Where you qualify is very important

[Bob Mulry]

I don't understand how people look at our sport......

In a 26 car field if #14 qualified car beats #1 qualified car in the first round then that bye in the 2nd Round goes to the #14 qualifier.....

All you have do is win your round with #1 and you get their bye run......

Seem fair to me...

Just like Al Davis said "Just win baby"

The path of least resistence will net the most gain for the least amount of work. Just like in any other game, you are given a set of rules to play by. Using them to your best advantage is the most profitable way to play. I find it amazing to hear racers complaining about others lifting at 1000ft. Attaching numbers to where you qualify is only a way to form a ladder. There will always be a number 1 and a number last. Where you are in between will determine if you are home for lunch on Sunday or very early for breakfast on Monday.

I'd love to qualify in the bottom 8 in the scenario presented. No fast cars to race heads up in the first 3 rounds! There might really be a lot of game playing then. As we have learned through the years, be careful what you wish for.

65 car field bye in the first bye into the final and there are others.

Don't forget about the certain sweet spots where you get two byes! PM me or email me about the ladder software I advertised last year. Makes life way easier..

Mr. Schwartz.... I am 100% behind you!.

ALL BYES IN THE FIRST RD!
Get down to even number for rd 2 (16, 32, or 64 cars)

In your example from post number 1....
Byes would go to 1 through 12 in rd 1
(13 vs 17, 14 vs 18, 15 vs 19, 16 vs 20)

Now... you must qualify in top 12 to get a bye
and... 16 cars (even field) are back for round 2

Me and Mike are probably the only ones that this makes sense to!

63-car field with this kind of ladder: 31 bye runs first round.

Existing 63-car ladder: total number of bye runs: 1


When trying to correct a perceived issue, beware of the unintended consequences.

$.02,

Think outside of the box Michael.... one race to make it into the 64 car field. The other 63 cars don't have to run.

Lets take a simple thing, like a qualifying ladder and complicate the sh&t out of it
...LOL!

I don't get it. How do you make a 64 car field from 63 cars?
