I thought that I would condense the rules so that you don't have to go through the whole discussion thread to find out what to do since it keeps changing. As for now.
The rules are as Follows:
1. Must have at least one gaslog entry every 28 days.
2. Minimum fill must be 3 gallons.
3. Must record all fill ups.
4. There will be a 5% penalty to the team EPA for fills of less then 3 gallons or no fills with in 28 day.
5. Competition will be based on combined team % of EPA using the new numbers since that's what the Gaslogs will reflect.
6. Only actual fill data will be used for the official data.
7. At least two cars must be above the Mason-Dixon line.
8. Repeated failures of gaslog entries or not making minimum fill will be grounds for disqualification.
We will be using new EPA numbers so go
Here and make sure your numbers are correct.
Teams and Cars:
Teams will consist of 5 total cars. The team makeup will consist of at least one automatic, and one 4 door car. One car can fit both requirements.
Scoring;
The official stats will be posted every 28 days based on actual fill data. Weekly updates to see how it's going should be posted once a week before Monday. These should also be forwarded to the team captain so that he may send them to the official scorer. The weekly stats can be based on fills and or FE instrumentation (SG or SmID) if you have it. If you do not fill in a week just give the MPG for the tank off the SG. These numbers are just estimates because we go by actual fill data. When you record the data on the thread just list if it's actual or SG data and only one entry per week per car. If you don't have FE instrumentation then will just use what's in the gaslog for your previous % epa.
Each competition will run in 28 day blocks starting on Monday. The team at the end of 28 days with the highest gain in team % over starting EPA will be the winner. At the end of the 28 day cycle the team EPA will be rest and a new cycle will begin. This will give new teams a change to join and members to come and go on a specific team.
This is something I'm thinking about
:
At the end of the 28 day cycle the winning team will be awarded 3 points, 2nd place 2 points and 3rd place 1 point. At the end of 28 days the %EPA will be reset and the competition begins again using the new figures for each team. There will be a winter (OCT-FEB) and summer competition (MAR-SEPT). The team with the most points at the end of the series will be winner of that series.
