Worksop - The Players '09, Entry Form ONLINE
 

The entry form is now online for the massive 'The Players 09' 3-day Electric Off Road event to be held next month at the respected Worksop indoor facility in Nottinghamshire, UK.


Link to the PDF version of the Entry Form is HERE: http://www.oople.com/downloads/worksop/players-entryform.pdf
With a Reedy style format for the top qualifiers - live coverage by LIVERC.COM and oOple.com, along with MCDC Commentating & prizes galore - this is sure to be one of the hottest races around, certainly in Europe.

so as i understand the race goes like this £30 per class, 3 practice, 2 rounds of quali,only the top 32 go through to the next round after 2nd qualifying??what happens to people under 32nd??

You go into the "open" section instead with more qualifiers!

£30 per class if you do both, £35 for one.

Exactly. I don't think it's worded as well as it could be - but it's quite a complex system. If you make it into the Players section you'll race the REEDY style with the other top drivers. If you're a mere moral you'll do more qualifying and race 'normal' finals, A, B, C etc...

Who's entering then?

3 days racing to end the indoor season sounds good to me :D

The top 32 in each class after the first 4 rounds (best 2 from 4) will progress into the Reedy (or Players ;)) races - then 8 cars (8 car races that is) will race eachother 8 times so everyone races one another - every run is a RACE for position so should be some great racing to watch.

Everyone outside the top 32 will continue to another 4 rounds of qualifying (best 2 from 4) to determine the A,B,C etc open finals which will all be 3 legs.

Hope this makes sense :)

That is how james explained it on workshop thread,

Reading that, it sounds like 8 qualifyers and 3 finals! or 4 qualifyers and then 8 players racers if you make the top 32!

Paul

even so it sounds like the top 32 get twice as many races as the mere mortals below 32nd place,£35 for a single class?? wow,

Hope you're not doing the neo this year carl - you'd have a fit!!! :lol:

Seriously tho - I went to Pendle and broke my car early in practice, they refused to give me any cash back. So that was 5 laps of practice for a tenner - makes 'The Players' sound insane value if you ask me. :p

That's the way I understood it from James, when he & I talked about it at the last Worksop meeting. So the top 32 "Players" get 1 more run.

Sorry its my fault the schedule doesnt read particularly well, i tried to condense it for the entry form but perhaps it sounds a bit confusing now. I will try to clarify below:
and PS: Players will get 1 more race than the open thats all (15 vs 14) - and both will get cool trophies & stuff :thumbsup:.
It will run like Worksop Masters, JC Clash etc - 2wd and 4wd on same days

Friday: Booking in and three rounds of timed, heat practice. Then 2 rounds of qualifying for everyone

Saturday: Two more rounds of qualifying, at which point the top 32 in each class will move into players (or reedy) races:
This means 8 car races with drivers racing eachother 8 times (so everyone races eachother -these are all races in their own right for finishing positions), there will be 3 or 4 of the players races (dependant on time).

Open drivers will have another fresh 4 rounds of qualifying to determine A,B,C etc (best 2 of 4)

Sunday: Open finals, all 3 legged. Players races - 4 or 5 (dependant on time)

Then trophies, trophy girls etc :D

thanks for clearing it all up james,:)

Sounds good.. any european/international drivers signed up for this yet?

need to see if i can get time of work!

Current 4wd Champion Lee Martin was our first entry !

Brandon Rodhe - Kyosho USA driver and owner of LiveRC.com will be racing too :D

We're waiting on a few TOP internationals (with everything crossed :lol:)

entry will be going off tommorow, once i get home and get the cheque written out!!

Don't hate the player, hate the game :lol:

Just put my entry in the post :D

Any chance of posting the entry list periodically so we know they've arrived and if we're in? If in I want to get a cheapo travelidge room by booking early!!

Entry fee seems reasonable to me, if you do both classes it's only £10 a day, not unusual!

You racing Jimmy?

Yes, we'll give updates periodically :D

Oh by the way, Retford travelodge is currently £29/night, more hotel details etc on www.worksopraceway.com

Not sure, I think I might just be reporting on this one as i'm doing it for Racer mag as well as oOple

I booked in the Retford Markham Moor Travelodge last month, 10 miles from the track, for friday & saturday night. That was the cheapest one nearby, at £29 a night.
If i don't get in Dave, you can have that room cheap :lol:

I am not racing either as I am the official MC!!!!!
So maybe I can help you Jimmy, or you could do a bit on the mic:o:D
