Rules and race strategy section needs improvement[edit]

This article desperately needs a better rules and strategy section. What's there at the moment is a mess. I know very little about track cycling... and reading this article hasn't helped. Pyrop e 21:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, I'm watching the Olympics and came to this page so I can understand the rules. Nothing here tells you how a team scores or wins a race. All it tells you is the length of and tagging rules. It's like having a page about snooker without mentioning the balls have different pointsFruitMonkey (talk) 10:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Olympic history / format ?[edit]

But what is it?[edit]

Can someone just provide a paragraph defining exactly what a Madison race is instead of explaining its name in other languages then going straight into the history — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.249.193 (talk) 19:11, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that there is no singular definition of what a Madison race is. The introduction states that it is "a team event in track cycling", which is the only thing that all the variants have in common. 77.167.231.99 (talk) 20:09, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actual origin of name?[edit]

This article says that the race was "named after the first Madison Square Garden in New York," but later it says that "the race that would become known as the 'Madison' was developed at the second Madison Square Garden." Well, which was it, the first Garden or the second? I know that they shared the same name, but the origin of the race's name really should be whichever Garden it was directly named for. 2604:2000:EFC0:2:7C16:4E2E:E4E5:E5E8 (talk) 16:31, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article doesn't need Full rules[edit]

I don't think this article should have the Full rules subsection. As per Wikipedia MoS it is meant to be an encyclopedia, not a how-to manual or in this case a 'rule-book'. 95.150.59.155 (talk) 17:50, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is true, it should be quite simple for you to remove this undiscussed recent addition. Kingsif (talk) 16:19, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
