You aren't eliminated. You just aren't involved in week 3's Final Race because your partner lost Game 8737272.

You're in a "double" car, meaning you and Tokle switch off who plays in the qualifier and if you win, your partner plays in the final. In Week 2, for example, you won the qualifier and Tokle played in the Final.

Next week, if Tokle wins the qualifier, you will play in the final.

after a post-race inspection was performed on your car, it was discovered you have been racing without the required restrictor plate, so you have been suspended for 5 races.

Damn pit crew. I need a better Ant Hill.

Hi All, just waiting for the last qualifier game to be completed b4 we get onto the Final of week 4.

OK, Final for week 4 have now been set-up, invites sent, good luck all

Just a suggestion, but you may want to run more than 1 race at a time. Instead of these being weekly races, they are more like monthly races. The next TPA season starts in August. This event is on pace to end sometime in the spring of 2012.

Very good point ubcman, i was considering that myself once the tourney had started & seeing how long each game could take.

Week 5 Qualifiers well under way, just one game to join the other 6 players in the Final race of the week;

1. Big Gruesome - ubcman64
2. Prof.Pat Pending - Bones2484
3. Red Max - Enormastitz
4. Rufus Ruffcut - HighlanderAttack
5. Lazy Luke - kennys777
6. Clyde - Barterer2002
7. ? either Penelope Pitstop - Tripikata or Pte.Meekley - Timminz

Week 5 qualifiers complete. Game invites for Final have been sent out.

Good Luck Every

It seems that the games are taking alot longer to complete than I have first anticipated & as the TPA season ends soon I have decided to alter the settings of spoils to Escalating in order to speed the process up.

Games for week 6 qualifiers will be sent out shortly.

Sorry for delay, busy time in RL, baby due in next 7 days, lots of organizing. PM's have been sent for week 6 qualifiers. Good luck every1.

Game invites for week 6 final have now been sent out, good luck all.

Will be creating week 7 game qualifiers in next day & hope to get remaining qualifier games set up every 3/4 days, in order to get the tourney rolling on as i am aware that the current TPA season as it were comes to a close shortly.

I hope all players are ok with this arrangement.

Thanks, family is doing well, tired, but happy

Week 8 game Qualifier invites have now been sent out, good luck to every1

Week 9 qualifiers almost finished, will post out week 10 qualifiers shortly.

has this tourney stalled?

Yes it appears to be dead. TPA Year 2 is going to have to tighten the standards on who can host.

Its somewhat of a fine line there Dan. We have tightened up the standards requiring that all TOs may not have abandoned a tournament in the past year but we have to balance that with the ideal of getting the widest variety of TOs hosting and that includes bringing in the new blood.

The other part we've done in Year 2 is split out the tournaments into 3 levels and those who have never hosted a TPA event before will be starting at a standard event which is smaller and generally faster hitting.

Some of the issues in Year 1 are growing pains, some are unavoidable as there are TOs that have abandoned CC that I would not have guessed. We're likely to continue to have to replace some of our TOs but hopefully it will be better in Year 2. I'm open to suggestions though if you have some.
