So having both styles introduced a predetermined rule needs to be in written when the rules of eliminations were written for event.
If first round is #1 qualifier and he wins and gets second round bye then make it clear up front.
My opinion is #1 gets his bye run in second round and first round can be however you want. Random, or reaction time on last time run. Clear as mud.

Jeff, If you think we have trouble getting people to the lanes noe, give the last car in line the bye run. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA
