This means that if a judge can't make it for what ever reason the backup judge will call the battle. I am only looking for people who know what they are doing. if you want to know how the battle's are judged, view the rules video near the bottom of this post.

Due to me being an unorganised F... head, i missed this battle due to a combination of connection issues, being occupied by making the header and being a total tool. But the guys ran without me and Cervatoz uploaded the video to photobucket for me. Both guys did well in both battles but a combination of the occasional straighten up and a bad spin from johan gave the early 10-0 to chris. He ran a good second run (from what i could see) but chris did well to leave cervatoz in smoke, giving the end score of 16-4 to chris. Congratulations to both <ACN> members for being patient and good competitors. Unfortunatly for Cervatoz it's road closed.

JUDGE - TwinTurboCH

A very nice battle once it got started. A very smooth first run and corrections on corner 3, 5 & 7 from bert gave jimmy the 7-3 lead
A great, fast leading job from bert in the second run put the pressure on jimmy & despite falling a bit back & making a correction he held on well.
Bert won the second run 6-4.
So the winner with a score of 9-11 is Jimmy!

What can i say about this battle? hmm... I know, watch the video.
It is without a doubt the best tandem drifting i have ever witnessed on
a video game. It took a call of one more time and the drivers never
left each others side. drifting like this is the reason i started this tournament.
I must also mention the sportsmanship shown by everyone involved was
spectacular. After the battle the judge, competitors, a few friends and i
spent some time drifting together with awesome results.

A win in conclusive fashion to Chris. A terrible first round to Hayden gave all of the first 10 points to Chris.
2nd round was better by Hayden but it was obvious who the better drifter was on the day.

Johan showed up 1/2 an hour late due to RL accident involving a snow lake, a car & presumably some drifting...
Great first round with Robin taking the lead after Johan had a few wheels off.
Johan came back with some excellent drifting in the second which coupled with a bad spin from Robin,
and gave Johan the win

Unfortunately I only have the second run, but it's by far the best of the two.
In the first run, GTP_Seigo span on the first corner, but was consistent through the rest of track, saving him one point for a 1-9.
The second run was incredible, showing excelent control from both drivers scoring them 5-5. SKR-Kaizer wins with 14-6

An extremely close battle, with nice runs from each side. First round was 6-4 to Jimmy for some minor off tracks.
Second round was 7-3 to Jimmy, due to a couple of corrections and slight off tracks, 13-7 Jimmy is through to the next round.

(^^sorry about in-race audio it was screwed up by background TV sound and became extremely annoying^^)
Awesome first round saw scores of 7-3 to bert after wilson had a couple wheels off. 2nd run was thrown out due to a huge lead building which made judging impossible.
The first ever "ONE MORE TIME" was recorded with chase cam by me and saw another great round with bert taking it 6-4.
An important note-Just prior to the battle wilson's down shift stopped working, making him run the whole thing with no down shifts. His skill in 1 gear has pushed me to name an award after him
The resiliency award will be handed out at he end of each stage (Round 1, Quarter Final , Semi Final, Grand Final/Bronze). At the end of each tournament
someone will receive the prize of a five hundred thousand dollar car bought by me and the i9-wilson-9i Guts award for tournament #X

JUDGE - MrDinosaw94 (after the fact via video)

An unfortunate first run for Jonathan involved him coming off the track in the first corner. Sai was able to pull off a nearly perfect run setting the scores at 10-0
He started the 2nd in similar fashion. As he lead into corner 1 the angle was simply too great, resulting in his car kicking back and flinging him off the track sideways.
It was good to see Sai let him back in the lead before unfortunately for Jonathan the NSX kicked again. SAi finished with a perfect score of 20-0.

JUDGE - GODfreyGT5

A wobbly start and three wheels off lost Nathan's hopes round the first section, before tuzmy dramaticly lost pace and dropped back causing a considerable gap, which was then coupled with an off-camera 90 degree stop.
6-4 To Knight Spirit.
A correction from both drivers round the first corner put them even. Tuzmy made an un-missable mistake and lost all 5 points with an off-track. A couple of slips from Nathan into the next corner got him worried. After a couple of corrections, Tuzmy lost lots of speed round the blind uphill, causing Nathan to bump his car. As the initial mistake was from Tuzmy, it cannot loose him too many points.

Rules & regulations..

Judging
For each run the drivers will have 10 points shared out between them.
Each battle consists of two runs, one with each driver leading.

Mistakes such as wide lines or a wheel off track will deduct your share, while high angles, close tandems and good lines will increase it.
If the score after the second event is 10-10 (e.g 3-7 in first then 7-3 in second)
then the battle will be repeated.
It's not a drag race! The leader must not use full throttle off the line, as it would not give a slower car a chance to tandem, and would show no sportsmanship.

NO OVERTAKING unless leader falls off track, in which case you wait for the leader to regain his place before continuing the lap.
Four wheels off = 0-10 score to the other driver, but he must still finish the lap. If he then comes off the track the score will go to 5-5. If the driver finishes the lap without drifting it could lower their advantage over the other driver.
A considerable bump = 0-10, just as going off the track. There may be a slight touch during tandems, as long as it is minor and does not effect the other driver's line too much, it would not score you a 0-10, but may decrease your score.
The judge may decide to re-battle if the previous runs are too close to call for deciding a winner.
And most importantly,
JUDGE'S DECISION IS FINAL


Complete bracket....
GTPdrifttournament1.png

*please note Duman is not in this tournament. That name is representing SKR_Kaiser (due to pull out)

Entrants Take note: PSN name to contact for competition is: MrDinosaw94. The private room there is where the tournament will take place. If said username doesn't reply try contacting Haydenmc14. If you again get no response you can have your battle without a judge and send me the replays (if your in EU or AU) or upload to youtube (US or Asia) I will then judge the competition through the replay rather then live. If niether you or your competitor can save or upload & you can't get a hold of either MrDinosaw94 or Haydenmc14 try messaging me through GT Planet. if none of this works your absoloute last resort is FRAG-ME-CG. He should be able to organise something for you. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT FRAG-ME-CG UNLESS THEIR IS NO OTHER OPTION

Entrants Take note: I've seen a few violations to one rule in a couple of battles, waiting for a crashed driver. This rule was in place to allow the other driver to score a few points back after a mistake.
Could all drivers take note of this for round 2 to ensure an even competition.

Seems kind of complicated though you could use a bracket from this :
http://challonge.com/
Without posting a username. What are the rules? Is there car restrictions? how bout Drivetrain restrictions?
 
how do you plan to make this work with Time Zones and all

Ill be willing to join if there was more information on regulations etc.
 
I can see how this works including time zones. Though it will take cooperation between the contestants and if they are willing to submit or have a judge on a certain day.
 
I have set up a Challonge site with info on the current brackets. It will become lives when 16 participants are in

Always cool to play such good players.
 
Will Be very keen for next weeks session, hopefully mixing it up with regulations/track.

Oh, and is there a tyre restriction. It should be comfort hards only in my opinion, to stop whoever has the most grippy tyres from shooting off.

In prefer drifting in the weekend and against someone with almost the same GMT.
 
I'm interested to see how this works out. If the first one is good, I'll join the next one. I'm worried about a lack of organization.
 
Looks like I'm Judging!

Ahha joking it's fine. I can judge more than fairly, and make sure the competitors understand the rules.

Chris.
 
Ask and you shall recieve, chris. The event is still going ahead (despite some negative talk about organisation on my part.)
If we fill out the draw or not it should still be a great experience. And we will get to see some of the best drifting online, in any game, ever.
