elonpuckhog, that would be great. I'll set it up for you. I'm sorry that I've been slow on this. And you were a great help while I was continuing.

Hey everyone, I hope to get this tourney running again tomorrow. I will be making a couple of small tweaks to the tourney. Stay tuned!

So far, none of the 10 races have been completed. Here is the status of each race so far:

1. GEICO 400 - 200 miles complete, 40 drivers remain
2. Sylvania 300 - 200 miles complete, 40 drivers remain
3. AAA 400 - Qualifying complete
4. Good Sam Club 500 - Qualifying complete
5. Bank of America 500 - Qualifying complete
6. Hollywood Casino 400 - Qualifying complete
7. Tums Fast Relief 500 - Qualifying complete
8. Texas AAA 500 - Not yet started
9. Kobalt Tools 500 - Not yet started
10. Ford Ecoboost 400 - Not yet started

The OP promised only 3 games at a time, so I will try to keep it to that as well. In order to simplify the tournament, I will be running things slightly differently. For the first two races, 40 drivers remain. We will play 8 5-player games for laps 201-300 (and 301-400 in the first race). There will be no further eliminations, however, the top two in each group will move up to the next race, while the first two players eliminated move down (for example, the winner and runner up of the 6-10 segment will move up to the 1-5 race while the first two eliminated from the 1-5 race move down). Winners of the 1-5 segment still receive their bonus points.
For the remaining races, we will play 7 6-player games (so each race will start with 42 instead of 43). It will be 6-player games throughout, and the top 2 in each segment will move up, while the bottom 2 move down. No one will be eliminated.

I think this is the best solution for everyone, and I hope to set up the 201-300 mile segments for the first 2 races this afternoon. If you would no longer care to be part of this tourney for whatever reason, please PM me and let me know.
Thanks

Last segment of the Sylvania 300 is out. Need at least two more replacements. Tai_pan PM ed me and he will replace leatherhead.

I am thinking through details of a replacement policy for this tourney in case I dont get anyone else to play.

solar will replace lucabucci.

I Pmed all of the players still in the Sylvania 300 over the weekend and received no responses. I am also in need of replacements. Therefore, the following policy is in effect for the GEICO 400 and Sylvania 300, since these two races are almost finished. For any player missing two invites (or one invite if they have not been active on the site in several days), I will replace them in the current game. MY RESULTS OBVIOUSLY WILL NOT COUNT. For simplicity, I am in the 16-20 race in the Sylvania 300 and I have been eliminated from the GEICO 400. It looks like I will have to replace 2 people in the Sylvania, so only 38 drivers will finish that race. For the races I am replacing into, I will drop all the way to the end of the pack and everyone behind me will get to move up.

The following reserve policy will be in effect for all other races. In the absence of a permanent replacement, I will randomize the list of non-qualifiers and invite them one at a time for the first segment only. After that, I will replace in as needed.

If more reserve policies need to be announced, I will announce them as needed. I will try to get additional games out later this week.

Firstly, please bear with me over the next month. It is tax time in the US, and I will be busy preparing returns. I hope to look at this tourney once a week and send out new invites once a week.

Invites for the third segment of the Geico 400 are going out tonight.

The Sylvania 300 is wrapping up and I will post the final running order next weekend.

The first segment on the AAA 400 is underway.

Invites for the first segment of the Good Sam Club 500 are going out tonight.

The bonus for moving up the most places will not be awarded as it is too difficult to calculate.

Finally, if a racer misses an invite, I will replace them for the duration of the race (as described above). They will receive no points for that race, but this will not bar them from future races.

ancessus and scootchina have missed at least 2 sets of invites. scootchina has gone MIA for sure. Not sure about ancessus. I'll be replacing them for the races currently ongoing.

generalhead missed his invites for the BOA 500 and Hollywood 400 and did not respond to PM. Therefore, he has been replaced for those two races. He is still eligible for the other races in accordance with the reserve policy.

Races are ongoing for BOA 500, Hollywood 400, AAA 400 and Good Sam Club 500.

Invites for the AAA 400 are out. For the Good Sam Club 500, laps 301-400, the last game will only have five racers. I was scheduled to be in the race twice (thanks to me being first eliminated twice) plus macfan12 has dropped out as well. IMO, the most fair thing to do is just go with five racers for this.
