Leo,
Wait a minute. Dave P. Has a point.

Now, so far no rules have been setup for that conflict. A new rule is in effect now. You must start fresh. All you have to do is simply create a new game file on your GBA. I trust all of you to do this. This is so you won't be able to use the game times you have already earned. Thanks for bringing that up. I forgot about that. You may not use your GBA times that youve done, partially due to you having a new game file. However, to compensate for the inconvience, you are PROHIBITED from using the times from SA/C '03. In other words: Start fresh, and keep SA/C '03 times away from GBA and vice versa.

So let me get this straight.
You have to send in 42 times a week for 8 weeks?!

If so don't you think that'll a little bit much?
Maybe you could drop lap times and the FC & JV (because people use them all the time anyway).

For ten weeks. Its not that hard. Besides, you will learn more about the vehicles. Also, Each vehicle must be used a particular week, and the tournament is designed to be challenging. You can do 42 records a week if you start over with a new file.

ok, for this to be trully a competition i think that the times submited should be kept a secret so whenever other people look at your times on the message board they wont be trying to beat them.... it should be a surprise thing when the final results come out.. not an obvious thing.
also why cant u use your SA/C times on your personal records post kort? in case someone does set a personal best i dont see why cant they post it on our site later on... duh!
sounds fair enough? if you dont agree on the submission of times i just said, i'm just gona go ahead and post all my times at 9:55am est on friday then

later

Leo's right, that makes no sense. If you set a PR while racing for SA/C times, there's no reason that it shouldn't count for FZC. That rule would actually DISCOURAGE participation in SA/C. But Leo ...

I don't agree with this point of view either. While I wouldn't make a rule for OR against an individual doing this, I believe that the concept of withholding times is generally dangerous.

Consider this example, Leo ... when you and Nick post over and over throughout the week with your new FZMV PRs, we see the pattern of hard work and the improvement that goes along with it. Now if you were to hold back those times until the end of the week, or worse yet four weeks or even four MONTHS of playing, your credibility would be much less once you appeaed here with what would seem to everyone else to be radical improvements.

So you do what you feel is best for you personally, but I feel we shouldn't make rules regarding holding back times. I will say this ... I encourage players to submit times once per day if they set new times that day. To me that is in the best spirit of competition. May the fastest player win!

err. Lets see here.

You for week one would get 168 points, because you were not there for week one, but you would only get penalized 126 points each for weeks 2 and 3 because if you were in the tournament, but not participating, you would be tied for third with Greg and Leo. Week four you would only get 84 points, because if you were there, you would tie for second because Leo, Ryan, and Greg did not play. So, that comes out to..... 504 points. However, it is still possible to play in the tournament, and get first place, provided you have times that can deal serious damage. Also, you got to rely on your competition not playing like they should, but for a high ranked player like you, I think you can still win.

Quote:
Nick Harsh continues to WOW people with his lead, having 37 1st Place Finishes. Ryan Jenning had the time of his life thus far, with five 1st Place Finishes, and is now becoming a serious competitior in SA/C '03. With the next update being the Wind Walker, the field is even more going to be constantly rattled and changed due to the Wind Walker having excellent cornering and lap times.

Point Values for the J.B. Crystal:
1st Place: Nick Harsh, 47 Points
2nd Place: Ryan Jenning, 80 Points ( 33 Point Deficit)
Tied for Third Place:
Gregory Tiaiba and Leandro Ribeiro: Both with 168 Points (88 point Deficit)


Ryan should have got 79 points for that week since 37 2nd place finishes is 74 points, add that to his 5 1st place finishes gives 79 points.

The overal table should be:

1st PLACE: NICK HARSH: 246 POINTS
2nd PLACE: GREGORY TIAIBA: 405 POINTS
3rd PLACE: RYAN JENNING: 408 POINTS
4th PLACE: LEANDRO RIBEIRO: 412 POINTS

you know, that is very correct. I did miscalculate by a point. I guess I will have to ask dave to take one point off of Ryans score for the JBC score and the overall scores for weeks 3 and 4.
