The remainder of the field is straight up based on qualifying results.

The format is slightly altered if qualifying field is divided into 2 flights because car count is greater than 36. In the event of over 36 cars in competition with a standard format, a split-qualifying format would be in effect. Cars in group one qualify into the first two heats, with cars in group two filling into the last two heats. From there, a standard format is followed with the overall qualifying seeds being meshed together, with the group including fast time taking all odd positions in the feature lineup. The other group will occupy even starting positions in the feature.

Cars making the show thru the B main get their time back but cannot start any better than the last car who occupies a heat winner designated starting spot.
I'm late to the party on this...any other questions or lack of clarity on this? I'll suggest to the studio team that they make a video explaining it like the SuperCross crowd does...but I don't think you all want to see Richie Murray dressed up like a Monster girl...
