Qualifying's running all day tomorrow. That's going to be different than what we would usually do because I want this first race to be a 'feeler" for participation.
I'm currently the only person allowed to host qualifying sessions, and I must be on track for every single one in order to save the replays as well so you'll all need to get to me in order to set a time. Preferably through XBL messaging, although you can feel free to post a general question here as well.
The way it'll work is that any number of people can qualify at any time by just messaging me, or joining the room I have set-up for practice. So it'll be practice, practice, " hey guys, someone wants to qualify, so every one leave the practice session so they can start" I'll set the room up for a 15:00 minute session and then ask if anyone else wants to do the qualifying session at the same time. I'll allow up to 6 people at a time, separated by at least ten second to be in one session at a time.
I'll simply write down the time, save the replay, and then add it to the qualfying spreadsheet. This qualifying "session" will be repeated through out the day, leading all the way up to 15 minutes before the race, when we'll have final qualifying times and order. I'll then instruct every one on how we're going to split the participants, if there's more than 16 (creating a B Room).
So yeah, it's one part improv. one part getting every one used to the system.
