Online Scoring
The online pairing system has been tested and is ready to go. Currently setup will allow for:
Pairing Types:- Random Draw
This type allows for racers to enter multiple entries. When setting up rounds the system will attempt to not have racers race themselves. It will randomly set race order each round attemping to not give multiple byes to the same entry until every remaining entry has been given a bye.
- RCDR Hybrid Bracket
This type allows for racers to enter multiple entries. When setting up round one the system will attempt to not have racers race themselves. First round will be random draw, remaining rounds will be set up in same race order as round one, if there is a bye for the round, it will be randomly inserted into the order while attemping to not give the same entry multiple byes.
- Pro Bracket
This type allows for racers to enter multiple entries. Will use ladder brackets from first round until end of bracket. Entries can be qualified or can be randomly seeded. If running multiple brackets in class, the entries will be random draw after combining the multiple brackets into one.
- Manual Entry
This type allows for racers to enter multiple cars. Pairs will be set manually each round, perfect for chip draw, can also be used if you want to match pairs differently than RCDR presets.
Brackets- Classes can be set to run in one, two, four, or eight brackets. If more than one bracket is selected the max entries per racer in the class is the number of brackets. The system will separated brackets out as evenly as possible. When any one bracket reaches 1 racer remaining, all brackets will be combined and run randrom draw until completion.
Elimination Types- Classes can be set as single, double, or triple elimination. This does not work for Pro Brackets.
Buybacks (Buybacks are optional)- First round buybacks are available. Buybacks can race their way back in as the only round two entrys, or they can be thrown back into the complete bracket and everybody races in round 2.
- Second round buybacks are available. In this scenario, all buybacks and winners race in both rounds two and three.
Timing Types: Types for every level of group, from flashlight start to full port-a-tree or track-mate systems.
- Win/Loss Only
- Win/Loss with ET/RT
- Win/Loss with ET/RT/MPH
