DriveClub - The Time Trials - THE LEAGUES
  • Happy to give it a whirl. Can we confirm who exactly is in? At the moment I'm just taking the top ten times from my friends list so we need a better system of posting our times.. maybe in the thread?

    Who'd want to be in what league and who is deffo in for another forum time trial leaderboard?

  • Count me in Bob and I would suggest the Vanarama Conference table is the right fit.
  • Cracked the 1.20 barrier ! Happy with that

  • Take the current current leaderboard, split it in half and make the bottom half League One and the top half League Two?

    Well done mate. Persistence is key.
  • For sure but when would you regulate/promote?

  • I'm up for anything on DC. Giving it a bit of a break, but only because I delved into GTAV....

  • Well done guys and thanks for organising the events Bob. Hopefully there'll be a bit more interest as the championship progresses.
  • Ok. So we're going to run a new time trial championship event.

    * - I'm going to use the games challenge system so you'll need to register your interest here and add me as a friend (SilentMcBob) so I can send out invites to only the people taking part.

    * - We'll have two leagues (fast and slow) with the demotion of the slowest and promotion of the fastest driver each week.

    * - Everyone will get the chance to pick a car and course in turn.

    * - Each trial will be open for a week.

    Looking forward to setting some times.

    I'm in. Lower league pls! Will both leagues do the same event, or different? Different seems more fun / less demoralising!
  • Happy to run one for each league.. maybe the same track but the lower league in faster cars?

    Anyother suggestions would be great at this point.

    So the list of whose in

    I didn't make the list :'(

    Yes you did.. I'll fix that.

    Are you in for the new one?
    The Forum Herald™
  • Yes, definitely.
    PSN: Its_DanDan_Ey
  • 1. I surely get a bonus multiplier for being the only entrant to match his score with his position.
    2. I'm up for this league nonsense.
    3. I'm stupid so explain to me: if challenges are weekly, and promotion/relegation is also weekly, isn't that just the same as how we've been doing it but handicapping the slowest each week by limiting how far up the overall standings they can be? (For example, I get the slowest time in week 1, so I'm in the slow league. I get the over all fastest time out of everyone in week 2, but can only be top of the slow league, and then next week I'm in the fast league.) Shouldn't promotion/relegation be monthly?
  • Also, it would make sense for the lower league to be slower cars; which are easier to control and get consistently improving times in? I could only see sense in putting the lower league in faster cars if we were all in one big table, but that would involve an insanely difficult balancing act.

    Sorry if I'm being difficult.
  • Yeah, I agree with Ad, maybe monthly promo/relegation.
    PSN: Its_DanDan_Ey
  • Ok. It's a work in progress. I don't want one drive to yo yo up and down- league adjustments every 3 weeks? 

    I'll have a think about league difference some more. It's a work in progress so I'm up for suggestions.
    The Forum Herald™
  • The shorter the turnaround the more work for you because, in fairness, all points should reset to nil each time there's a promotion/relegation point.

    To avoid two people switcheroo-ing non-stop, you could have the top and bottom two (rather than just one) of each league switching places, as the second last and second places are likely to be different more often, I think.

    I would suggest, once you have all your entrants, have an event to determine standings, then divide into two leagues. Each period will last as many weeks as there are participants in a league, so in each round everyone gets to pick a track and vehicle. At the end of the period, top two of the slow league are promoted, bottom two of the fast league are relegated.

    If you get as many as eleven or twelve participants, have three leagues, bottom having three or four. That way, the entire middle tier is replaced each round.
  • So, are we racing or what? Vroom, vroom.
  • Next week when all the entrants are in?

  • Ideally then we could do with three more people then have two leagues of 5?

    There must be a couple of new DriveClub forumites we can rope in??
