JOE you forget the problem the 2run tourney had.. people wen't practising... They do 1 run, record it or just remember it.. then practise that whole day long and do the 2nd run.. what happens? People who practise the most are most likely to get the most points/proceed to the next round.. And then, it's all about who put the most effort in the race to win.

1 run ftw

If multiple runs is used, the runs will be back to back without a chance for practice.

another good reason why two runs should be used is server crashes or timeouts. it's not nice losing your only turn and not being allowed a second chance

The problem is, people may record first run and stop before the finish... then alt-tab and watch video

heck u can unplug your ethernet cable and do the track over and over after you have been kicked.

many many ways to exploit it, it comes to trust.

The next run will follow right after you finish the first, there won't be time to watch a video because your 2nd run will start without you.

If you disconnect (or change mode) during a run (1st or 2nd) you won't get another run.

that doesent matter if there are two, cus if you get a timeout, then you wont be able to do your real run right?

well when we first had two runs before you were around we still had a chance to have second turn but if we are only going to have one turn and the server crashes or we get a timeout then we get no chances at all
because it's not hard to time yourself out and blame the server

i meant this, if you get a real timeout your internet cuts or even server crashes (during your 1st run) then even if there are 2 runs, you will not be able to do your real run whether its 1 or 2 tries

Yea well, as I said peole may STOP before the finish.



1 run

bad sides: if you timeout or server crashes, you're fucked.


2 runs

bad sides: if you timeout or server crashes, you're fucked ( during 1st run )
also you can just stop before finish and drive around or either record the race and alt tab and keep watching what to improve.... (during 1st run)

can't you just trust people? there's too much paranoia...

if two tries both times should count like before

I just dont see the points in 2 runs, even if you crash during 1st run you wont be able to try again... so there's no reason to have 2 runs lol?
