USR idea frozen, postponed to 2008 (after the 5th season of USC).

Why ? Not enough confirmations ?

[CTG]

No, I just recognized that I won't have time for it - but regular USC can run without problem and with less update.

[Chulk]

I like the idea! Implement it as soon as you can. And of course count me in!

[CTG]

Yes the XY vs Mark with Indy match will be cruel. Unless another Indy specialist (Dottore, Krys, AbuRaf) faces him there.

[CTG]

Damn, splitting topic fucked up the whole thing... Of course the last two post would be USL topic.

NEW CONCEPT!!!

As I cancelled USR, I decided to make a bit different weekly event. We have never had a real team contest ever. Now I offer a chance to race for eachother - without individual scoreboard.

Idea is the following: 8 pipsqueaks ---> 4 teams. Not conventional teams - pipsqueaks would be divied in two caps (WRL rankings) and selected by a draw (one from top4, one from 5-8). Every team would play with the other one twice (every pipsqueaks vs every other pipsqueaks) and collect points.

Pointsystem:

3 pts - both team members could beat their opponents
2 pts - one member wins, the other loses and their summarized result is better than the opponent's
1 pt - one member wins, the other loses and their summarized result is worse than the opponent's
0 pt - both members lose

Maybe it sounds a bit difficult, so here is a sample contest:

1 - Inavoeg
2 - Mark Nailwood
3 - Roy Wiegerinck
4 - Akoss Poo
5 - Doelloos
6 - Leo Ramone
7 - KHR
8 - Mingva

Selection by a draw (for example via YouTube): Roy & Leo, Akoss & Doelloos, Inavoeg & KHR, Nailwood & Mingva

ROUND 1

Roy vs Doelloos 1:10.55 - 1:13.40
Leo vs Akoss 1:24.90 - 1:10.80 ---> 1:1, Akoss & Doelloos have better sum time result ---> 2 pts, other team 1 pt

In round 4 Roy will play race versus Akoss, Leo versus Doelloos.

Inavoeg vs Mingva 1:10.10 - 9:54.45
KHR vs Nailwood 1:20.00 - 1:20.05 ---> 2:0, Inavoeg & KHR 3 pts, other team 0 pt

...

6 rounds, everybody played with everybody else but his teammate. No individual rankings, just teams. Do you like it?

[Krys TOFF]

Original idea. I like originality. But why only 8 pipsqueaks/4 teams ?

[BonzaiJoe]

Sounds like fun. But team-making should be well considered, maybe not just random...

[CTG]

Original idea. I like originality. But why only 8 pipsqueaks/4 teams ?

Because I guess there's no more than 8 pipsqueaks being able to race weekly...

[Chulk]

I like the randomized teams, but who will handicap players?

[CTG]

So... from now the first 8 applicants can participate. It will start at the same day with the new USC track in January.

I don't really understand your question. As I said before, randomization will be solved with draw (two caps with 4-4 little pieces of paper, draw, recorded with webcam and published on YouTube). Luck has a little role in this case but I guess first cap pipsqueaks are quite equal (possibly four of these pipsqueaks: Bonzai Joe - as a former USC champion he has the law to be first cap pipsqueak without WRL ranking, Mark, Dottore, Chulk, CTG, Duplode, Argammon, CTG), while second cap has a good balance too. What's more, teamwork will mean a lot - fast first cap pipsqueak with less sense to find tricks + good trickfinder oldie with worse WRL ranking can be a winner combination.

[Chulk]

I was asking who will decide about a pipsqueak's skill? Who says which pipsqueaks belong to cup "a" or cup "b"? Who will decide cups conformation? (This last one should have been the original question, as it's the clearest one)

I think CTG will do according to his WRL + best results achieved at USC, like he said about BJ.

Maybe I didn't understand very well. Will USR for teams start next January, while ISM will be in its topical moment? If it's so, sorry but I don't think I'll participate, I won't have enough time...
