Mike is nearly always correct in my experience.

However, I think 44 is first on on bottom 1/2 of the ladder.

I will show my work (Like in 3rd Grade) ---

87 divided by 2 = 43 1/2 (arithmetic middle of Field)

44 first on bottom 1/2 of field.


Of Course I am generally Wrong! You can verify
that with my X-Wife!

I'll chime in with a simple way to figure it out... using your math John.

87 car divided by 2 = 43.5 like you stated

this means there will be 44 cars returning for 2nd round. This would make the 45 car the 1st car on the bottom half of the field...

We split the field in "half" every round so if all the top qualifiers won the entire TOP half of the field would return for round 2 and the highest qualified car not returning would be the FIRST car on the bottom half of the field...

Round up to next even number. Divide by 2 and next number is top of bottom half. 850 under or greater is mineshaft.

Wouldn't make more sense to look at the actual weather conditions rather than how many sandbaggers show up? Just a thought.

Don’t Most guys sandbag until they draw a tough heads up?

At 87 cars it's 43 we got schooled at VMP 2 weeks ago . I disagree with it but Gendora had the last word

Totally agree. I see sandbagging for ladder mineshaft decision, HP protection, first round opponent

Rule of thumb is the first car on the bottom half will run #1 or #2 qualifier if it’s an odd number. If that car isn’t -.85 then it’s not mineshaft.
