Introducing the Extreme Sound Productions (ESP) Challenge to the Midwest.
I am proud to be able to offer an added twist and bit of excitement to the already fun and exciting sport of SPL competitons.
I have devised a points accruement format in conjunction with sanctioned Bass Race and dB Drag Racing events. The object of this points system is to accrue as many points as possible during the season to get an invite to the year end Finale which the top 20 Bass Racers will be invited to compete for a nice cash prize and trophies. At the Finale, cash prizes may reach $500 or more. There will be no more than 10 official events in 2010 and you may compete in as many as you like. The more you attend the better your chances are. There will be a cash prize ($50 minimum) at each event for the Best Bass Racer accumulating the most points. ___________________________________________________________
There are a several methods to getting points and they are as follows:
The first way is to place as high as possible in your respective class.(The higher the better) For example:
If you do not make it into the Bass Race elimination brackets, you will not receive any points for the event. You must be in the top 8 to receive some amount of points.
The second way is by choosing a class that has the most competitors in it. (The more the better) For example:
8+ people = 8 pts 7 people = 7 pts 6 people = 6 pts 5 people = 5 pts 1-4 people = 4 pts ___________________________________________________________
The third way is by being as consistant as possible with the highest average. The average will be obtained by averaging all of your WINNING scores including your qualifying round and all of your elimination rounds (max 4 scores possible). For example:
Qualifying round 139.8 1st Quarter final elimination round 139.7 2nd Semi final elimination round 139.9 3rd Final elimination round 139.8
Total them together and your average score would be 139.8. The average score will be rounded up to the next highest tenth. Ie. 139.75 would then be rounded up to a 139.8. A rounded up score to a .9 will get 9 points. A set of actual perfect .9 scores will get 10 points. Points will be awarded as follows.
The fifth and final way is by simply participating in the dB Drag Racing event in conjunction with the Bass Race event at the same show. You will receive 2 pts for doing so. You do not need to participate in the dB Drag event to obtain points towards the accummulative total for the season. ___________________________________________________________
Lastly, in a tie break situation for the ESP Challenge points at the event, it will be broken by one or more of the methods until decided:
1st The competitors highest overall average of the Bass Race scores from the event not rounded (actual average)regardless of the amount of rounds ran.
2nd The competitor with the most highest scores in their Bass Race class. Advancing farther through the rounds does give you an advantage because there are more scores to consider. For example:
Competitor #1 (average score of 139.8) 139.9 139.9 139.7 139.7
Competitor #2 (average score of 139.8) 139.9 139.8 139.8 139.7
Competitor #1 advances with (2) 139.9s as competior #2 only has (1) 139.9.
3rd The competitor the has the highest Bass Race scores in the latest rounds going from the end back to the beginning. For example:
Competitor #1 4th round 139.9 tie 3rd round 139.9 winner with a .9 2nd round 139.7 1st round 139.7
Competitor #2 4th round 139.9 tie 3rd round 139.8 loser with a .8 2nd round 139.8 1st round 139.7
This should alleviate all tie break situations. ___________________________________________________________
So ultimately, by picking a class that has the most competitors, finishing well, maintaining a high average throughout the entire event, picking the highest level of class within your vehicles capability and finally participating in the dB Drag event. Good luck and I hope to see you in the lanes. __________________________________________________________
There will be a second twist and incentive program starting up for the 2010 season. This will be aimed towards the dB Drag side of competition which should spark some interest since the Bass Race crowd now has the ESP Challenge. This new "cash back" format will be offered at all official ESP Challenge events.
This will not be like the traditional ESP Challenge where you are accumulating points towards the season end Finale.
This will hopefully bring out more dB Drag competitors and from a greater distance. The object of this new format is to gain as many points at one single event as possible to win a cash back prize. _________________________________________________________
The is the way this will work. Firstly, there will be two main divisions/groups to have a chance to win cash back at the event. Using the dB Drag classes, the first group will consist of Street Stock, Street A, Street B and Street C. The second group will consist of Street Max, SS No Wall, SS 1-2, SS 3-4 and SS 5+. Each will have a chance to win the cash back. _________________________________________________________
The way you accumulate points is:
1st, by using your highest WINNING score at the event, find out where that score would rank among the current Certified scores posted on the dB Drag Racing website. I will bring a copy of the most up to date Certified scores for all classes as posted on the Friday before the event in question.
Points will be calulated by inverting the rank from 1st thru 15th. So 1st place rank would get 15pts. 15th place rank would get 1pt. Use the list below.
2nd, by averaging all of your WINNING scores at the event and comparing that average to your highest winning score. There must be at least 2 scores used to find an average. At a minimum, your qualifying score will be used and then(in this order): Firstly, your final round score(if only 2 competitors total are in your class). Secondly, your bye run score(if there is no one else in your class). Lastly, your first losing score (because you would not have a second winning score). The goal here is to be consistant throughout the entire event in every round. This proves both competitor and system reliability in the lanes at all times. No one likes to see "sandbagging" anyways. Lol.
Points are as follows: you will LOSE 1pt for every .1db differing between your highest winning score and your calculated average. _________________________________________________________
3rd, advance as far as you can through the elimination rounds. Points are as follows:
1pt Quarterfinal round 2pts Semifinal round 3pts Final round
You can only receive one point amount(either 1, 2 or 3pts). _________________________________________________________
A perfect score for the event would be 18 points.
15 points for a #1 ranking score.
0 point deduction for a perfect 0db differential between your highest winning score and your calculated average.
3 points for making it to the final round of eliminations. __________________________________________________________
So, by being loud, consistant and enduring throughout the rounds...you can rise to the top and take home some cash. The minimum cash back payout will be your dB Drag entry fee. The more people that enter, the more that will be able to be paid back. __________________________________________________________
More details TBA _________________________________________________________
Stay tuned for the list of official events for 2010. ___________________________________________________________
