Try this first and see if it works.
When you are at the time result screen at the end of you race, try adjusting the brightness down and contrast up on the TV so the times pop out more, then try taking a photo.
When done revert back to your TV's previous settings ..... Try this with both the HD menu selected and then change to the Fury menu to see if grey writing against a black background seems to get better results.
If you have a magnifying glass try that in front of the screen when you take a photo ....you never know.

If still no luck ask Hellfire what his ultimate call is.

I have a Question as well Hellfire.
Quote: "Each race will be ranked according to best race time, and in the unlikely event of a tie, the best lap time. Normal ranking points will be awarded for each race, providing a maximum of 64 for this round. The deadline for submission is Friday 4th January 2013"

Can you specify a absolute GMT cutoff time on the 4th of Jan, otherwise it means group 8 has to submit their results on average 10 hours before UK/Europe based pilots due to day/date timezone differences ... and hell I need as much time as possible because I'm very rusty.:paperbag

Sorry for the slow response, Hellfire, but as you say I've been offline for a few days - I was expecting to just roll up at the last minute and bash out some times just before the deadline! But I can sort out group 3's times, no problem.

Hellfire_WZ
3rd January 2013, 09:21 AM
Ah, there you are! Was getting worried for a bit ;)

Blackwiggle has a point, as I'm announcing new events relative to GMT then anyone in a time zone ahead of that will be at a disadvantage. I'm altering the deadline rules in that case. If you are in a timezone that is ahead of GMT, the deadline will be midnight GMT. If you are behind GMT, the deadline will be your own local midnight.

AGsys - anything at all is okay, all we need is proof that you set the time during this competition window. As Blackwiggle said, try it with both the HD and Fury menus.

And finally just to make absolutely clear who to send results to. You need to send your screenshots to the event manager of the group BEFORE yours.

EDIT - JTPiranha has informed me that he is no longer able to compete, so Group 1 are a man short.

Dark_Phantom_89, you should have a PM with my results. Please do let me know if you can't see the images or there any problems whatsoever.

Dark_Phantom_89
3rd January 2013, 04:01 PM
I just received your results Gekko, all good. :+ :)

I forgot how stressful time trials can be. I haven't done them for months and the intense feelings and nerves came straight back. :p

Hellfire_WZ
3rd January 2013, 04:22 PM
Also just heard that challenger001 has had to drop out from Group 5. I may have a replacement lined up there though, just waiting for confirmation that they can. They're already getting times together for Round 1 so it should be an easy transition ;)

Couldn't agree more DP. I haven't recovered from New Year yet and I decided to tackle Round 1 this evening. Sweaty hands immediately, and stress levels through the roof! Pretty sure this will be my weakest round, glad to have it out of the way if I'm honest.

Shame Chal has had to drop out :(

Hello Everybody,

I will lose. Time Trials are very hard for me. :]

Time Trials all done and sent to Jan the Man! :) TTs and SLs are what I play for along with online races. Honestly say I never play Elim/Det/Zone and not entierly sure what to do in them!

This tourny has already forced me to play phantom and thank god! I'm really getting into phantom now, never saw the fun in it, but once mastered (couple of tracks at least!) it really is enjoyable :) So thanks Hellfire ! :)

3rd January 2013, 07:46 PM
You will learn to love phantom more and more John ;)

This really made me laugh.

AGSys
3rd January 2013, 10:51 PM
Very much so here as well lol.

Turns out the Fury menu is more legible so I'm gonna go with that. Just need to make some of the pics a bit more brighter and they'll be on their way to Colonel_Gaddaffi's inbox. I might be able to participate in some of the online events if my parents allow me to move the modem around for a while. Really hoping they let me.

Hellfire_WZ
3rd January 2013, 11:24 PM
Right guys, you have ONE day left to get your times in!

bpinflag
4th January 2013, 12:06 AM
I need to clarify, may I submit photos after one day has passed for the U.K but not the US? (Because I have a 7 hour difference.)

Defjukie16
4th January 2013, 01:30 AM
bpinflag - Friday's deadline for results submissions will be at midnight in the local time zones of each player.

5 down, 3 to go, I have 4 pilot's results and I'm waiting on Lightbuster88, XxSuperRyugaxX, and mechaSHEEN. KloakinDevice, I know you're gonna send me yours later.

Dark_Phantom_89
4th January 2013, 10:30 AM
I've only received three pilots times so far, although I'm sure they'll flood in nearer the deadline. Please remember to send them to me, as you really don't want me nagging you. :p

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 11:17 AM
TH4YA1 has had to drop out, so Group 8 are now back down to 6

I'm gonna be very strict with the deadline here guys. Anyone who hasn't got their results in on time will score zero for any unsubmitted tracks.

