That might be a good idea.

Given the fact that Fox & I are the only participants on the west coast and I've been clear that I'll work with whatever time is best for the majority...why would east -vs- west be necessary?

Good Idea as I kind of feel a current of more going on than just the fact that there are no collisons in this tournament (like every other one we have had without so much negative feedback about it.) I could go for this, but I would at some point like to race at least 3 races with East Coasters as to me the main idea of this is just to get together. So if you want to set a tournament for the East coasters and keep track of scores and such that tie into the tournament I am trying to get going, then I am fine with that. Or for that matter set up and mange your own tournament, then I am fine with that. But to totally have two things going East and West coast kind of defeats the whole purpose of the tournament in the first place. The reason I would like to run the rooms at the same time though is because it makes it much easier to keep track of and post results in a timely manner. I honestly don't want to have to rely on someone else to send me the results "sometime " when they get around to it.

As far as 7pm pst, that is not in stone, we can make adjustments. That was the purpose of the poll for time and day, to see what most preferred and what would work for most.

As far as the 7 laps at Nurburgring that could be adjusted to fewer laps, but I would prefer to have it run for at least a 45 minute race like the rest of them.

Also as every tournament we have run without as much objection to it be with no collisions and interest is lacking in this one the way it is set up then I welcome anyone to set up and manage a tournament to fit what they want and I will gladly step aside and withdraw this one so as not to have two at once going. I was just trying to get something going to get us together again as that was my intent in setting this up in the first place.

If one of you want to set one up I will join it if the time and day fits my schedule and probably have just as much or more fun than having the responsibility of keeping things up to date.

To be honest I feel kind of disappointed that no day or time has been set, no one else stepped up to the plate to get something going, the tournament hasn't even started, yet people that had no problem running in tournaments without collisions are already saying they want something different than what I took the time to set up and offer. PLEASE if you don't like what is being offered then you have every opportunity to set up and manage one to your liking.

As far as this tournament goes it will be run without collisions. Time and date adjustments and number of laps on Nurburging is still being ironed out. If not enough people are interested in it as is, then I have no problem withdrawing it. And I will just wait until someone else decides to step up to the plate.

All other rules are as is. Once again, PLEASE if you don't like, then I suggest one of two things.
1. Take the time and effort to set-up, present and manage a tournament to your liking. No one is stopping you.

2. Simply don't join it if you don't want to put the time and energy to set up and mange your own tournament.

Thank you.

This will give those who are not as fast of racers a chance to catch up with some of the top racers and give the top racers more of a challenge to stay there.
Right here your already making two rooms, so what is the difference in the east vs west coast idea. I mean your putting the top guys in one room and the lower of the crowd in another. Plus how are you going to handle the first night? What rankings will decide this separation?

I just had suggestions, nothing more. I didn't think that your tourny was bad or lacked anything. I just had an idea and thought I would share. Also my thinking for the whole "East vs West" was just the time difference. You have people in the middle of the country too. My idea was just to help bring everyone together, not every night though. Some couldn't make it every night. I know I am one of them. So I figured we could still enjoy this Tourny with you but earlier. On days were we can join your room at your time then we could. If I ever pissed you off by posting my thoughts on your hard work, then I'll take your advice. I'll make my own. Make it to our over all liking and if anyone has ideas to improve or disapprove it, then I will listen. Next time I will just keep my ideas to myself when it is your thread.

I just want to race. As for the collisions on/off...I don't care. If Piggy or anyone else wants to sit this one out, that's fine. My view is that Fox took the time and effort to assemble a series that he felt we'd all enjoy, so I'm here to enjoy it!
