|
|
Had an idea last night while dodging plates being thrown by the better half. Since we have a heap of teams how about a knockout tournament much along the lines of the FA cup. All the teams in the hat so we have 2 teams facing off over the best of 3 tracks, winner goes on to face the winners of the other ties until we have two left for the final.
Just a thought but would put up my teams if they were game  _________________

I think that's a great idea but when? I was going to a couple of saturdays but you don't do saturdays.... I think.
the other option is after the end of the season. |

After the end of the season as there is enough going on at the moment would be my thinking.

Nice idea! Could also be possible with single drivers...but have to promote some sort of team oriented thing i suppose :S |

It's just easier to do it with the teams as you can take care of six racers in one tie instead of having 3 seperate ties. It would also mean certain racers may progress further in a team than on their own. If I had to race Bboy on my own he would kick my backside 3 races on the bounce but his team might not be able to achieve more points than my team making it a more interesting event (hopefully). _________________

Might be an idea to balance the teams with this idea.
I mean who wants to show up if they know they're going to get flattened? _________________ It's not the winning, its the taking apart |

There aren't many teams that are devoid of any quick drivers, true enough 2 or 3 teams boast some quicker drivers than others but chances are the teams with the quicker drivers will get to the final anyway. It also depends on how you distribute the points from first to sixth, if a team has one extremely rapid racer and two not so rapid then the opposition with 3 decent enough racers could possibly win by taking positions 2-4 in every race if the uber racer won all three so it is reliant on all three players having to do the best they can on each team. _________________

Not exactly, was looking at the cup draw for the next round of the FA cup
It wouldn't be done in team mode but over 3 seperate tracks with pre determined points for each finisher calculated off server. _________________

We probably could make new teams for this drawn from the results of the mad laps 5 seasons. Least that way two elites couldn't get drawn together and get two team mates of varying skill, should make it more interesting and tighter that way. _________________

Dunno if anyone is still fussed about this one but I had an idea which doesn't rely on using the line ups from the current season
MAD LAPS WORLD CUP 2009
Each nation has to submit a team of 3 drivers, two nations face off over 3 tracks in points mode best of 3 wins. The total accumulated points from each round are totted up to get the country who wins.
BTW for those who don't know Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland wouldn't be competing with England as each nation (other than possibly N.I) can field a team.
What you reckon muchachos? _________________