4th January 2013, 11:20 AM
Hi, i have the same problem than AGSys, I don't have a hd screen, I still have a CRT.
The pictures are difficult to make, I spent almost as much time to take sharp pictures (or almost) to establish my new records!
so rapier racer, sorry, I did what I could

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 11:25 AM
It's okay, as long as we can just about make out what they're supposed to be that's fine. Write the times out in your message to RR along with the images if they're not 100% readable, it's just to confirm that you did them during the window :)

fab0810
4th January 2013, 11:51 AM
ok thank you, I just send my big screen spots!
RR will have funny eyes!:eek:dizzy

MightyJordan
4th January 2013, 12:22 PM
Alrighty, just emailed my times (with screenshots) over to Hellfire. Pretty sure I'll be last in my group; I've seen Gaddafi's leaderboard times on my friend list, and he's always 3-4 seconds faster than me on each track. :P

JFthebestJan
4th January 2013, 01:01 PM
i`ve still no results from Feydius; SnipersBlade & TERRA-WRISTS. deadline is in 9hours from now

firefang9212
4th January 2013, 01:28 PM
I have sent all my results to Hellfire, hopefully he receives them ok.

Colonel
4th January 2013, 01:46 PM
I've seen Gaddafi's leaderboard times on my friend list

Yeah the leaderboards are a dead giveaway (assuming they're from this current crop of TTs and not just old ones, you never know ;)). I've noticed some people from my friends list who are also in my group, in fact I appear to have drawn with somebody in my group for one of them. Also, some people have already started putting their times on the rankings site.

I have both Phantom tracks to attempt yet, but if Mrs Gaddafi lets me I'll try most of mine again before the deadline, I'm really not happy with them.

Feydius
4th January 2013, 02:46 PM
@JF: Yup, I try to upload the screenshot very late. I need every minute to improve my times since I'm normally an online-only pilot. :) At least I hope my wife didn't delete the photos from my camera. :)

Colonel
4th January 2013, 06:20 PM
Okay so far I've had times from theconzio and ACE3000_42. I'm still waiting for times from eipcdudettu, TH4YA1, Lazer0pz, CJ4717 and blackwiggle. Just under 5 hours to go guys, I'll send a few PSN messages just in case. I know blackwiggle's been working on his as we spoke earlier today.

blackwiggle
4th January 2013, 06:54 PM
I've just sent photos of my [Pathetic] Times to theconzio via PSN as he is my group 8 leader.
Isn't that what I was supposed to do?

I suppose I could send them to you as well, but I'm Knackered.
I did a 14 hours shift at work, came home and smashed the various TT's for the results that have been sent, just so I could meet the cutoff time.

On average at least 2-5 seconds of my PB's, mind you, I haven't put in serious effort into HD for over a year, so not that bad considering I'm Extremely rusty .

Hell my thumb hurts ATM !:redface:

scarfrogers
4th January 2013, 06:55 PM
Hey Group 6 :) I am around tomorrow evening and all day Sunday for the online races. Please PM me with what time suits you so hopefully we can all meet same time. Hellfire - is there a plan on times or do each group work out best times to meet between themselves?

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 07:00 PM
Blackwiggle - You need to send yours to Colonel, it's the event manager for the group before yours

Yeah, I can do tomorrow evening. It's anytime that suits the whole group

Colonel
4th January 2013, 07:01 PM
I've just sent photos of my [Pathetic] Times to theconzio via PSN as he is my group 8 leader.
Isn't that what I was supposed to do?

No mate you need to send them to me, as manager of the group before yours. The online stuff, yes theconzio will look after your group, but offline it's me.

Mikahail
4th January 2013, 07:03 PM
Tomorrow evening is fine for me, scar. :)

blackwiggle
4th January 2013, 07:16 PM
Oh crap.
Just as well I haven't gone to bed yet [even though it's 7am here :brickwall ] OK, I'll fire the black beast back up again and send the results via PSN to you.

MightyJordan
4th January 2013, 07:22 PM
No, you have to send them via PM on here (or email, if the group leader prefers, like Hellfire mentioned earlier).

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 07:26 PM
No no, it's okay, as long as the event manager receives them

Laser0pz
4th January 2013, 07:27 PM
I'll send them to Colonel in an hour or so, I just gotta improve my time on the last few tracks :P

Defjukie16
4th January 2013, 07:33 PM
Minor problem Hellfire, I added everyone for group 1 on the list and with jorg-garcia78, it turned out to be jorg_garcia78. Easy fix.

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 07:34 PM
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll correct it in the group list

Feydius
4th January 2013, 08:11 PM
Quick question: Will we see the results of round 1 as soon all data is collected or at the end of the whole tournament?

Btw. do the sent private messages appear in the "Sent" folder?

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 08:24 PM
I'll put up the Round 1 results as soon as everyone has sent me their collated data, and yes they do.

