Formula 5 25th July - Standings
- Thread starter Bedlam
- Start date
If you can think of a system that is easier than the patch/baton used at the last event let me know dude & we'll try it out.
The trouble comes is when you have 2/3 players dead at the same time the gate gets super busy & there is no way of counting you in/out with out physically standing in the way which is totally annoying for players, this way the only thing between having your full quota of live players on the field is your own team mates

To be fair i thought the arm bands were a good thing! As long as your team knows what the order is and set up a system then it all works fine ( storm 2 had it sorted)
Ideas
Welcome and breifing to kick off with and lay down the law
Also i would like to see the day run on a timer so if the teams not ready to go then the game is awarded to the team that is on the ball, unfair if you get caught out by the rule but any team taking part should be able to stick to this with 15 plus players,
Two games per hour= 15 min game , 15min break.......15min game, 15 min break
Pegs in the pit tent at each end for the arm bands to be placed and picked up from, so no time lost to looking for these with again a penalty for the teams breaking the rule loosing hard earned points.
Maybe a snack wagon to fuel us all with bacon rolls and tea...................PLEASE
Sorry if the above seems harsh but i would like to get all my games in next time and be home when i planned ! (
Hope this helps? & cant wait to get back and do it all again...

Ed's proposed ideas for improving the pitting area.
I think having two pits is a must. This will make game turn around times much better.
I would also like to implement a player trade zone for use of a better phrase. This is where a clean players waits ready to go on and where the trade of armbands, under the current system, should take place before a player enters the field of play.
This would also allow using the netted dog legs I put in for the pits to be a goggles of zone and the trade zone to be a goggles on zone. Popping a table in the trade zone for barrel socks would be greatly appreciated.
I have left in the netted zone on the field that allows players to get to the safety bunkers, as I call them, without getting shot through spawn camping.
The down side to this would mean that the whole back line of the field will need to be netted so that teams may go to the pits without the need for goggles for setting up etc. This will mean John would need to shell out for more poles to be put in and netting hung.
If we really wanted to go techno I would remove arm bands all together and replace it with a button system. Five lights in the trade zone at the entrance to the field, one for each live player on the field. When an eliminated player returns from the field he hits the elimination button illuminating a light. A clean players sees this hits the live button and enters the field of play.
Further improvements would involve putting a slave copy of the scoreboard in the pits but lets walk before we can run
A bit much for John to do now but maybe in the future.
I would say as I did above to drop the wireless kill counters and roll with the more reliable wired options too.
