Short stories needed for "Lives on Board" book
I've been thinking about this for a few years and have finally decided to actually do it. I'm going to self-publish a book titled "Lives on Board". It will be a collection of short stories and photographs expressing the influence that skateboarding has had on our lives. You are invited to submit you...

John, I'm not talking about kids. For that level of racing I agree with you. I'm talking about high-level slalom racing. Do you really think that every middle of the pack racer is going to finish in exactly the same position at every race, thus creating a high number of ties in the ranking system? A...

In head to head racing you should not be placed higher than someone you didn't defeat. You should not be placed higher than someone who is elminated in the same round as you were. In true head to head racing, elapsed time for each racer is not even considered. The first racer across the finish line ...

Arrggghhhh... I repeat, it is unfair to use qualifying times to determine a racer's placing in head to head to racing. Example: 16 racer final JG qualifies 14th he beats JS, the 3rd fastest qualifier in round 1. JS is done for the day. JG is now in the round of eight. He races in the round of eight ...

Jad, Every other sport that I am aware of, that uses a head to head format, awards points in the manner I posted above. So there are systems that gives the same points to more than one racer.

Corky, maybe you should move to the US and become a politician. Of course you can change the status of the race, you're the one who enters the points. It would be not adding another prime status race, it would just be taking the place of the WV prime status. If this race is not awarded prime status,...
