Inspired by the Southern Cup challenge from back in the day, I am resurrecting the idea of having a team style comp based on what state you are from.

-Competition rules/guidelines
Each driver will sign up individually, and will specify what State Team they want to represent.

Each driver will compete as they normally do, of course will not prevent you from helping people from your own state. If you feel the need to help someone from another state that is on you. At the end of the day we will run a normal top 5 finals course. When all the scores are in each driver will get points for their position like in sports on TV.

Example- Each driver is assigned points at the END of the day.
1st place- 1 point
2nd place 2 points
3rd place 3 points
4th place 4 points
.... etc..


STATE TEAMS
To qualify as your state for the title State Teams will need a minimum of 3 drivers. Scores will be based on the the states Top 5 Drivers from the state. Vacant slots may be filled by Wild Card drivers (Solo Drivers not on a Team). If no wildcard is available vacant slots will be given a DNF (Tied for last place for the day)
State Teams will be required to build their own course and judge their own course for the entire day.

Wildcard drivers are drivers that do not have enough drivers competing from their state. States with vacants slots will be assigned either wildcard or vacant slots by a name raffle on comp day before we start.


Being that this is my first big event, I will be receiving help from more experienced people to make this go as smoothly as possible and as much fun as possible for everyone, so I am hoping to make this a NATIONALS Qualifier, if the interest is there. Going to have this event on event brite, more info on that as time passes "thumbsup"

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

I Knew if i left a few states out it would get some people to chime in:twisted:

I Was expecting Texas to pipe in first though :mrgreen:

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Will see what we can do, being so soon after nats may be an issue, hopefully not. I have always wanted to go to that place, the first ecc there was before my time.

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

That's a good date because i think the water is off on the weekends that late in the month.

Awesome!!! This is sounding better and better! I invited arkansas, lets see if they chime in!

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

According to the water release schedule, Sept. 21st is the last day for recreational release.

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

By putting the burden of course building and judging on the "Teams" you should reduce your comp day stress by 75%







"thumbsup"

Ha! You know who I'm talking about!

I'm down for collective course building. It is really stressful to expect a handful of the same people to build all courses.

There needs to be an entrance fee if you plan to make this a qualifier. I started a logo for this last year when it was in the works. I need to get on my laptop and will post a pic of it.

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Re-working logo

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

I would guess pdog7. He is hard to beat with a shafts!!!

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

You know I'm in... "thumbsup"

Whaaaat!? Rojo gonna build a comp rig!?

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Dang I can't go that weekend....:evil:

Whos interested in a 1st place in 2.2p CASH PAYOUT!?!?

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Me!:mrgreen:

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Haha, I thought it was "Southern" as in Scale Rock Bouncing. :ror:

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Nope...going back to the good ol days where we CRAWL 8)

Brang it! Well find somewhere to bounce em!

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Now I will be torn as to what state to rep for :lmao: what am I saying, neither one would want me dragging them down :lmao: ;-)

GA is gonna be ready. Im going to make sure of that. Just remember this is a TEAM event. Yeah its hopefully going to be a nationals qualifier, yeah thats a big deal but if you want your state to win EVERYONE has to do good. One person cant come and win for the state like at the southern cup.

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

So let me see if I understand.

1: Finishing positions for the national qualifier aspect will be the same as a traditional comp, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd individual podium positions, the amount of nationals invites based on attendance.

2: There is a separate team aspect using combined/average scores of all the drivers from their respected states including wildcards were there are fit in.

Do I have a clue as to what's going on here or what?

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Yes...you've got it...AND the lowest cumulative score for each state wins! Not sure what is up for grabs...but if nothing else...bragging rights!

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Yes sirree you got it Chris "thumbsup" The winning team is determined by a points system given to each driver based on their finishing position at the end of the day, which of course is determined by their individual score for the day just like any other comp. The position you are in after finals will be given a number, that number is the number of points you received for your position. Like Nascar, supercross, or any other type of racing. Its just something extra to have a little fun with.

I am having a badass trophy BUILT for this. Something to do with Civil war pistols, welded steel and whatever else we can conjure up.

The WINNING state will all get a group photo at the end of the comp with the trophy and their names will get engraved on the back. Then if we have this comp next year, that state will have their names engraved on the back along with the first winner. So on and so forth.

The Team thing is all for fun, its for major bragging rights because we all love the states we comp in. IF I can swing it in the budget AFTER I have 1st 2nd and 3rd trophies done for 2.2p and Sportsman I will see what I can do for the top 3 from the winning state and what not "thumbsup"

By the way, first post is edited with the date "thumbsup"

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

There will be some $. I am just figuring the payout now according to the comp's format.
?
1- Winner take all(2.2p, that's my thing! Someone else may pony up for another class)
2- Team payout
3- 1st-2nd-3rd payout (individual scores)
4-etc....

All debatable now. Will come up with a hard plan way before comp time"thumbsup"

Re: Gettin' Southern Showdown! ~OCOEE WHITE WATER CENTER~
 

Id like the payout to be 1st place overall for the day in 2.2 pro. That way it will give everyone something to really gun for. Which will make everything else ALOT more exciting :twisted:
