Sorry we're late for our scheduled run. We're ready to go, are we still good being this close?
i'll ask a question every body wants to ask .
when are the results ready to be seen
Hey Eddie... I just noticed that if someone else had joined that out-qualified us both you'd have your normal #11 and I'd have my normal #19.
How about we start he numbering @ 2.
It's all in the OP, Dennis.May I ask..
So, the average time for the top 3 drivers in each team determines where to start in the first race at Fuji F?
And the result (avg result for the team) from the Fuji race determines the grid and which room each team ends up in for the Spa race?
Tournament Structure
Please note that regardless of the outcome of round 1 (Fuji), all teams and drivers will advance to round 2 (Spa).
Pre-Qualifying:
- Each team and driver must pre-qualify for the event
- Each team is then assigned a seeding based on the average of the top 3 drivers qualification times
- Drivers that fail to qualify by the deadline will start behind all qualifiers ranked by handicap. As for the team average for seeding, drivers missing the qualifying deadline will be assigned the time from the slowest driver on the team plus a 2 second penalty (only the top 3 are averaged per team so there may be no impact on the team). Basically, don't miss the deadline.
Round 1:
- Lounge Assignments: Team lounge assignment determined by qualification seed (Snaking System: e.g. 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=D, 6=C, 7=B, 8=A, 9=A, etc.)
- Starting Order: Determined by pre-qualifying fast laps for each individual driver
- Points: Sum of top 3 drivers per team (after driver handicap multiplier applied to finishing base points)
Round 2:
- Lounge Assignments: Team lounge assignment determined by points earned in round 1 (top/middle/bottom brackets)
- Starting Order: Determined by pre-qualifying fast laps for each individual driver
- Points: Sum of top 3 drivers drivers per team (after driver handicap multiplier AND bracket multiplier applied to finishing position points)
Overall Results:
- Team rankings determined by sum of points from both rounds
- Ties are unlikely due to the multipliers, but in cases of a tie:
- First tie breaker is number of wins for the team
- Second tie breaker is number of 2nd places for the team
- etc.
Without an even number of teams per lounge it's impossible to be completely fair. I wish we had 12 teams, but we had no control over that.
All the rules and formulas were decided based on seeding. All these rules were thought up and published well before any teams were final or any quali times in so there is no way any bias or favoritism was involved. Stuff just fell like it did and one more/fewer dirty lap or one more gold lap during quali could have make things completely different.
I think the rules were 100% fair even if the outcome isn't 100% perfectly balanced. I look at our lounge (#3) and think how did we end up with such a beast of a room. Two complete aliens so only one shot a podium in reality... and Small_Fryz had a bad quali and is another alien lurking at the back.
If there is a better system we'll learn from this one and modify it next time... but just remember one team cancelling and not bothering to let you know can lay all well laid out plans to rest.
Is it a coincidence that your last 2 room assignment schemes would put your team and PURE NA in the same room?
Go to bed!
Bracket Multiplier: Applied to base points for each individual driver based on round 2 bracket:
- If there are 2 lounges: Top (A) = 2.00, Bottom (B) = 1.00
- If there are 3 lounges: Top (A) = 3.00, Medium (B) = 1.75, Bottom (C) = 1.00
- If there are 4 lounges: Top (A) = 3.00, 2nd (B) = 2.10, 3rd (C) = 1.45, Bottom (D) = 1.00
I'm a little confused about this and was wondering if someone could clarify it.
My interpretation is that the winners from each lounge in round 1 will join together for round 2 and be In the (A) bracket. Any points earned in round 2 will then be tripled (with 3 lounges). The runners up from round 1 will join up in the (B) bracket and get 1.75x points in round 2 etc etc is this right?
