I think the solution to the surprise 1 hour races with 20 minute Qualifying is to just not have them at all unless the series is 1 hour races every week. I typically won't bother joining 1 hour races for a number of reasons, and a couple of times I've accidentally registered for one not reading the fine print, and ducked out after 20-30 minutes of racing until it inevitably turns into hotlapping all alone. I'd rather have 6 weeks of 20 minute races in the series that I want to participate in, instead of 5 weeks of one way and then 1 week being a pretty big departure from the norm (especially if tires and/or fuel on the particular car require a pit strategy of which I have no interest in coming up with).

I do agree that if you don't actually finish the vast majority of a race you shouldn't get any points. How do other leagues calculate that? Do you just have to cross the finish line after Final Lap is shown? Do they actually look at your gap from 1st and it has to be within some threshold? I don't care what the method is... but I think you should at the very least finish HALF the lap the leader did to get anything. If not 90%.
