GTP_WRS New Drivers and Promotions

[AspecBob]

Your 3.984 won't count (positive handicap). Now, like Eggstor mentioned, the computation would be

(3.984 x 4 + 3.204) / 5 = 3.828

BUT: this is true only in the long run, when you have at least 4 events behind you. Since this is your first event, I believe (I could be wrong) that the computation would be rather

(3.984 x 2 + 3.204) / 3 = 3.724

since the qualifier has a weight of 2 (I think). So, in either case, it's not enough to get you into D3 silver (cutoff is 3.667), but the latter case would bring you pretty close.

Put down the slide rules and pen protectors, guys. This thread is for new guys and guys who got promoted. Welcome and congrats to all.

Roger that.

But is there a more appropriate thead to understand this? Just trying to understand why a .2xx followed by a -.5xx is worse than the original when the net is -.3xx.

I don't want to bog down the wrong thread with this, but I need to understand how it works. If the rules aren't transparent, I'll waste no more time here.

 

[Gravitron]

The Registry Discussion thread, but its not 100% transparent and it doesn't need to be, down to the thousandth. The formulas need adjustment along the way when you have PD throwing curveballs and events of varying diffculty. Just put in your best efforts, work on improving, and the promotions will follow.

Hey, I only do slide rules .

Is it possible that my promotion is not processed in the Leaderboards? I still see the silver icon instead of the golden one...
Please correct me if i'm wrong...

I think it will be updated once you post new split times.

 

[GT_COL]

Congrats @GT_COL and @Napalm_LT for moving up to D2 where you really belong.
And Darren, I'm pretty sure you won't stay in D3 for much longer either.

Thank you.
I am going to have to try really hard now to keep up with you.

 

[mistersafeway]

I'm confused. You have me at 3.204, but I'm still D3 Bronze?

Wow, I wish I hadn't submitted last week's crappy BRZ/Ring replay :/

To add to what you've already been told, you need to have three verified submissions before you'll be eligible for promotion, and then you'll be promoted a week after the third result if your handicap has improved enough.

Sorry for the additional sort of off topic post, everyone.

 

[ollie57]

Congrats to all the promotees.. ESP @mr_lab_rat You got to silver before me..

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Yeah, I'm not sure how that happened. A month ago I felt out of place in D2 but I'm starting to think I actually belong here
Thanks

 

[Gameratwork99]

Just noticed this now. I'm really pleased to be in D3 Gold. Hopefully I can keep pushing for D2

Wow, wasn't expecting that, not already anyway. You know I'll take it though, hell yeah. Just one step away, one more step from the promise land and to be rubbing elbows with my idols, the ones I look up to each week, just WOW. Thanks Brandon and Andrew for the kind words, appreciate it.

Time to update the sig.

 

[mike_gt3]

Congrats to all promotees!! Jonjig it was about time you left us real division 3 drivers have one go our way

I'm gonna give you a little more company / competition in Division 3 as soon as the registry reopens. I've run the last few TT in the shadows and I've been eerily close to Roesza...about 0.02 behind in the AMG and 0.01 ahead in the alpine. If I recall correctly, there may have been a full 10th between us on the Nurb 24!

[RoeszaGT]

@roamer2629 it won't be me i'm still D3S but working hard to earn the D3Gold status.
It's great fun to do.
@alexamenos That's pretty evenly matched hopefully we can welcome you in the next few weeks in de TT's

You would ve surprised. I felt the same way couple of months ago when they kicked me out of D3.
While I had to say goodbye to podiums I set some goals for myself to stay motivated.
For example:
1. Finish better than last in D2
2. Beat the fastest D3 times
3. Get a negative handicap
4. Be the fastest of D2B
5. Move up to D2S

 

[Xelyno]

Congrats to the promotees. 👍

Congrats, sir. Without you around I'd have had a Gold and Silver the last two weeks. So, good riddance.
