Seen this PTSD acronym a number of times and thought, Ah courine, trust she will Play The Sport Diplomatically! I'm not quite sure what you are saying, so I will leave it alone. The real point to having these races is exhibitionary. That is why there are only 10. More could have been added, but the draws were from pulled from the bunny race. It was to take the closest teams from then and let the fur fly. But when the fur flew, it flew all different ways. As there had been much change in only a month. The original concept used a few months of pre-qualifiers to stabilize the field and then offer the challenges based on pole position, just like normal motor racing. As like in all racing, the closer the match, the greater the appeal. This was the concept, but that was back when the launch data was Jan. 5. To fix, what may need to happen now is redo the prelim's a bit rather than continue with an invitational-like style. What this means is a few open challenges to dilute out the old stats and give a better chance for awareness to grow as the series progresses. ![]() ![]() I will have the new set of races, like before, when I can get some sleep. as that is my biggest problem right now, it is hard to squeeze in those 12 hr naps when my upstairs neighbor's idea is to generate as much noise as he likes. If you want to see some fur fly, just wait until they find out I know they are leaving their kids unattended that are making the noise. This should slow them down a bit. If not, the state will. I'm just trying to be "diplomatic". For if I wanted to be nasty, I could tell him why his wife is gone during the day. But then again, I'm trying to get the noise to go down, not up. hehe hehe hehehe. We will be back with "As Courine's Stomach Turns" after this brief panic attack. [courine struck by PTSD, has delusional episode. Thinks she is Robert Duval in Apocalypse Now, flips her mic on and yells over the noise] Hear that? Its the sound of CPU Fans! I love the sound of CPU fans. There is no sound like it.. It reminds me of the fight back in grid.org, where every result, every point, every hour of CPU time was met with a salute. You might think its funny, but the first thing I do everyday, as soon as my feet hit the floor, is stand and face my machines, then come to attention. My right hand rises slowly, with fingers and palm straight. My elbow bends as my right index finger touches my temple. I think for a moment of those who have fallen to our enemy. Then say "Keep up the good work and thank you for carrying on without me, during my human infirmity called sleep. As your were." You know though, I cant quite place it. That whirring? But to me, there's nothing like waking to the sound of CPU fans in the morning. It seems to sound like a call. It sounds like?... It sounds like?..... victory. You know soldier, someday this will all be over. Every work unit complete. In heaven's name, what will we do? [courine wanders off, thinking she is in a jungle] What is funny about this is not what is said, as it isn’t far from what actually happens here every morning. It is if I'm actually having an attack, I cant type. What is shown above is just my "Spirit Post". ![]() ![]() ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by courine at May 4, 2008 4:21:19 PM] |

With the new data on the teams present, we have been able to see around the current state of changes in the stats environment. This new set should prove to be a much better series. And with the new prequalifier races, the fun is really just starting.

If you want to know why my normal Jim Mckay commentary isn’t being used right now, because it’s the time needed to try to extrapolate the stats enough forward is a major energy drain. So the frills have been replaced by necessity for now. As soon as the stats issues clear, the odds making will be easier and I can get back to the promotional aspects that I enjoy writing.
----------------------------------------What is good to know now, is this isn’t a drop in the pan or fly-by-night. It’s a serious effort to provide dimension to a landscape that doesn’t know it needs it. For those in the ITCS races currently, if you have been unchallenged, you receive an automatic win. But more so, to all, you have helped beta the concept as well as get the ball rolling. Thus really helping to point the way of new logistics. Thanks! Please enroll in all WCG_SPORTS races to keep yours stats with us counting. The current PreQual series now will provide the answer for race 3 when added to the already existing contestants. Thus breaking the ground for which league play can emerge. The concept that best describes the Team Challenge system itself is “If we build it, they will come”. A message that has now rang true. So true in some cases that is has inspired the sprit of gladiators. The question is: “What are WE going to do with it?” For it is in our hands now. The best way to sell something is to prove it out first. As of now, there is no direct connection between this project and those who administer WCG. The objective of this thread is to sell WCG on not only why to have league play, but how. ![]() ![]() ![]() [Edit 2 times, last edit by courine at May 7, 2008 6:21:07 PM] |

![]() End of race! Good crunching all! With the web site being down for maintenance, production for two days was adversly affected. There was a good bounce on the last day. [Edit 5 times, last edit by Former Member at May 12, 2008 3:08:59 AM] |

Just to let you know, I just recovered from a bad DSL problem. I am lucky I didnt have to change ISP's, as the problem that took 4 days to find, it was starting to look that way.

Currently I am up to my ears in work. I need to get my systems here back in order to beable to process the stats when Geo gets back. It wont be long, but the data created by the PreQual races is showing the promiss as expected.