Feydius
4th January 2013, 08:32 PM
Okay thanks. Looks like one has to enable this by "Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder." (I hope) :)

Colonel
4th January 2013, 08:36 PM
Yes that's right Feydius, it doesn't save them by default.

Defjukie16
4th January 2013, 09:08 PM
I have everyone's results in group 2 except for Lightbuster88 and mechaSHEEN.

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 09:18 PM
No problem. Both of them I think are GMT +5 to +8 so they've got a fair bit more time yet. Have you mesaged them on PSN?

Defjukie16
4th January 2013, 09:38 PM
yes, just waiting on them.

Laser0pz
4th January 2013, 09:53 PM
Colonel, I'll be sending my results in a few minutes. Just finishing up Übermall. Also, I want Chengou Project to die.

EDIT: DAMNDAMNDAMNDAMDN I froze while playing Übermall, and I have to leave in a few minutes. Give me a DNF on that one :(

AGSys
4th January 2013, 10:07 PM
Yes exactly, Chenghou Project can go rot in a hole and die. I swear, I restarted the race literally 15 times. The worst part is that there aren't many speed pads so if you hit the wall even once it adds like 4 seconds to your time and you can't do nearly anything at all to shave that off. Anyway, already submitted my times to Colonel, I kinda know I sucked at this round. But oh well, next time I guess.

Still waiting on Knux and Germanistgeek's results, don't forget to send them to me guys.

Thanks to the others who have sent in their times. :)

Colonel
4th January 2013, 10:43 PM
Got messages from blackwiggle, Laser0pz and CJ4717, still waiting for TH4YA1 and epicdudettu.

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 10:44 PM
Just sent reminders out to them. SnipersBlade has had problems with his game and has been unable to get any times, but he's trying to get a disk version so he can take part in the rest of the tournament. Terra-wrists has apparently lost his camera cable, so it'll remain to be seen if his come in on time.

Only waiting for Serpent now, but he's not online...

Adam, TH4YA1 has dropped out

Colonel
4th January 2013, 10:48 PM
Ah shame, he's a hell of a pilot. I'm assuming it's some ungodly hour where epicdudettu is?

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 10:50 PM
Between 8 and 11am I'd imagine? Deadline's a deadline though

Defjukie16
4th January 2013, 10:55 PM
Ok, still waiting on the two pilots but I finished the results. Hellfire, do you want to see them or wait for the other two?

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 10:59 PM
Send me what you've got, if the other two come through in time then pop me another message later :)

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 11:01 PM
The Round 1 window is now CLOSED for anyone who is GMT or earlier. Event managers, please do not accept any further results. Those behind GMT will have until their local midnight to submit.

Colonel
4th January 2013, 11:03 PM
I've just got some collating to do, need access to the TV / PS3 which isn't looking imminent. I'll get them to you as soon as I can Charlie, may be an hour. Is PM or email better?

morfeo378
4th January 2013, 11:10 PM
for online races, those in my group can play at 6 gtm instead of eight, is that I find it very difficult to play at that time, family issues

Hellfire_WZ
4th January 2013, 11:31 PM
Adam, either will do

Round 2 details will be going up in a minute, just need to sort this out first

Hellfire_WZ

Knux_Chaotix
5th January 2013, 12:38 AM
GROUP 4 - Im good all weekend but Sunday would be best if possible (I will be child-less so I will be able to concentrate :P) but I can do Saturday if need be ^_^

Colonel
5th January 2013, 12:40 AM
Group 7, I'm fairly easy when we do ours. Saturday evening's always good for me, although I'd like to request a slightly later start time than the standard 8pm, 9pm would be better for me tomorrow. I'll get PSN messages sent now and we'll sort something out.

TheConzio
5th January 2013, 12:59 AM
I have been trying to contact epicdudettu (He's a close friend) but getting nothing back, either something has gone wrong or he is suffering from depression or something. Anyway, I think he wont be participating further in the tournament.

Here is a link to my attempt for round 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nCPTYzPWSw

5th January 2013, 03:11 AM
Right, we should organize a time for group 8 tomorrow, is 4pm good for you?

Ace3000
5th January 2013, 03:18 AM
4pm tomorrow? That is an alright time.

TheConzio
5th January 2013, 03:25 AM
We can change it if you want, but tomorrow im available afternoon till night

EDIT: can you record the results if i suffer from a disconnection?

AGSys
5th January 2013, 03:46 AM
Yep that's a good time. This time zone stuff is confusing, I'm in Auckland so I'm guessing I'm about 2 hours ahead of you 2 grp 8 guys, would that mean it'd be 2pm for me? O_o

EDIT: Nope, about 6pm. I think it'd be okay for me if it was just like an hour earlier. The TV would be occupied by 6pm so it wouldn't really work out for me I think.

camlet
5th January 2013, 04:06 AM
group 1 i think i can't race on Sunday due to work on that day

According to this time converter website (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20130106T16&p1=196&p2=22&p3=&p4=&p5=&p6=&p7=&p8=&p9=&p10=&p11=&p12=), NZ is GMT+13 (NZDT), so 4pm for us (Western Australia) would be 9pm for you.

