Will do, thanks again! RCRacing has a shootout function for the scoring s/w, will have a look at that and let you know what we think.

You use an Excel sheet, no?

Yep

[80mac]

Who am I kidding? They're all fun regardless of format.

How does a shootout format work?

[jaike5]

That's it, Race on

[Terry Keeley]

Shootout's more fun tho, you havta RACE!

Shootout format is fun.

Terry, you can count our support. We get enough FE classes to make it worth the trip but it would be a LOT more fun if they were more populated. We'll kick the cage for ya some.

Be sure to check with Lynne too. She has a shootout shuffler all ready to go to. Pretty sure it's Excel same as ours.

Shootout format is fun. Nobody backs into a win.

Thanks again for the help and support, will do!

Terry. I am not a core council member of our club, but I am in my Dad/ Tom's pits throughout the each and every club race and Michigan cup races. Ever since we switched to IMPBA a excel sheet has been used for scoring. Every event we host the scores get posted here on the forums in the Excel Sheet format. We only used Rc racing events for Heat sheets.

Cool! Will check it out...

Good on you guys for holding a "proper" IMPBA FE Nationals!

We're going to try the shootout format for our Can-Am this year as well (shameless plug).

Even the NAMBA NAT's last year only offered a limited number of classes for FE.
I would have to of stayed there for a week to run in 4 classes.

Now this race offers me 8 classes over only three days.

Can someone point me in the direction as to where in the IMPBA rule book it states that all classes should be offered...I just scanned a few sections of it and can't find it anywhere.

It's not in the NAMBA book. I'm not sure about the IMPBA book though. Still learning that one. I didn't know what the gas, nitro, and FE directors jobs were either. Totally pissed up Chris's leg in the process on that one.

Terry

When was the last time you held a nats? People don't travel to club races like they do the nats. Tunnel made the Vegas nats in nitro and electric. I don't think you can compare your knowledge of club races to holding a Nats.

Mark

Oh I don't care about the class, I don't own a tunnel. I have the usual 4s and 6s stuff plus a T mono and T cat. I just like pestering Terry for coming out like he knows better than everybody and cut classes when all classes should be offered at a nats. Regardless of what he knows.

Mark

Wow......

Simply bizarre...

Thanks Ken. We hosted 05, 09, 14 and now in 18. We traveled to 06 and 10. So only 5 Nat's for me.

I think......"think".......stop laughing......that Tom and I have more exposure to national racing than most. We run 6 clubs races sure. On top of that we travel. Winter Warm ups, Spring Nationals, Can Am, 2 time trials, and our little Michigan Cup. That was 2017.

Sorry if I've offended you Mark. If there are FE guys getting around more than we are I'm unaware of them.

Tom and I disagreed on tunnel. I was going to include it just to avoid this exact debate. I expected it to not make though. Primarily because having traveled all over, I have an idea (of course I can't KNOW) who will gather up their gear and get here.

Honestly, I've achieved the same expectation of 1/8 scale. Because people that don't even own them love to see them run we kept it on the list. Hope they make but if they don't they don't.
