quote:Originally posted by xpl: my only question - will all 3 regional events (for US and for Europe) be held at the same time or - for example - if you dont make it at one regional event - will there be another regional somewhere else in a week or so to go to and see if you do better?
I am hoping they are all at the same time - and if so - then will nationals be on a separate weekend - or will then the regional locations hookup on dBtv or something and do remote competitions for the national winner?
Or can we expect that we will need to travel to one location for regionals - then possibly accross the nation again to do nationals - and then how do the competitors get together for the worlds?
Im assuming the remote links come in to play somewhere - just not seeing details of it here. Only curious - and wishing I were at "ring level"
The Regionals, Nationals, and Finals will all be taking place in the same venue, on the same weekend, at the same time.
The remote links will come into play once the regional bracket is over and you go right into the National bracket, and then into the World Finals Final Round.
So for example, one person in each class will end up running their car in 7 rounds as opposed to the normal 4.

Having an "airport terminal style" of tv's would be sweet to see everything that is going on.

So to compete at the "Regional" event you need to be a member and have a certified score, but NO points?
So unless you plan on being in the top 4 in the nation, you need NO points to compete at the regional event (just a certified). Just want to make sure I read that straight because I have a feeling that it will SEVERELY cut down on show attendance.
Maybe that will get a lot of people to go since they have to go to ONE show to possibly be 5th at the Regional.
Guess there will be a lot of local cars at the regionals then.

I think it would be like normal brackets. The people in the final round are 1 and 2 regardless of what their scores are, then the next group would be 3/4

Example:
US Champion 165.0 Db's vs Europe Champion 155.0
US Champion wins
The guys in the US finish with 164, 162 in the the runner ups. Do they finish 2nd or is the guy in Europe getting the second place?
In other words is this only to become a champion in that last round? Who gets 2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th,8th in the WORLD?
My understanding there is only 1 WORLD champ. That is why top US and top Euro go at it.

So all us euros that have never had to meet WF points requirements to become Euro Champ, now have to?
Crock of *****
Why?
World finals, as in the final four going head to head should be the loudest 4 with enough points.
Why do you need to meet WF points criteria to become "national/euro" champ? You dont, the rules at the start of the year never mentioned it either. If you want to bring in a rule like that, do it next year, not at the end of the season when theres not enough time for people to get the points needed.
Joke.
Competitor numbers in europe will drop.

40 points to qualify for regionals.
75 points to qualify for the Nationals and World Champ.
If you win the regionals and only came in with 65 points, you don't qualify for Nationals. ONLY those who attained the 75 points, which was the posted requirement for World Finals all along, will qualify for the Nationals and World Champ round. (we all knew it was going to either be 75 or 100, so 75 it is.)
so it is possible for the Regional Champ to not be considered for the National bracket based on a lack of points.
The above was my understanding, so unless Wayne changes it or I totally misunderstood our conversation....that's the way it is.
Overall, I think this is an AWESOME concept which will do very well.
I look forward to seeing how things unfold from here.

There has always been a points requirement for participating in the Euro Finals (although it has always been different than that of North America.) I am awaiting on this info from our European agents. You will be able to determine the points requirements by goint to the following link...

kinda what i was thinking, the euros complain about not being able to have a "world finals"
and then complain about not being able to get the same amount of points that everyone else needed to attend "world finals"

Cool...either way I'm all in. Just a quick observation though.
In an effort to maintain equipment integrity (not blow anything up) one can run twice in regionals to get a backed up score and choose to no longer compete in regionals, lose regionals but then "can" get choosen as top 4 in regionals then move on to nationals and possibly make it to world finals.
It almost seems to a world finals competitior and not to bash regional competitors, regionals is only a technicality where one must "qualify twice" to move on to nationals then world finals.
Again just an observation of a way one can reduce the risk of system failure.
In actuality you only skip one maybe two rounds if they count your qualifying score towards a backed up score requirement.

The last two years were the only times you needed either points or a certified score to attend the Euro Finals. So no, there "hasnt always been" a points requirement for the EF.
And it was a minimal amount.
