2005 914Cup AX Competition, Enter Here! Options

[nebreitling]

...it's finally here!

My apologies for the belated debut, as I know some of you have been sitting on scores for months now.

We had hoped to integrate 914cup more fully into the club site, but this will work for now...

To Enter the 2005 914Cup AX Competition, follow this link:

http://www.stanford.edu/~neb/914cupmain.htm

Please follow the directions there and use the email links provided -- it will make this more managable for me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Give me a few days and I'll start an official "points" thread to follow the scores!

.... and for those of you who have NO idea what i'm talking about:

914cup 2005

a virtual autocross series....

914ers are encouraged to participate in their respective autocross series, and report those times back here for a virtual, nationwide 914 autocross competition!


How it works:

Class your car. Enter an autocross in your area. Compete. Report back the event's TTOD, your fastest time of the day, your class, and some other minor bits of information. Points for your submitted times will be generated and entered into an ongoing series for 2005. At the end of the 2005 season, the best of each competitor's SIX (6) events will be tallied.

How do I sign up?

go here: http://www.stanford.edu/~neb/914cupmain.htm


Rules:

-Open to 914's only.

-4cyl, 6cyl, SBC conversions, rotary conversions, EV's, tube frame cars, and other customs are welcome to compete. Simply, the car MUST have started its life out as a 914, and retain some spirit of a 914.

-Cars will be divided by points into four (4) classes. Competitors are responsible for classing their cars themselves, and for policing each other if necessary.

-see below for classing information

-Eligible AX's

-Only submissions from an official, timed AX event run by a sanctioning body such as PCA or SCCA is eligible.
-In order to preserve competition, only AX events with a minimum of 5 total competitors will be eligible.
-if 5-10 total competitors, event points will be handicapped by .8
-if 11-15 total competitors, event points will be handicapped by .9
-if 16-20 total competitors, event points will be handicapped by .95
-if 21+ competitors, event points will not be handicapped.

-Competitors may enter and submit times from any number of AX events they wish.
-AX "training schools" are not eligible.
-If a competitor competes in multiple sanctioning bodies (e.g. PCA and SCCA), s/he must account for two seperate entries in 914cup; one for each sanctioning body. In this case, the competitor may submit his/her best series results for end-of-the-year 914cup standings.
-Only events held in 2005 will be eligible.

Eligible Submissions:

-Definition: TTOD here refers to the fastest officially-recognized run by any production-based car. This specifically excludes open-wheeled cars such as SCCA's A-mod or F-SAE classes, as well as (very rarely) some PCA Exhibition-classed cars on a case-by-case basis.

-Each competitor must submit their personal fastest official run of the day, as well as the official TTOD for the event. A score will be generated based on a ratio of the TTOD to the competitor's best time multiplied by 100.

e.g. if the TTOD is 37.286, and the competitor's best time is 41.615, then the competitor will earn 90 points for that event.
(37.286/41.615 = .895975009 * 100 = 89.59 rounded to nearest integer
= 90)

-This score will then be modified if necessary based upon total number of
entries (see above, "Eligible AX's")

-TTOD will always be 100 points, except AX events with less than 21
competitors, where TTOD will be either 95, 90, or 80 points (see above,
"Eligible AX's")

-All submissions shall be Raw Times -- not indexed (i.e. do not submit your PAX results)
-Fun runs are not accepted for a competitors best time
-All submitted times must be officially recognized by the organization that you run with.
-i.e., if a competitor disputes a time with his/her sanctioning body, s/he must nonetheless report the officially recognized time. If such a dispute is resolved in the competitor's favor, s/he may have his/ her score adjusted accordingly.


Score Keeping

-Scores will be tallied continuously throughout the autocross season.
-Scores will be reported in integer form. Only in the event of a season-tie will scores be calculated to the
n-th decimal necessary to determine a winner.


CLASSES:


Competitors must class themselves by adding the following points in tally according to their 914. Competitors may switch classes mid-season, but end of the year standings will be tallied for the highest class that competitor raced in.

Backdating (e.g. exhaust, bumpers, doors) is free.

Stock = 0-99 points
Improved = 100-249 points
Modified = 250-349 points
Super-Modified = 350+ points


Tires

Width:
205-width and under = + 0
tirewidth (for 305 and less): (2xx – 205) = penalty points
greater than 305 width = 100 penalty points.

i.e. :
205 or less = +0
215 = +10
225 = +20
235 = +30

[J P Stein]

Odd.....
There seemed to be a lot of interest in this deal back when the idea first surfaced.
Are guys signing up but not posting the fact?
This IS the official sign-up isn't it?
Do we need a stickey?

[nebreitling]

yes. this is THE official signup. we've got about 7 registered competitors so far, and about 3 score submissions...

but i figure people will register as they have scores -- i know a lot of people haven't even started their season yet.

i don't know why trekkor is waiting, though.... (maybe cause i haven't sent you those pictures?)

[Trekkor]

I'll register tonight.

I saw this cool deal this morning. Went to work. I'm home for lunch, and leaving in 8 minutes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

[nebreitling]

i;ll go ahead and put you down at 355, S-Mod. your car sounds scary...

[mike_the_man]

I'm in! I registered this morning, just didn't realize that we're supposed to post the fact. My AutoX season doesn't start till May, mind you. We still have about a foot of snow in most places, although the temps are actually above freezing, so we may see some grass and clear pavement in the near future! Time to get working on the teener and get it road worthy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
