Someone has to sit down and sort it all out every week. We all have jobs and families. As it works at present it's pretty self evaluating. And as Crewie rightfully says, the current system rewards commitment to the club.

When I miss a week, I know I'm not going to be in the top heat. I fully accept that and welcome the challenge of trying to get back to the top end from a lower heat.

I think the system works well as is. Yes there's the odd mismatch, but the booking in procedure and Alan's knowledge does put people in a heat pretty well matched to their ability already.
hey dave

im not saying the system doesnt work (its proven) but it could be more efficent you say some one needs to sit down and do this actualy you would but it wouldn't take any longer to do than booking in if the booking in was done straight into the computer what the systemk does as you book in it gives a drop down box to enter driver ability 0-15 you simply ad the number the driver is booked in and a ability level is created then you would click on the create heat button a job done 9 heats made from ability sorted in the correct order as it stands at present alan takes a list he ticks the drivers he then sits down with john and calls the names john then manualy enters the drivers in the pc then the pc prints the heats out. this takes twice as long to do.

again qualify format does the same it sorts the finals out just need to click to create after q is done.

dave doesn't it frustrate you that you are lapping drivers every other lap when you miss a week.

im not saying alan doesn't do a great job but we did have two random heats last wednesday and 1 the week before.

Maybe im a little to compettive but we do it to race and be the best we can be if not whats the point.
