1. 20 gate courses with dnf and dns listed above. 2. 100% points awarded one time. 3. Winch points where they may be needed, as decided by course builder. 4. +30 for any gate you cant make. And your rear tires will be put as close to the plane of the gate you could not cleae as possible. Sent from my DROIDX Last edited by skerb; 08-21-2013 at 10:23 AM. | |

Not to sound like a "naggar" but I do feel the Scale Point thing should have more strict ruling. EX#1 if you have napkins or cloth rolled into 5 sleeping bags on your truck - should be counted as 1. EX#2 More than one of the same scale item should be counted as 1 as well (coolers,tools,ropes,etc). However I do like the idea for being awarded more point for more figures in the car, would animals be included as well (EX#3 Dog inside or outside truck). Hope Im not making a commotion out of nothing, just interested to know!

I'm not sure about the animals. We use the scale calculator to add the scale items, that calculator does not have a spot for animals. However we could modify the rules to award points for animals under the functional or nonfunctional area. If there is intrest in doing so. I personally don't like the fact you get points for "dolls/drivers" I have also updated a few of the rules at the beginning, please let me know if there is an error or something needs changed/discussed.

Ya that is a good point. I also think it would be a good idea to make class 2 and class 3 courses different or at the very least change the gates to be more difficult rather than being to skinny. I would like to hear from some of the class 3 guys to see if that would be a good idea.

Word, Thanks for the clearance on that fellas. As I am not very keen on the whole action figure set in my rig as well. I was just thinking about it, didnt really do much reading before so sorry if this has already been covered!

What are we saying is the point out score on the 20 gate courses? I see that if you dnf or dns it is the point out score plus a specified amount. Sent from my DROIDX |

in my opinion on the DNF/DNS, is about the worst thing that could happen to a driver. That being said, I think the score should be +50 added to the worst score that someone recieved. In other words, if I finished the course with the worst score of -10. The guy or gal that DNF/DNS should recieve a score of +40 for that course (-10 + +50). Opinions??

I say on the DNF it should be the amount of gates not cleared x2 + 50 That way there is no mix up with the gates not progressed before time runs out.? Like a 20 gate course 20x2+50 does that make sense?

Ok my take on winching. If we go to a timed course, no penalty. The penalty will be the time it takes to use it. But if we go without a timed course, then there should be a small penalty. Opinions? Hand of GOD. I hope this is implemented. With penalty of course. More than winching but less than a gate. Opinions? |

Ex: 18 gates progressed but DNF. So you could get a score of -36+50=+14 Ex. 20 gates progressed but hit 7 gates giving a score of -40+70=30 So the person who did not Finnish would get a much lower score. With the point out at 80 you should be able eliminate that. Ex: 19 gates progressed but DNF. Score would be 80-38=+42 Last edited by cykb4117; 08-23-2013 at 12:42 PM. | ||

Just my 2 cents but i believe we should look at this whole -/+ numbering system. it seemed to cause alot of issues last comp during the score calculating. (we discussed creating a App to do this but who know when that would be finished) It makes more since to me to have something like the following. Gate Cleared 10 pts Gate Hit 1 Side 5 pts Gate Hit 2 Sides 0 pts DNS - 0 DNF - 0 The Highest Score wins.. Im sure there are issues with my thinking here but i seem that we have so many rules we cant keep them straight any more.. K.I.S.S As someone kept saying last comp, After all we are out playing with RC Cars... Last edited by twilliamson; 08-26-2013 at 08:08 AM. |

What would be the best score on a 20 gate course? -40?

It's been a while since we discussed this, but after looking at many other groups courses I'm thinking aye we should go down to two 10 gate courses. This would make judging simple as well as make the whole comp go smoother. We could keep a decent course length but use boundary a more and only have 10 gates per course. What do y'all think? |

Sounds good to me. How many people do we need to agree to make changes; 5? Looks like we have 4 onboard for that change. I have also been thinking about the 3 inch frame rule for class 2 and the front bumper width. The rules read the frame must be 3 inch's past the wheelbase.... but i think we could change that to 1 inch. This would allow anyone wanting to build a TJ/Fj/F-toy flexibility. If the wheelbase is the primary thing holding someone back. The front bumper rule also reads it must be wider than the chassis. This doesn't seem like something we need. Let me know what you guys think! |

I think the 3" frame rule keeps it more in the spirit of class 2. As does the bumper. Keeping sorrca rules helps us stay consistent as well. | |
