I too like the gag rule partially because of the excitement of finding out about them all at once but also as I mentioned to try to keep the judges of hearing about one project more than the others. But…   Read more»

You know in roundy round racing, to keep competition fair, You are allowed to buy any other guys motorfor a certain price. Just think, if you set the price at say $1000.00, and your team only spent $500.00, and if…   Read more»

BRUCE – the poll thing crossed my mind, and I had it all hammered out… then I realized that if there were a 10 member team and they each voted, it would skew the results. Hadn’t thought of that… then…   Read more»

DOUG – that formula solves it all, at least in my mind? BRILLIANT!! as my British friends say. I really do like it.BRUCE – the poll thing crossed my mind, and I had it all hammered out… then I realized…   Read more»

This is going well. Is there any way to take a vote on who would work in a small team or as an individual? A poll on the site? With numbers, the board could get a better idea of who…   Read more»

I thought of another idea, not that I’m trying to be difficult, about how to “take care of” the singles vs. teams issue. If there were sufficient enough entrants to have two divisions it would be fairer to have individuals…   Read more»

As a contest, I think with the right “marketing”, we could get quite a few singles and teams to participate. I’m going to contact Brent McNeely sometime in the next week or so and see what kind of exposure he…   Read more»

How about 2 classes, kinda like the single shot?1) Single participant, L1 motor or smaller2) Massive amazing group project, big honkin’ motor(s) May I propose – to the Exec Committee – a “Singles” division and a “teams” division?I second this….   Read more»

I like Warren’s idea of a “Teams” division and a “Singles” division.For my part, the larger the group the harder it is to get traction. Sort of a “herding cats” thing (sorry Doug, I know you are a cat guy…   Read more»

I myself am against team efforts just for the sake that it will knock out us low budget folks. I just hate to see this become a “most money spent wins” deal like so many contests become.If teams are allowed,…   Read more»

Take it for what you will, but I like the 1xfee or 3xfee for teams idea.I just think that the builder or team should be identified for the judges, simple “solo built upscale XYZ” or “Team built upscale ABC”I myself…   Read more»

For the most part, the rules set down by Doug look to be extremely solid and will promote a great competition. Team projects were not addressed in those rules and the entry fee is one of the few aspects still…   Read more»

I think groups of two or three would probably encourage some more elaborate efforts and entice more folks into the contest at the same time. Yes it encourages some and discourages others. There are folks that could/would not participate unless…   Read more»
