Default Re: Double Bye Runs

A competition single and a Bye are two different things. What Alison is saying is that you can change some of the ladders to eliminate the multiple or three byes for a single person at one race.

Default Re: Double Bye Runs

A good example is the NHRA 33-car ladder. In this ladder, the #1 qualifier will get a bye in the first round. If the #1 qualifier is still in, he/she will also be eligible for a bye run in the fifth round.

The attachment "NHRALadder_33Car_alt" shows the 33-car ladder currently being used at NHRA events. The attachment "AltLadder_33car_alt" shows how the 33-car ladder could be setup to prevent this from occurring.

You missed the big one, you have one and two running each other before the final!

That is true, but does that matter in Stock and Super Stock? It really only causes a problem for pure heads up classes (Pro Stock, Top Fuel, etc). I suppose if the top qualifiers were all in the same class it could cause some complaints. Thoughts?

I don't see the problem.
