1. I add you to the drivers list as a New S.N.A.I.L.
2. You run the Time Trial.
3. You Private Message my GTPlanet account with your time from the time trial (no Sunday racing until this is completed).
4. I assign you to the appropriate Division, to give you the best racing possible.
5. A PSN friend request will be sent from the appropriate SNAIL_Division1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 account. That is where you race on Sunday night.

Love the pics, tcrash. 👍

Become the data director for your division

What that entails is getting/saving the replays and going through each of the races and entering the Qualifying position, Best Lap Time and Gap from the leader for each Driver in each race.

It takes me about 20 to 30 minutes for each Division. As much as I hated doing it, I've stopped entering data for the Divisions that weren't done. It was taking up too much of my time and I like to race now and again

Consider it done. I will do this for D5 when I am able to race or if people get me the replays (can that be done?).

 

[jobyone]

Any SNAILS still up I am Heading to D1 for some practice. Who Knows might even run on the Ring

Yes, we have a shared space at sugarsync.com. Esh was the administrator of that, but I don't know who is now. I'm sure we can get you access.

 

[Apmaddock]

Hiya, guys.

Complaints have been filed this week, and one of them has the potential to change the results for one of the prize winners. Please hold tight, the stewards will work on the issues and we should have final results tomorrow evening so that prizes may be chosen.

Thanks

pilmat and tcrash, thanks for posting pics!! Anyone in D1, D4, or D5 want to post some?

Cheers.

Did anyone else notice how similar a couple of shots were? What would be weirder is if tcrash hadn't seen mine before doing his (quite likely).

When do the penalties get announced? I'd like to get breaking in for the new combo

 

[kcheeb]

Excellent!

You're in D5 so all you really need to do is save the replay after each race. Then at your leisure you can review the replays and enter the numbers.

I'll check with zer05ive to see what we need to do to get you access to the public stats doc.

👍

If you're just looking to get some cash, the Seasonal Events are a good place to do that. Not usually too long and 1st place gets you some good dough for new toys

 

[Rallywagon]

If your looking for even more cash, without the least amount of effort, send me a FR, then put a bunch of your bobs up on share, I'll grind them into he ground and make you near 1 mill a driver a day. Not bad credits for very little work at all. I use a bspec grinder app on Yahoo Widgets that auto sets up and continuesly runs remote races while I'm away from home. I plan on getting back into the grind here shortly, since it seems after minus for patients and toiling I may be getting my life back! Or at least some free time.

Funny , Ive been posting pics like that for a couple of months now. What would be even weirder is that you looked at my previous picture posts before doing yours (very likely)

 

[Turbo91stdcivic]

I was not focused on Sunday races due to the fact that i had to squeeze in alot of practice for the stats race.

 

[ZohsixGT5]

You and I had a good battle going in the 2nd GT race, until I blacked out and hit the wall. By the last race of the night I am really sleepy and lose focus.

Hey S.N.A.I.L.s,

The SNAIL Results spreadsheet has been updated to include tabs for each division for the month of August (whew, just in time )

Check it out to see where you're at!

Thanks for putting that together, cheeb!

SNAILs,
Please keep in mind that only your top three scores will count towards the August championship. So if you missed a week or you had a particularly bad night, it won't hurt your final score as long as you've raced on three other Sunday nights in August.

It's also worth mentioning that winning or losing the monthly championship does not necessarily mean that you'll get promoted or relegated. It's only one of the factors we use to determine that. At the end of the day, our goal is to ensure that drivers are competing against the closest competition possible - that is what S.N.A.I.L. is all about.

Ah thank you, nice to see how close everyone is going into the final race of the month

But I noticed it shows me with 0 for the first 2 races this month, I wasn't DQ'd for something was I?

Thanks for letting me know Soren535, I'll check into it. Sometimes fat fingers get in the way. Typing skills come and go

EDIT: Fixed, fat fingers were the cause, spaces at the ends of id's don't get recognized.

By the way, the monthly total sheets are Vol's work, I just copied and changed sheet names! Some of those VLookups make my head hurt

 

[Apmaddock]

51, 55, 54… at least I'm fairly consistent.

ugh.

 

[zer05ive]

Yup, credit goes to Vol for that. He put that together for the July season, but the points totals because moot when we made our final expansion to five divisions midway through the month.

Speaking of mid-month.. I'd like to point something out about mid-month promotion and relegation of drivers. We try to avoid doing that if possible, but sometimes drivers were either assigned to the wrong division (for example their Time Trial time was not an accurate representation of their race pace), or we have to level the number of drivers in each division (for example what we did before last Sunday's races).

When a mid-month promotion occurs, drivers are not allowed to keep the points that were earned in their previous division. This is due to the fact they would most likely not have been able to score as many points had they been racing in their new/higher division. Drivers who were promoted mid-month in August (hillracing and ANFD) were both told they would not be able to keep their points and they were both okay with that and accepted their promotion anyways. Fortunately for them, they were promoted after the first week so they still had time to log three Sunday nights in their new division. 👍

On the other hand, the rules are not the same when it comes to mid-month relegation. Drivers are are relegated mid-month are allowed to keep the points earned in their previous division. This is due to the fact that those points were earned while in a higher division. Therefore, it's only fair for them to be allowed to keep their points. Please let me know if anyone has any questions about this.

Thank you for doing that. It is something I meant to get around to.

It would be much easier if they allowed some sort of symbolic dereferencing. But... blah.

No problem 👍

I've messed around with pivot tables from the consolidated data and when it's a straight forward presentation you want not a big deal. When you want to remove the lowest score, I've not had much success, yet ...

Lexus LFA for next race? =D
