"Builders Cup Light"

I sent a familiar car out yesterday.

Come on FOTF, drill something and send it!

What, another retread? First NASCAR and now the Builder's Cup, sounds like somebody's been too busy to build lately. At least you're entering though -winning the trophy won't mean as much if I didn't have to take you down to get it

Overconfidence . . . I like it!

Arrived Today:
Team Half Fast
Weber Cabin Racing
Rally Case racing

So, if I'm counting correctly, that's 12 cars so far. Mine should be there by Monday, and I just saw a picture of Daniel's finished paint -it's a metallic spectraflame blue '67 Camaro and fast too!!
Just waiting on AMH and FotF for our sweet 16. Plans for the trophy are nearly complete. Once I know how many cars will adorn it, I can start the actual build.

Yeah Jdc Your Right. Can'T WaitTo See What You Come Up With.

RACE HOSTS!!!!!

Please read up on double elimination tournements, and how they work/are run...etc

I just re-read this thread and there is no mention of points for this three race series.
IMO a 'points' system' needs to be decided before the racing begins.

I Would Say Since It's Double Elimination PoinS Can Be Given For Every Race That Is Won. Like 2 Points For Every Race Won. I Think It Will Keep ThE Standings Close And Keep Scoring Simple And Easy.

The problem with using that point system in Double Eliminations is that a car knocked out in the first round and making it to the Championship Round through the Loser's Bracket to finish second overall will earn more points than a car finishing first overall through the Winner's Bracket.

Ok I See that. Maybe 2 In Winners And 1 In Losers?

I'm all ears for a soulution to points for a double elimination tournement???

Here's my suggestion.
The top four in a race are a given, fifth and sixth are tied, then all other finishers receive 1 point.
We've used this system in the past without incident (when the cars were advanced as they should have been).

POINTS
DISTRIBUTION
POS-------PTS
1----------- 6
2----------- 5
3----------- 4
4----------- 3
5----------- 2
6----------- 2
others------1

Here's a link to one of the series we used this point system in:
