Team Tournament

Stroller Thursday, 10/23/2014

This is the tournament I wish to start in late march of 2015.  It will be a tournament involving 2 teams scoring as one team.  This means we need an even number of teams.  After everyone enters the tournament I will add my Grandson the Romanator if necessary to make an even number of teams.  I will run a race of all the teams.  This will determine who teams up with who in subsequent races.  The winner of the qualifying race will then team up with last place team.  The second place team will team up with the second to last place team,  3rd place team teams up with the third to last placed team and so forth till all the teams are set. Ties between teams will be settled by a run off.  In the end these new combined teams will race together and combine their scores in each venue to determine the overall winner(s).  The types of cars to be run is still up for discussion.  Like I said before all cars will need to be rivet drilled custom modifieds no matter what type we decide on.  Once the teams are decided I would like the two teams to decide what the new combined team is called for racing purposes.  There is plenty of time for discussion so let's hear what you think......Stroller

Just my $0.02 ...Because it takes so many passes to place all the cars in the bracket...  Maybe have a host with a timer time the cars, both lanes, [2 cars at a time] take an average of the 2 passes and set the team's partners by their averaged times...1 and 16 etc....Instead of 1 vs. 16...

 Who were once Foes will now be Joes !


  • That sounds reasonable. Would like to run the first venue unless I get a timer by then? — Stroller

Awesome, Stroller! Sign me up!

I agree with Smitty...maybe time the cars and match the fastest and slowest..the 2nd fastest with the 2nd slowest, etc.

Maybe the cars could be Convertibles? Can-Am? Or maybe the cars could all be of one model (all Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes?)...just throwing out suggestions.

I can host, if you are looking for hosts!

I'd say allow any cars (within the set weight limit); you gotta admit, it would be funny to see (if it happened) a stock FOTF Johnny Lightning paired up with a 300X modified Sloppy Jalopy Hot Rod.  However you go about it, follow up with this--it's a good idea.
