And I believe that the tournament system Brandon is talking about is to make sure that unless an upset occurs, the 1 and 2 seed meet in the finals instead of them knocking each other out early Not many fans of sports around here, it seems. To be honest, i don't know whether to do the system as names drawn from a hat (random), or to do idea suggested by rcracer11m which is 1st paired with last, 2nd with 2nd to last, and so on. I know what my choice would be, but I will start a poll to see everyone's opinion If you do the former, you can use the results to then seed returning drivers for a second running of the event (Winner gets 1 seed, Runner up get's 2nd, etc). The qualification idea for the latter seems better in the long run, as it'll "most likely" ensure the top two racers meet in the Finals. No one wants to see a championship match in the 1st round. Makes the rest of a tournament a snooze fest. And if you really want to drag things out, maybe give drivers a chance to redeem themselves... you do a Double Elimination Tournament.

We now have 12 people in this event, and judging by the interest given, I am going to switch to the "1st with last, 2nd with 2nd last, etc" method. I need to figure out a playlist, however I do not want to decide the playlist by myself, so... I will put up a poll of city tracks, then a poll for hill tracks and finally a poll for blaine county tracks. If you do not want any of the tracks listed, please say what track you would prefer. As far as match-ups are concerned, I will pick a track, and you will have 10 laps to get the fastest time on the track in sports. Please note, the car that you use in this session will be the car you use for the event. I will invite you to a game, and I will record the lap times set. Just message me or post on this thread when you would like to do your lap session for the match-ups. Tracks will be confirmed tonight

What's the qualifiying track going to be Hit the Apex, 5 laps If we didn't have to use the same car throughout qualifying and the playlists then I would bring out my sultan but now I don't know what to use. I wish we could change cars.

If it's not too late, I'm in!
As for the qualifiers, why don't we do the races solo, and then post photos of our best times here? Seems easier to organize, and it seems rather appropriate since it's going to be a 1v1 event.

You have to organise a time with the person you were matched up with, so it is whatever time you and the other person agree to. As for th lap time thing, I don't see why not, but the only reason that I was recording the lap times was because you are only supposed to have 5 laps, whereas some people could just keep practicing until they get a time they are happy with, then post it.

Fair enough, I guess it would be too open to people just doing a 5-lap race 600 times
