Driver List

Ranking/Qualfying

Drivers will be assigned a competitor number and ranked by their first practice session. Judges will assign a score based on their observation of the first session of each practice group. The score is used internally for filling the brackets and will not be announced. Competitors that do not want to be ranked or that do not make their first practice session will be randomly seeded at the back of the brackets. Judges’ decisions on rankings are final.

Judging

The panel will consist of 3 Judges:

Chris Uhl
Lucas Dourado
Aaron Engstfeld

Judges will not communicate with each other about the battle and will write their decision on the official scoring form and hand it to the Tournament Director. Judges may vote for Competitor A, Competitor B or One More Time. The Tournament Director will tally the votes and issue the call. One more times will be issued when 2 or more Judges vote for it or 1 Judge votes for it and the other 2 Judges are a split vote between the 2 competitors. Judges’ decisions are final and cannot be protested.
