GTPlanet H2H Drift Tournament #1 Congrats to SAi-66, final vid's added

[KPSeigo]

I get the feeling this competition is dragging itself on longer then it should lol..

Dino, it's a little more work, but it's usually best to do 1 round on 1 day, quals all the way to finals. Just for future reference.

 

[Hayden]

Yea, I'm having real problem's sorting out a couple of the times, tournament 2 will have set days I reckon

 

[TwinturboCH]

I counted it as two, because in an earlier battle, there was only one run required as a driver cracked under the pressure. You are right though... (well done quoting that BTW, the OP is pretty messy)

Cool, but even if one driver cracks and spins, you still need to run the other run, to keep things fair. What if the other driver cracks aswell

Your choice on which battles you judge, being from london, you really suit the bert vs jimmy battle as they are both around GMT. your choice tho 👍

Looks like I'm getting up at 6:30am tomorrow then LOL

 

[Hayden]

You can judge that 1 if you like 👍 they've been practicing together so you'll have a tough choice on your hands. I think our newly acquired "run 'em again" phrase may get a workout

Chase cam is only for calls of one more time. Thanks to cervatoz i can change cars in replay mode (i know i'm an idiot) So in future i will only have chase cam in a picture in picture. Ie big view of normal replay, small screen in top right with chase cam. I didn't judge that battle, Tuzmyfuz80 did. It was his call and he made it. I support his decision as he was the official on the day 👍

ahh nice idea about doing the split-screen.

MrDinosaw94 called for the "onemoretime" i judged those runs, in the video they are the ones in chase cam. what happened before in that video was out of my hands. please take note

 

[HKSD1]

appointed time for my run, Thursday 4:30pm GMT-5:00
4:37pm, not a single person in the room

EDIT: 5:04pm, still nobody

 

[Knight Spirit]

I already posted saying I wouldn't be there, pay attention...

 

[HKSD1]

I already posted saying I wouldn't be there, pay attention...

that post was 3 days ago, between then i had notification from mrdino saying 4:30pm. for you information it was just last night.

he said the original time of 7am for me and noon for you, and you wont make it cause you have school or what not.

so a new time was chosen at 4:30pm as of the pm he send me last night

i will demand a full explanation regarding this

 

[HKSD1]

this is the pm from last night, and this is the 2nd time that i had been stood up. this is not acceptable.

Due to knight_spirits request I have changed the time of your battle to 5.30pm (thursday) Your time, 10.30pm (thursday) his time, and 8.30am (Friday) my time I'f you have an issue pleas contact me ASAP

Sorry for delay

tommorow 5:30pm my time is fine

Turns out knight_spirit can't make that time wither, but he can go one hour earlier (4.30pm your time) is that still ok?

that would be very tight for me, i get off work at 4:30pm

there's no guarantee for me

hmm... I don't know, we might have to push it back to saturday

saturday is even harder for me as i already took time off last saturday.

i'll try to make it happen for tmr at 4:30pm

 

[KPSeigo]

Man wtf, if this was a normal comp sai would have won by default for showing up more then once and his opponent no where to be found.
*regardless of the situation on the other opponents behalf, there's no way a competition can be held up days on end for 1 guy.

I could never imagine re arranging times and all this just for 1 guy, first time maybe. After that sorry but that's the rules of the game, most of us are adults who do not have
the time to wait around on someone elses schedule, every weekend.

 

[Knight Spirit]

I had no reply from dino confirming any of that?!?
It's a bit late to confirm things this late, he just keeps saying time that I can't even make. The last pm I received from him simply said he was going to ask you if you could make 4:30 and was waiting for a reply.I didn't see him on or receive a message at 4:35 so I turned my ps3 off...

 

[HKSD1]

i can't expect anything from you cause i didn't pm you directly, but if mrdino is organizing this and he's not even here, there's a problem.

right now the time it's 5:30pm, and he's still not here
even if i miss took it as 4:30pm he should be here by now, but he is still no where to be found.

 

[Knight Spirit]

It appears it he's cocked up again then...

just get on gt5 right now and battle already send him the video and let him make the call after

 

[Knight Spirit]

Im off to sleep now, I have to get up at half 6!
I'm seriously pissed off by this, thinking about just quitting...

 

[Duman079]

He lives in australia and it is 05:00 ( evening ) there I think lol, he could never be online now. However I think he had to settle these things better.

i've been in the room since 4:00pm, it would have been nice if you had come into the room as well while you were on. we could have settled things right there and then

 

[HKSD1]

just get on gt5 right now and battle already send him the video and let him make the call after

i never let the server since 4:00pm
and the time right now is 5:50pm

i'm always on, i just need to get others to be on too

 

[Hayden]

I have changed the time of your battle to 10.30pm (thursday) your time, 5.30pm (thursday) SAi's time and 8.30am (Friday) my time. I did this as per your earlier request, if you can't make this time please inform me ASAP

No i can't make this time either... how about 1 hour eariler or at the weekend?

I've messaged SAi and asked if one hour earlier is OK. I want to hold the semi finals at the weekend so am trying to get the quarters done with by then

ok

I received the last message at 3.34am (after the battle was scheduled to take place). Seriously guys, please try to message me when i'll actually be awake. How's this SAi. Im going to set a concrete time, and if Knight_Spirit can't make it, too bad. I have tried negotiating it but everyone is doing something different at different times. I'm sorry about missing the time but i hadn't had a message confirming knight could even make it.

I tried my best to organise it with both of you guys.


Just have a look at that guys, 2.30am. On a weekday. I'm trying my very best to make this work, but lets be serious. The new judge xUXIOUSx will be able to help. I will get him to judge your battle as TBH our timezones just aren't compatible. Next tournament will feature set times, layed out on day 1. If you know you wont be able to make them, dont participate.

i can only participate on sundays, as that is my only day off. if that's not fine with you guys then i'm out

 

[Hayden]

How is the highlighted time for you?
If xUXIOUSx is happy to judge i can move the time back a bit (waiting on response)

would prefer not to be 6am in the morning but if that is what it takes i will do it.

i only hope other competitors to show the same kind of sportsmanship and expect no less.

I have messaged your competitor and my british judge, If he can judge this one for me i will be able to make a more suitable time. I have tried to clearly explain that this IS the time, unless my british judge can make it. in which it will only be pushed back two or three hours to suit you.

The sportsmanship you have shown has not been ignored. You are a great drifter and i wish you luck with your battle.

 

[Hayden]

Bert & jimmy are about to battle, if you want to watch add bertvw as friend ASAP

I was under the impression the battle wasn't for another four and a half hours?

Kinda sucks as I haven't got to sleep yet LOL (2:28am here now)

 

[Hayden]

We were all online so were having it in a sec.

Want me to come on? It'll take 2 minutes

 

[Hayden]

Great battle from Bert & Jimmy, despite the fact that we had it early and one of the drifters had been to a party earlier. The video has been added to the front page but to save you clicking the "first page" link, here it is

I tried the picture in picture idea so you can see both drifters at once
