Re: Pro-Wheel Shaver XT from Max V

Bill is a friend of mine and is the inventor and patent holder of the tool and I got to play with it at his house a short while back while it was still in the testing phase, it is a great addition to the Derby Worx Tool Line (Pro Tools), it allows for precise adjustments when trimming down the tread...

Re: Ebay cars

We paint the bottoms too, and go through a lot of blocks, I think you just have to trust that a good percentage of people are honest, and ask the boy questions when dad isn't there, kind of like the old cop shows with the dark rooms and one hanging light... or maybe we just hope everyone else has a ...

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

Here is the link to the way I have things currently posted, I have not sent these to the packs yet. (this page gets little traffic) I will be finalizing everything before I notify the packs of the official rules.

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

oh boy... so much to consider... and Stan, I have no idea why I numbered them 1 and 3 accept maybe I am just as odd as the numbers... Stan, as to your first question, expanding on the best total time out of 2 races in each lane... What I mean is lets say i have a 3 lane track, each car would race in...

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

I want several things for sure..

1. Total time out of 2 races in each lane = top 3 in each division place

3. Top percentage of cars go head to head so everyone can see the winner - not be made to wait to see who's time is slower

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

I was thinking of having lane numbers in a hat and let the cubs pick them, a coin is a good idea too though, to me the DE is less complicated

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

what is a simple CPN chart? I would be willing to look at it, but I want everyone to see the clear winner by who wins and not a bunch of numbers, if that makes sense, in a double elimination if you win, and you continue to win, then you win, how is this not fair?

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

after rereading my post, I didn't mean it the way you might have taken it. Your software is not capable of running double elimination, I have access to your software, but I was just trying to point out that others do have that capability. Again, I just like to see everyone get to race, and those who...

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

I don't need software to run a double elimination, it's a simple chart. However I am aware that that software is available. Yours just isn't capable. Also, I don't know of any other way of racing all the cars fairly to get to a qualifying round, then letting them square off against each other, I thi...

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

After talking to a few people and reading what you have posted I think I am going to use Stan's 16 car double elimination chart for the top 4 cars. http://members.aol.com/StanDCmr/dechart.html the more I play it out in my head the more I like it. I figure every kid gets 6 races, that's not bad for d...

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

I forgot to clarify something, in the races for times, where each scout races twice in each lane, the top 3 (lowest) times for each scout group would then win trophies, the double elimination would be for the top 4 grand champions, 4 kids would bring home 2 trophies. We would also run a Open Class t...

Re: Scioto Valley Districts 2005

I figured, depending on the amount of entries, the top 20-30%. Double elimination in my opinion crowns a true winner if you apply the brackets correctly, I don't like a winner based on times because #1 and #2 may never meet, the top 4 will get trophies for their places...
