20. Judging info - Qualifications

Each run is judged on four criterias : Speed, Line, Angle, and Impact. Only the best run counts!

Speed is the amount of speed the driver is able to carry through the entire course, not only judging the entry speed but the real overall average speed. Maximum points are awarded for high speed entry and consistent speed through the entire course.

Line is the ideal path a vehicle must take on course and is marked by inside Clipping Points and oustide Clipping Points. Inside Clipping Point are points on the course where the vehicle’s front bumper should come as close as possible to this point. Outside Clipping Points are also reference points and scored by determining how close the corner of the vehicle’s rear bumper comes to the point. We will measure this by using "electronic" Clipping Points in 2010. Scoring will be based on the results shown by the electronic Clipping Points.

Angle measures the amount of counter-steer and relative rear slip angle a driver uses through the course.

Impact is the general feel of the pass. This is the most subjective criteria and judges will look at the spectators for the most “excitement” that the driver can bring.

Drivers should be able to demonstrate full control of the car at all time. All drivers start with 100 point and receive deductions through the run if they fail to meet the strict guidelines outlined by the judges during the drivers' meeting. Each of the judges gives a score out of 100 possible points, and the scores are averaged for each lap. The highest score for each driver is the one that is counted. Spins, major under-steer or push at any point during the pass results in an automatic zero (0) score. Best qualification score will get 20 points extra at the championship!!!

21. Judging info - Twin Battle

Twin Battles are based on two runs, in 1-on-1 format, with competitors paired up based on seeding position (Top16 or Top32). The higher qualifier will lead the first run and the second led by the lower qualifier.

The critical success factor is for the lead car to be able to run the course without error while being pressured by the following car. The following car is to try and “out drive” the lead car. Driver consistency during a tandem battle is critical. Most of the time a driver loose the battle due to its own mistakes (hitting cones, going out of the track, understeer) rather than being just overpushed by the follower...

Lead Car must be able to clear the course without making any errors due to distraction or pressure by the following car.

Following Car needs to run as good as the lead car but may also put pressure on the lead driver. The following car should keep as close to the lead car as possible to gain the advantage.

Passing is an extra during twin battles. You should only pass if the lead car slow down too much or is out of the track line. Passing must be executed in a safe and professional manner. Passing must be done while in drift, without the interrupting the line of the car being passed and in the proper line. If a pass results in contact, the passing car may be penalized. Following car should be focused on drifting and pushing the leader not only focused on overtaking, this would be a MAJOR mistake and would most of the time result in the understeer of Following Car.

Collisions occur during twin battle and in the event of contact, the driver at fault will lose the battle. Judges are the only persons who will decide who is the faulty driver.

Pace Zone can be marked with a cone or comparable marker and may be placed on the starting straightaway to keep the Twin Battles fair and close together. The use of a Pace Zone will be specified during the drivers’ meeting.

Twin Scoring will be observed by the judges during the head-to-head battle. Each leg will be scored on a 10 points sharing (5-5, 6-4, 7-3), the pointing is based on the rules stated above. At the conclusion of the head-to-head battle, judges will declare a winner from three options:

1. Driver “A” wins
2. Driver “B” wins
3. One more Time

In the event there is no clear majority, a “One More Time” will be granted, and the competitors will begin another 2-run head-to-head battle. Multiple “One More Times” may be necessary to determine a winner.

All judging will be done from the judging tower. If a clipping point is not visible from the judging tower, a flag system or a spotter may be used to communicate whether a driver properly scores the clipping point.
