Come on eddie! You're giving me a heart attack!!

Is it me or is this Steve guy a bit too aggressive??

Didn't he give it up in exchange for the spot in the line that got him the win?

Points are cumulative so he is still in good shape. Two wins in first round = 12 points. Eddie had 9 points I think. A7Maverick has 14.
 
The live feed was sick, great job Jordan and Kevin!

I'm vacationing...uh hem; traveling with my family and it's been tough to keep up with the coverage, but when I finally got back to my hotel I got the chance to check it out. Unfortunately the internet in our hotel is rubbish so I had to depend on my mifi card for a signal good enough to stream. Once I got on it was great.

Thanks for the coverage and great job to our GTP friends!
 
Anybody catch the points for groups 2 & 6? I missed a couple of them. Think I got everybody else though.
 
Great job on the coverage Jordan and Kevin! You guys did an awesome job! On top of everything every time! Well done guys!
 
Any mathematicians following this thread want to post a speculative points leader board? :dopey:
 
Yeah, I heard that from the feed, but didn't know if anyone was following and taking notes and had some "theories" on who placed where and what the points stats are.

After watching following the updates I really wish we had some coverage last year. It's been fun to follow all day when I've had the chance to sneak away from my not-immediate family and glance at my phone. :grumpy:

Not a mathematician but I have been keeping a spreadsheet. Missed a few of the point layouts so it will not be completely accurate and I think they said several heats are under review which may change the leaderboard some.

Was having a hard time keeping up with the recaps when they did them for the non 'cast heats. Would be nice for some point grahics before and/or after each broadcast heat. Just before the intermission feed for a minute or two.

I did have plans to go the movies tomorrow but that ain't happening now. Be sitting right here at 1pm EDT glued to the cast of the next 2 rounds. Good racing today.

At least one correction: I have 12 points with 4 2nd place finishes. I'll let you know if there are any other corrections that I hear about.
 
Guys if you're trying to follow on your Apple device and haven't done so download the Twitch TV App! It's free!

Thanks! Sheet updated and forum post too.
See the link in earlier post linking to Wardez' plee for information.
 
Thanks for the kind words about the stream, guys, this is of course the first time I've done anything like this so I'm not quite sure how everything is coming across. :lol:

I don't have control over the production side of things, but I wish we had some more data on who's racing. We don't get names until well into the qualifying rounds, and it's really hard to keep track of who is who. Those lights are also really bright so I can't see much of what's going on in the room if it's not on the screen.

Hopefully some of the kinks will be ironed out tomorrow. Thanks for watching. :)
