**3/10/2008 Update**
We have more drivers than we can fit into one track (which is great!). We held a chat discussion last week to get some opinions and ideas. We are going to race as teams, with team members spread out into different race lobby's. So far there are only 2 lobby's necessary. Pat will host, one, and I will host the other. I've added 1m CR to the purse, and the winning team can sort out among themselves how to split the prize.

This time around, we will be racing for points by track time. Because we may have an odd number of drivers, the best finish time for each track among the team drivers will be submitted for point placement. For example, if one driver of the teaim finishes with a time of 5:34.057, and the other with 5:28.010, the 5:28.010 will be submitted as the track time for the team. You will still be racing on a track with other drivers.

Points will be awarded _per track_ on the following scale (a simple -1pt per place):

1st 8 pts
2nd 7 pts
3rd 6 pts
4th 5 pts
5th 4 pts
6th 3 pts
7th 2 pts
8th 1 pt

Class: Up to B700 (No tuner cars. If you can't Paint the car, you can't use it)

Tournament Outline
Daddyplace.com Class B Cup - Start Date tentatively 3.22.08. Race time TBA.

Post by: redxiii on March 10, 2008, 03:31:38 PM: The 3/10 update has been done because frankly, I didn't expect this many of you daddys to want to join in! I'm thrilled to see everyone actively participating! I appreciate your patience and understanding as we tune the event. I'm learning a lot on what is to be expected and things to consider, while trying to keep it as K.I.S.S. as possible. Next time we do a series that may require teams, we'll be sure to specifiy team registration so you guys can choose and register as a team of your choice.

Post by: BigLuv on March 11, 2008, 08:32:24 AM: so placement means nottta..?
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: redxiii on March 11, 2008, 01:33:21 PM: Not this time around, although reasonably if you've got the best time, you are going to likely be up front.
Here's the problem. Because we didn't specify teams up front, we could possibly have an odd number of racers. Ideally, if we had even pairs, we could race for position and award points and add them for the team. But that will leave the odd man at a disadvantage. So we have to take the highest score out of the 2 team members and use that for points. Also, because there will be multiple rooms, there is the possiblity to have more than one first place, right? It's easier IMO to just align the teams by time.

Thanks for bearing with me--it's the first time I've put together a race like this. We'll handle things differently next time for sure. The bracket races I have planned after this is done will be much cleaner--scheduling and number of drivers won't be an issue. Regardless of the scoring, I would just like all you guys to have fun!
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: Rich M on March 11, 2008, 01:46:04 PM: I think we're all looking forward to a good time, first and foremost. And, I'm sure we're all very appreciative of the time and effort you guys have put into it, Donnie. :up:
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: Pat on March 11, 2008, 02:18:37 PM: Thanks guys. We'll make this as fun as we can without getting too serious. Fun is what its all about anywho
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: vegaskiller73 on March 11, 2008, 02:47:57 PM: How many more are needed to make even teams?
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: redxiii on March 11, 2008, 04:00:30 PM: :doh! Just one to make an odd number into an even number :biggrin:
I'd gladly change it to points by position for the team, points awarded per track, with the understanding that no shows means 0 points for that driver.
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: Pat on March 11, 2008, 04:16:18 PM: I think Magoo is joining us...only issue may be he's 8 hours or so ahead of us.

Post by: vegaskiller73 on March 11, 2008, 04:40:22 PM: Do we have set dates yet?
"Saturday Night Racing" has a nice ring to it. :rce:
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: redxiii on March 11, 2008, 04:44:34 PM: Magoo,
I have yet to set a time for the races. Unless I'm mistaken, your 11pm will be 5pm Central (GMT -6), so I would say green light at 5:30 Central. If you want to commit, we can lock you in and close registration unless we get 1 more verified team (any more than that and we'd have to open a 3rd room and that just screws every thing up.) That will give us a solid 7 teams.

