplayer everybody has their own screen?
3. Is the scoring system for BOTH is the same?

In XBL MP will you always be the closest rider to the screen or random?

Well then I stand corrected. Props to you guys for figuring out a good system.
