    2016 Sniper's KOF Season

    The season will kick off the first weekend of February with the Lucas Oil series at Golden Isles events. I'm taking input on any suggestions for this upcoming season. Different format? Etc.

    how about just 2-3 races each week?? there were 4-5 at times last season and this old man couldn't keep up. I really like the 3 groups to choose from and then any driver we choose for the 4th pick. you do a great job. thanks!!

      I enjoyed the addition of the smaller series, i.e UMP Summer Nationals, Ultimate, Southern Nationals..
      I don't always post on 4m.. But when I do, I'm usually sitting on the crapper!!

        May be mix up the driver instead of having the same drivers in same group each week. Just a thought

          I'm with pink once you get past woo/lucas it really takes alot of time to make your picks at the races outta your wheelhouse its also time consuming rechecking if the driver is still going to be there once picks are made I'm not against the unsanctioned/summer nats/all the different stuff they put together in the south but if we stuck to just sprinkling them in on the down weeks sorta speak my guess is we would have less of a fall off midseason an going forward. But like i said just a guess. Also i thought the double points at both eldora races we're fitting I'm hoping you bring that back.

            I love the idea of the fantasy racing. Anything you do would be great. I like all the different ideas from everybody.

                It was really a chore to keep up with all of the events. Maybe a shorter season would help. Did like the diversity of races run.
                If you failed or missed picking one event, your chances of finishing in the top 10 wasn't going to happen. Believe this may have contributed to many race fans dropping out.

                    good point, how about dropping our 2 lowest scores?? that way, you could miss 2 weeks and still be competitive.

                      i dislike the dropping of scores
                      i lost ground on 1st place last season
                      cuz i had higher low scores than he did

                        Last season was my first time playing, and have say I can't wait for this to kick off, Also have say thanks for everyone putting time into this make this happen............... I don't know how things worked what you have tried in the pass because last year was my first time. But here are some things I seen last year. Lot people dropped out because said they didn't like it when you could do a day by day picks. But reason I missed the first 3 weeks was because of speed weeks you had to give a one week pick for 6-7 days of racing. To me that trying predict to much, There are way to many variables can happen to driver for a whole week of racing might even knock him out for couple days. I think for something like speed weeks and hell tour when its more than 3 days of racing, need make 2 dead line picks for that week of racing or have option to make picks for the MAIN event, on that day and zero editing your post on that day from your last post group picks . If some does try that, they dont get no pionts. You would have to make new post for the groups for Main event for that day ................................................. 4 group picks, I like alot but they shouldn't have no more than 5 drivers in each groups for a regular weekend race. At one part of the year they had 6 picks in group 1 for lucas. but for 20k+ for lucas or Woo where alot time the other tour guys show up, or even when one tour running and the other is off. Put both lucas group 1 and woo group 1 together to make group 1. Same with group 2 and group 3, 4th group pick who ever not listed in group 1,2 and 3... So people can have more options and not everyone picking same people, well for most I don't like picking same drivers as every one else. I took risk last year 90% of the time i maked sure one of my groups didnt look the same as anyone else to try make more points and posting 30 mins before dead line make sure no one jack my picks lol........................Maybe for major crown jewels dream,world 100, Knoxville, DTWC I think it was good how yall did it last year but if you do groups. A 5th bonus group 4 drivers of the choice of snipers kof round table. maybe pass winners or some drivers that always comes super close to winning it every year.And for deadlines put each time zone where it going end for them. Some of this people don't understand or forget that 4m goes off eastern time zone. Not central, mountain, Pacific time zone... I think I did that once last year when i first started to make picks...

                            Only reason I said put everyone in the pot, is that lot times some the woo drivers don't support a lucas race. Myself I like the headaches to do research. Find out how good driver did in pass at that track and how good they running present on different track surface
