Australian Supercross Announced
Re: Australian Supercross Announced
Just another Idea I am currently spit balling
how does an entry fee of under $20 for the complete season for the Pro open (450) class sound
100% of the entry fees will be divided to the series 1st 2nd and 3rd for the Pro Open (450) class
Pro's
Weed out many of the people who show up to ruin an event
Incentive to show up each week
more competitive racing
bigger payout to people who win
Con's
Possibly making some fast guys who do not have access to much money ineligible to run the 450 class
---
Would love to get some feedback on this idea as I am trying to sky rocket the Prize money for the series to put it on the map.

Re: Australian Supercross Announced
I don't know if it would really weed out queers. It seems like the ones that are bad enough to be perma-banned just buy new copies of the game anyways, so I bet they could afford to pay the entry fee. I probably won't be racing anyways, but just sharing my opinion.
Re: Australian Supercross Announced
Can't say you'll see any Kiwi's at your event, 12:30am start time.... You'd be finishing at 3am in the morning, no go. Hell you'd be finishing around 1am for Australia.
Hi
Re: Australian Supercross Announced
yer good luck James getting 'Australians' to race your 'Australian' series with a start time of 10:30 on a Saturday night when we all ride on a sunday, definetly will cancel out alot of aussies who would like to race but have real life racing commitments. have fun i sure in hell wont be there
Re: Australian Supercross Announced
yeah, nah i won't be racing some rounds then cause i go to bed early saturday night cause i race sunday morning. if it started at 5:30 like you originally posted it would be much better.
Re: Australian Supercross Announced
I am still looking at alternate time frames
and to put it in perspective for Korey,Scotty and Boblob Ideal time for Aus,NZ is going to make it an event catering for a max of 15 people, this is not an option for me given the time I put into the Tracks.
My main focus is making it attendable for as many people as possible and keeping it at a reasonable hour for Australians. Dont get me wrong I am not going to disregard Australians and run it at a time that only suits USA however I would be stupid to not consider time Zones that work for both.

Re: Australian Supercross Announced
2-4PM on a saturday would be great if your not working but idk your work rooster
Re: Australian Supercross Announced
That would be the Ideal time however some Saturdays I finish at 5:00 however If I was to have a co host that could run it for me on the off chance I work later I would be happy to have it at that time.Craig wrote:2-4PM on a saturday would be great if your not working but idk your work rooster
Currently the best option I can see for me to host every week and to get the most people is 5:30 pm Aus EST

Re: Australian Supercross Announced
Why don't you just host a series and call it something else and do it at the time Craig suggested. I personally thought it was weird that you yourself wanted to race Sunday but were prepared to stay up till 1am. Either way good luck. I'm sure you could host it earlier if you needed, like 12pm or 1pm. Any time before 4pm seems to suit the USA.

@Steven you seem to be slamming everything I suggest with negativity, Please understand I am trying to find a time that suits everyone. I also dont get why you dont want me to call it an Australian SX series ? especially when doing it at the time Craig suggested would make it a great time for Aus....

and thanks everyone else for the ideas on time so far, It is a difficult problem to solve however I think I am pretty sure I will go with 5:30pm time slot
Re: Australian Supercross Announced
I think 4-6 aus time would be good even if you get someone to run AM and even 250pro ill be down to help out with that
Your series do what you want really im sure people will turn up no matter of the time

Re: Australian Supercross Announced
I hope you're kidding. After the embarrassment I saw from the MXS community yesterday, I want nothing to do with running events. I'll still play and build some stuff for fun and even race a bit, but I was NOTHING to do with hosting any events.Craig wrote:I passed your email to the sponsor's so you can talk to them since im not on here much anymore james goodluck with it all i might race it if sim is fun by that timecheckerz wrote:Run it when it's best for you and the Aussies IMO.
