Title: Race Format of F2000P Festivals Post by: Imposter on August 12, 2004, 09:59:25 AM How do they seed the teams in Victoria?
How can you have Kai & Capital Iron together in heat 6, when they were 1st & 6th last yr? One of these teams may be bumped to B div early. Same thing for Dragonauts & Sake (5th last yr) in heat 11 and Acme & Alpha (4th) in heat 8. I question the F2000 format - Capital Iron was sent to B division early in Nanaimo, even though they had some of the fastest times on saturday. They end up winning the B final by around 10 seconds. This format doesn't appear to be doing a good job of sorting teams.

I think it's kinda ridiculous to seed teams like Kai and Capital Iron in the same heat. Those teams should be in Platnium division regardless of the outcome on Saturday. Title: Race Format of F2000P Festivals Post by: Imposter on August 13, 2004, 12:14:12 PM The two formats aren't the same. Although I like last yr's Alcan format better, Alcan gives more opportunity for the better teams to make the A final.
You could place 2, 1, 1, 1 in your four heats in Victoria and end up winning the B final (ie: Capital Iron in Nanaimo). You do that at Alcan and you have won the comp A final. |
