[Horton]

Above is my FIRST pass at the handicaps. Boat speed differences have NOT YET been taken into account.

[Horton]

Stacy Parsons is a sandbagger. We need to watch her.

[Mateo_Vargas]

My money is on Renz

[Horton]

Taking my first long look at the data

 

I think it will take 4 @ 38 to get into the head to head and 4 at 39 to be in the top 8.

 

There are 7 skiers with averages into 41 off.

[Cent]

Should be interesting event. Thanks.

[RichardDoane]

@Horton I thought this scoring was based on +/- of the a skier's 12 month ranking list average ? Because if that's the case, it's the skiers with the lower scores that have the best chance.

[AdamCord]

How does this work

[Horton]

@AdamCord Don't worry about it. I have your money. That's all that matters.

[RichardDoane]

@AdamCord let's use my score as an example (99.0) So if I get it right, and run 5 at -38 (101.0) in round 1, and hit my average of 99.0 (3 @ -38) in the second round, that would give me a +2.0 and a 0.0 when compared to my 12 month average, so then add those values, and divide by the # of rounds (2) then that makes my score a +1.0 overall. Compare everyone's delta averages after the 2 rounds, and that sets the top 16 ?

[bishop8950]

Everyone skis 2x on Saturday to qualify for 1 of 2 Finals on Sunday.

 

Final 1 is a 16 person knock out bracket where speed is irrelevant and we compete on rope length and buoy count. This year looks fun and competitive, as always.

 

Seeding for the 16 person Bracket:

- Skiers with the 8 highest scores from prelims will take seeds 1 through 8

- Skiers with the highest combined scores from rounds 1 and 2 (but not one of the 8 highest scores) will take seeds 9 through 16

 

Final 2 is for the rest of the skiers that are not in Final 1. They will all ski one more round and whoever skis the highest over their average wins.

 

More important than all the skiing, is all the social fun stuff before, during and after the event. I am looking forward to it!

[AdamCord]

Thanks @bishop8950 that is super helpful.

 

@Horton I am going to change your fin every round.

[rico]

@AdamCord I am doing this to @Horton every time I go to the lake. He may not know but he is on the LFF fin right now...

[skidawg]

@AdamCord - you won’t have to change his fin, he’s the ballofstress during his tourney-zero fun and ? skiing

[101wine]

Is Jim Williams really supposed to be a ‘61’? Ultimate sandbagged! If that’s the case I need to scratch....lol!

[Horton]

I might need to do a little editing

[bishop8950]

I believe @Horton wrote a sandbagger rule so that he can adjust anyone’s score anytime. But the more scotch you feed him, the less likely he is to do it.

[skidawg]

I have zero scores this year...????

[bishop8950]

@skidawg book a flight and bring some scotch!

[Alberto Soares]

Results?

[rico]

@Alberto Soares next week end

[rico]

I will be working on the running order tomorrow

[Horton]

@rico

@bishop8950 and I already did it. I need to make some tweaks but I'll send it to you sometime tomorrow ish

[RichardDoane]

@Alberto Soares - you should get a panda for that comment

 

@bishop - judging assignments yet ?

[bishop8950]

@RichardDoane not my job. Rob M is CJ and likely done absolutely nothing to prepare for the event.

[RichardDoane]

@bishop8950 - Ooops, I thought that since you had the answer for @AdamCord you were the grand poo-bah ! The Ghost Skier will be a fine CJ.

[brettmainer]

With Richelle’s help, he will be fine. Without her, he wouldn’t even find the lake, let alone judge.

[Horton]

@brettmainer He is chief judge so he can't actually do any judging.

[jimski]

Any info on start times

Friday and Saturday

This will be my first time there

Is there any where to eat close by ?

[Horton]

@jimski we starting at 8 SHARP even if the chief judge is not awake yet.

 

You need to go 10 minutes for food. Bell Acqua is awesome but once you are outside the gates you sort of need to lock your car doors and drive fast. There is a sketchy gas station/ liquor store close by but that is about it.

[jimski]

I better get the extra insurance on the rental

@Horton are you bringing any BOS swag to sell

[rico]

 

[Tim Vaio]

Jimski,

There is a brand new Starbucks 5 mins away. You can grab something at my house onsite if you need anything.

[jimski]

Thanks @Tim Vaio

I found it and the subway

I’m all set

[matthewbrown]

101 degrees today, will be about 42 degrees for the tourney this weekend, great timing @Horton

[jimbrake]

Collegiate Western Regionals this weekend at Tate Lake, WA - it really will be about 42 degrees. And raining. And blowing. Poor kids.

[Horton]

Going to be 70 for the Cash Prize. Brrrrrrr

[rico]

On our way

 

[RichardDoane]

 

[RichardDoane]

747 miles. Dutchstar didn’t even break a sweat.

[schroed]

It's cloudy, windy, and cold here today. Suppose to be even cooler tomorrow.

@Horton - Can we move the tournament to somewhere in Hawaii this weekend? It's suppose to be mid eighties and light winds all weekend there. You can get Smart to fly all of us form Rio Linda airport right next to the lakes to Hawaii. You should have enough $$ from the tournament fees to cover that.

[Horton]

@schroed it is 80 and sunny in Arvin today.
