Hi All. we run weekly Mini-Comp's on the our server Full Retard Drift Club. details below;
As before, the judging is not biased in any way. We don't care who wins, from whichever team. We give up our Friday night to encourage good drifting and sportsmanship and credit is given where its due. I for one LOVE to see the underdogs suprise the well known crowd Mini-Comps are a great way for people to show their full potential with a guaranteed audience
You are judged on the following for Qualifying:
Points out of 100 are distributed between clipping points, speed, angle, consistency and not straightening. You get 2 runs. The score from your best run is the one we use.
Clipping point Rules:
Front clips are not to be hit. Rear clips can be clipped. Not smashed through with half your car through them. The rear of your car gracefully clips them. Most of our rear clips are marked by a blue chequered area for which you have to plant the arse of your car in.
If you smash a front clip, spin, straighten etc - you get a Big Fat Zero. (But that doesn't necessarily mean you are out of the comp! Don't rage quit!)
We then give you all 10 minutes free practice before the Twin Battles begin, so we have time to sort out who qualified and calculate the twin battle pairings.
You are judged on the Twin Battles thus:
Each run has 10 points available between the two cars. If both cars run the same - they each get 5 points for the run.
If one car spins, crashes, straightens, causes unavoidable contact - the fail car gets Big Fat Zero. The non-fail car gets 10 points.
There is then a sliding scale between the two. If one car does slightly better (ie: closer to clips, more consistent angle, speed etc) then the better car gets 6, 7, 8 or 9 points (depending on how much better they do), whilst the lesser car gets 4, 3, 2 or 1 points (again, dependent on how much worse they do).
If we simply can't decide, or both people make large mistakes on each run - the we have to go 'One More Time' which basically means the battle has to start again. But you are NOT to reset your cars/tyres. Smokey smokey slippy slidey.
Please note; If you wish to take part, please make sure you are available to compete for at least 1 - 1.5 hours. There is nothing more annoying than setting everything up then somebody drops out and ruins the Twin Battle calculations.
We don't mind spectators, the server has plenty of slots - but there is no messing around. You will get kicked (or worse) if you disrupt the Competition by un-pitting, or talking through the runs distracting the competitors.
And as I'm not doubt sure Cross will tell you through the comp - No Talking During Runs.
Hope thats covered everything, if you have any questions please post up or PM me on here.
Hope to see you Friday nights!

We keep spreadsheets throughout the Competition so that all details and runs are recorded for scoring purposes. These twin battles determine the top 3 shoot-out at the end.
There are always a minimum of 2 judges viewing from multiple angles.
