A qualifying sheet is generated. Wouldn’t it be easier to just pair us off the ladder for R1?
Why random pair R1 of Opens? |

Nick, some OPENS in previous years were notorious for racers entering the race, making a hit and then loading up for home. This resulted in MANY bye runs. That is why D3 runs random pair first rd. Accordingly, there is not a LADDER in the free world that would give a competitor 2 straight bye runs. Since racer A had the first bye, the DD should have given the 2nd bye to the number 2 qualifier. I think even DUMBO would agree to this reasoning …LOL. !!!!! Upon further review, to open another can of worms ….I concur with Larry Hill…ie….This is (was) a PERFORMANCE class and the number one qualifier of the race IMO should have gotten the initial bye run. However, if the announcer did state the requisite of the bye run on the PA …..then so be it ….

Did anyone at Bowling Green hear an announcement about how the byes would be determined?

Since this is a problem looking for a solution,I'll offer another.
If so many people just want a grading point and then they leave anyways,just run the Division 3 National Opens like a bracket race with no heads up.No ladder.Bye to the best reaction time.No multiple byes unless everyone left already had one.And also have buybacks.lol. |