Magoo,

This is too early for me. I am on the west coast and don't normally get home till about 5:00 pacific time on saturdays. I could move that up to about 4:00 pacific but I would still miss the 5:30 central start time. but could make a 6:00 central start with no practice time.
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: redxiii on March 11, 2008, 05:16:20 PM: PM me your available time on Saturday guys and include your time zone. Too much one way and it's too early. Too much the other and it's late. I'm flexible, but I have a feeling that we're going to end up excluding someone either way, but I'd like to accomodate as many as possible.
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/10/2008)
Post by: CoachRoach on March 11, 2008, 05:23:38 PM: Maybe since we might have enough drivers for two grids. One could start earlier and one later . . .

I've been in Virginia with the family for the week and am now at my mom and dads. They do have high(ish) speed internet but im not sure if ill be able to get a TV that will hook up a xbox. As of this point im doing my best to get things together so I can race. I'll do my damndest to get something together CoachRoach. Hope to see you all later. God bless.

you hear that, guys? Pat is going to be handicapped!
Seriously, don't break your back trying to make the race. We can maybe find a sub if we need to.

You guys should stop being so mean to Pat. He is really a good guy. :biggrin:

I'm sure of you practice a WHOLE bunch you MIGHT be able to beat him one day. :banghead:

Pat I wish all the luck in the world in your upcoming races. :psssst:

I wouldn't say hated. More like just worried that we can't beat him. I for one don't hate anyone.
I think I can beat him. He really isn't that fast anymore. He drives the track not the dirt. :rce:
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/21/2008)
Post by: redxiii on March 21, 2008, 09:07:05 AM: I have added one last team to the lineup. ToddS & cc0724 - Team Epsilon.
Todd & Clay are new to daddyplace, and they both have competetive cars ready.

I have dropped them both into the grids, but if you guys need to switch due to time availability, let me know.
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/21/2008)
Post by: BobChase on March 21, 2008, 12:00:56 PM: Just wondering...

We can set up these races to allow people to watch as spectators, correct?

If this is doable, I think it would be cool to watch the races you're not involved in.

Does anyone know?
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/21/2008)
Post by: Pat on March 21, 2008, 12:28:25 PM: I'm not sure..I'm going to look into that. I don't know if you can watch Live or it'd be delayed. I'll try to get on in a few to check that out, but thats an awesome idea Bob
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/21/2008)
Post by: redxiii on March 21, 2008, 12:37:03 PM: You can, I think it's the last option under multiplayer. But may only be for official tournament races. Not sure if you can locate a specific career race though. I'll be jumping in spectator if I cna though!

Post by: Pat on March 22, 2008, 10:32:35 AM: Gentlemen, I sent a message to you all on Live. Basically asking each of you to check your cars sometime today and make sure it meets the requirements for the races. They can be found on page 1 of this thread, but here's the main one we need to be sure of

Cars
Class: Up to B700 (No tuner cars. If you can't Paint the car, you can't use it)
HP: 300-400
Handling Upgrades: allowed to maximum
No Turbo Upgrades (including intercooler), no superchargers or power train swaps.

**If your car has turbo engine to begin with your fine, you just can't upgrade any turbo to the car

You may have an upgrade above in your car and not realize it, so be sure to check. Don't need to get DQ'd for a mistake. Any questions, get back with me or redxiii and we'll assist you. Thanks and good luck today

Post by: Latham99 on March 22, 2008, 11:25:02 AM: Would you mind elaborating a bit on what constitutes a powertrain swap? Are you referring to an engine replacement?
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/21/2008)
Post by: CoachRoach on March 22, 2008, 11:40:20 AM: For most cars there is an option for a powertrain swap (complete engine). This is not allowed. All other parts except turbo, supercharger and intercooler upgrades are allowed.
Title: Re: DP Class B Tournament (Updated 3/21/2008)
Post by: Pat on March 22, 2008, 12:06:59 PM: Yeah, so taking a FWD or RWD car and swapping it to an AWD car is not allowed, and vice versa.

If I crashed anyone, beleive me it really was out of my hands.
I just wish the system wasn't meesed up on the 2nd week. Points would have been very different.LOL
Conrates to PatATC and Roach. You guys drove like champs and deserve the win.

Next series, we need to have time trials to be able to group guys together, that is if we have teams again. If not then change up the grids for every race. This should allow for different point distribution.

Anyway, When's the next one?! :rce:
BTW, I won't be left at the starting line anymore!LOL
