Just to hammer it home, start from the Sports tracks people!

And rexsu v. mailman is an interesting tie, given that there were just 300 points between them in the Super League round...

rexsu · 27 December 2009, 05:08

I expected a quiet round and boom, I face Mailman

Some players should be happy with this draw

Good luck to all !

mailman · 27 December 2009, 09:47

I wonder how drawing looked like

Well, this is taken from the rules over at Lemon and would be an explanation:

Just wonder why this part was missing in the EAB-rule-thread...

Graham Humphrey · 27 December 2009, 11:16

The Lemon thread is wrong. Check out the rules thread here.

So it was all random. Then I have to say: "Phew!"

But it's sad that either mailman or rexsu won't reach the semifinals...

mailman · 27 December 2009, 12:09

I must say that choosing Sports as the first world will reduce huge scores. Your car is not fast enough to lap three or four cars. Still, it is possible to lap two of them.

My first attempt. I could have done better on some tracks.

307,600

Funny thing is that my very last score from ATR round (and lap times) were not saved! I have them on my cell phone but they are not saved. I must have reset the machine instead of quitting the game (which I normally don't do) or that's because of the power failures I had that time (In the middle of September I had some days off and some electricians were fixing something in my neighbourhood).

Must have missed that ages ago. Fixed now.

Graham Humphrey · 27 December 2009, 13:51

Just purely out of curiosity, I did the draw based on the rules previously found in the Lemon thread and it would have come out like this:

John v Graham

jPV v Shawn

mipe v Parpala

rexsu v mailman

So rexsu and mailman would have played each other anyway.

Graham Humphrey · 27 December 2009, 16:19

First score. Rubbish.

24,900

Don't panic. I made 3 games and lost... quickly

We must learn these new circuits

I think the time will be the key to this round !

Big advantage for mailman here as he knows every course of this game inside out.

I hadn't thought of that

Perhaps a premonition?

300K is a top score.
I lost in alien world and I made only 216,400 !
It will be a big challenge

Maybe, but 216k already on Monday is extraordinary.

It will get very close between you two.

rexsu · 28 December 2009, 21:24

Thank you

Sometimes I surprise myself

I hope it will be a nice battle for other duels too

Attention all those who have already played !
Scores with this way will be lower then maybe you can not enter your nickname in the "hall of fame".
Remember to pause the game (P) for your final score

Pause when since you don't see the score until the end of the race

Graham Humphrey · 28 December 2009, 22:48

Shall we start taking bets on who's going to win then

rexsu · 29 December 2009, 16:36

332,000
At your turn Mailman

mailman · 01 January 2010, 16:54
