Qu'est-ce que c'est?

I see that the version of Bernie's I have and the one I uploaded to R4K is the 1.0 version. Even my 1.1 copy has that one. I'll see if I can find it in R4K and ZakStunts version.

Aha!  It looks like the R4K version does have Bernie's 1.1, but ZakStunts 2024 includes Bernie's 1.0.

Especially the last point is very interesting. I've always been thinking about the problem of the variable length scoreboard. It'd be good to devise a scoring system that were independent of the number of participants

I'm reproducing here an idea I've had while discussing tournament rules via PM with Victor Narl and also commenting in Telegram. This is something I'm considering for Race For Kicks, but could be useful for other competitions or events of more than one race, so I'm share it in case anybody may find it useful or would like to comment on its potential (positive or negative) effects. I'm curious about anything you have to say about it.

The idea is simply that, in a given competition of more than one race with a point system for individual race and a final season scoreboard, each pipsqueak gets their points doubled for the race in which they've achieved the most points.

The guys in Telegram have compared it to ZakStunts discarding rule, a relation I hadn't thought about. It does sound common in its way of being applied, but I think the effects are very different.

My intention is that the doubling rule will have virtually no impact on pipsqueaks that usually are in the podium or near, but for pipsqueaks that are capable of more than they usually give, but normally don't do their best because their season position is discouraging and there's no incentive, pipsqueaks typically in the middle of the scoreboard, it may be very relevant. For a pipsqueak like this, it would always make sense to put more effort in an individual race because a single result better than any other previous result in the season will pay much more and give them a chance to change their seasonal standing.

So, any comments or idea on it are appreciated

Wow!  So Stunts was distributed while it was still being, in a way, developed. It wouldn't be crazy to think there could be slight differences in the code as well, not just the data files, within snapshots of the same version at different times... but surely they made sure that replays were compatible within the same version.

Everything mentioned here is super interesting, but especially, the Bernie's differences call me to also split up the track in R4K like I did for Joe's. Victor Narl had been telling me about this too.

Hey, @Erik. This is really good... it flies, as it's independent from YouTube and we can control what's there. Thumbs up!  Are you hosting it yourself?

Ah, Big Red Racing has been one of my favourite in some years. I used to play it in LAN with my siblings. Lots of fun

Wow, it's true I'm always just above or below Leo in the scoreboard. We have a very similar level

I arrived about 20 years late, but I'm here   If any Hungarian is around, I'll be in Budapest for a couple more days. I'm leaving on the 13th. I know it's not much time to plan anything, but if it possible, let me know!
