So guys, it's still gonna be tt, but here's the new layout.

I've taken inspiration from this year's world cup (and my original plans years ago) to make a league/knockout style tournament.

How it will work:
Group Stage
-Everyone will be randomly split into 16 groups of 5 players.
-The top players will be seeded through highscores to ensure that we don't get the 6 best players in the same group (kinda like champions league).
-Each player will 'race' every other player in the group twice. This means, with 5 in a group, everyone will race 8 times, with each tt race's times compared to one other player.
-Because of uneven numbers in each group, there will be 10 rounds and everyone will have 2 byes. I hope that makes sense for everyone.
-The winner of the tt dual will receive 3 points, the loser 0.
-For example: My first race is against mooman, and my time is 2 seconds faster,  so I get 3 points. My second race is against Snoopy, and my time is 10 seconds faster, so I get 3 points. In total I now have 6 points.
-After the 8 races, the two players with the most points will progress to the next stage.
-In the event of 2 or more players at the top of the group having the same points, a bonus round will be played, where the players with the best times will progress.

I think the biggest benefit of this is that if you have a problem in one race, say a timeout or some other bad luck, you are not immediately out of the tournament. You can still win other races to get to first or second place in the group and then progress to the knockout stage.

Knockout Stage
-After the group stage, the top 2 players from each group will be randomly drawn an opponent (probably the best idea is to draw each player who finished 1st against a player who finished 2nd in another group).
-The two players will drive a tt race, the driver with the best time progressing to the next round.

Here are examples of what I'm thinking:




Could also add something like bonus points for the best overall time every round in the group stage or something.

I'm open to ideas, as this is the first time I've written all this down.

EDIT:
Not going to update the pictures, but as I've edited above, there will be 16 groups, with 5 players in each group.

Updated the first post a little bit.

As for the vehicle votes, choose wisely! There will be 13 rounds in total, and 14 vehicles chosen. One will be a spare, in the event of a bonus round being played.

This means you will not race 2 of the 10 rounds.

Also, because I miss calculated, 2 more vehicles will need to be selected for the tourney (10 rounds in the group stages, not 8). I'll let Max choose or something, because he cares so much.

sadly we got both cheetah AND bullet, coz they are pretty similar tho, infernus got more challenging handling

Id rather see PCJ 600 than FCR , don't think we raced so much races with it.

Thats the thing which ended stupid, as you said they are similiar, would be better if one of them gets removed and stays with infernus. And maybe also better adding in that place one more Normal Car.

I think he will check who is first and second like this:

1st: pajko  18
2nd:Madmax 18

and he will check the 2 rounds that both top 2 played against eachother and will check the time difference (like goal differences in Football Group stages)

the player who has better difference will be 1st place. and so on.

What happens if:

Player 1 wins against Player 2
Player 2 wins against Player 1?

That will end up as a tie :P That is why it is better to check the time difference between them.

Sorry guys, oversight on my part.

Firstly, we will look at the duels like Makaveli said. If it is 2-0, then it's decided like that.

If it's 1-1 like in Zurrieq's example, then it can also be decided in the bonus round.

Well, you won against inzaner and inzaner won against you in the other round so it is 1-1...so play off for both of you. Tge player who will get better time will become 1st while the loser will become 2nd.

I'm next week on holidays, so most likely i cant finish the tourney.
Is it possible that the player at the third place (in this case its Scarface) can take my place, because he is just one point behind me and it wouldn't be fine, when i take his place away and i cant drive myself.
