If they end up being the same rider in different comps, does the work permit qualification rules move down to the next placed rider? Which could make Ruml eligible by finishing 5th.

The FIM North American Final was held (see enotian's link) The AMA sanctioned National championship was not held. The SRA sanctioned National championship ( a Costa Mesa event) was not staged The US Open (an East Coast event) was staged (see https://www.speedwaybikes.com/res2020_o/Champion-20200906.htm ) Champion New York also staged something called the Outlaw US National (look who came third!! https://www.speedwaybikes.com/res2020_o/Champion-20201011.htm ) For work permit purposes only the first of these matters.

I think it depends on the interpretation of rules, the current version of which none of us has seen. So the answer is - we have no idea, but I think a strong case can be made.