EDIT: @theconzio, I can record if you suffer a disconnection.

Defjukie16

EVERYONE IN GROUP ONE, The time I was thinking of is Saturday 3:00 pm EST 8:00 pm GMT. Just like REBIRTH, simple, without any chaos.

TheConzio
5th January 2013, 04:29 AM
Right, Ace3000 and AGsys, can you tell everyone else in group 8 about the time for tomorrow? I'm going to be busy for the rest of the day.

5th January 2013, 10:37 AM
I almost have the Round 1 results ready, I'm still waiting for confirmation of a couple of results. MrBlakemore - when did you submit your results as you have come in as a DNF?

I must say though I'm quite disappointed that there is at least one DNF in every single group. Not a good feeling when you put the effort in for something this big and people just go missing...

UB3R~JKP
5th January 2013, 11:08 AM
Agreed. If people have a reason fair dos, but if people are just going MIA. Well, Thats just ignorant.

Colonel
5th January 2013, 11:11 AM
Always the way with these things sadly. I'm sure in most cases it is unavoidable, but the sheer effort that Charlie has, and has yet to put in to this, would make me play with the house burning down around me.

Knux_Chaotix
5th January 2013, 11:35 AM
I spent my week racing with the most god awful mix of insomnia, just generally being ill and some critical hangovers. Still not feeling 100% but there was no way in hell I was missing a second of this!!! I love the effort people like Charlie and Adam put into the events like Omnium, Rebirth and O-Zone. Stuff like this makes this one of the best online communities ever :P

Looking forward to seeing just how dismal my times are in comparison to the rest of my group lol. I was just not feeling it this week but I tried ^_^ I'll have better luck on next weeks Zones and Elims. My time to shine ^_^

For anyone interested, my dire Time Trial Results can be found here... http://s1357.beta.photobucket.com/user/Knux_Chaotix/library/Wipeout%20HD%20Fury%20-%20OMNIUM%20-%20Time%20Trials

As I said, I'm waiting to verify one or two DNFs before I post the results, but they should be up at some point today

Trying to get an idea for group 4, how many people would be available from 7 or 8 pm tomorrow night?

Colonel
5th January 2013, 12:49 PM
Just saw that epicdudettu from Group 8 was online, so I messaged him asking if he's still taking part. Got a message back just saying "no sorry" so we can scratch him from group 8.

group 4 - anytime from now today is fine with me but tomorrow would be a real struggle, too many commitments already, work etc. hopefully everyone is available at some time today :/

Bad news from Group 7 I'm afraid. Serpent's been having technical difficulties, and has had to pull out.

Just waiting to hear back from Azurooth and MightyJordan, and we're good to go at 9pm GMT. Although if we can start a little earlier than that we will, I don't want to keep the GMT+1 people up too late ;)

I've heard back from a few people in Group 3 on PSN, and we're hoping for a 5.30pm GMT start on Sunday for Round 2. I'll send out some PM's too.

There seems to have been a miscalculation /typo with Anulpha in group 7:

novide 1.48.59 8
Colonel__Gaddaffi 1.49.09 3
Liger-Inuzuka 1.49.78 4
MightyJordan 1.51.79 3
Azurooth 1.49.66 5
firefang9212 1.59.00 1
DuCkyLAT 1.53.77 2

I think mine should read 6, which should put me on 53 in total, joint 1st with Phil :g

GROUP ONE PARTICIPANTS: Here is where we stand at this point, most of us decided on 3:00 EST 8:00 GMT, some pilots are busy on Sunday so Saturday is the only day that works, still waiting on these pilots (vlhad13 is sitting comfortably on a beach right now and won't be back until the 9th or 10th of January to participate):

kiTTun - add you but I still need a conformation that you'll be available

jorg_garcia78 - you still haven't added me or sent a conformation that you'll be available

Pick up the pace guys.

Medusa - what is your PSN account name? Is it kiTTun or jorg_garcia78? I"ll send an email telling the other players to be on at 2:00 pm just to be safe, but I can't make any promises. Is that the only time you're available?

Ok, checked it out. These are the only pilots in group one playing today, vlhad13 won't be back until later and jorg_garcia78 still hasn't gonna back to me.

Group 1 pilots:

bpinflag
cam-let
ADBwh1t34ndn3rdy
kiTTun

Group 5: I'm free all day Sunday. I've contacted JFthebestJan on PSN but not heard back from him.

Meesiash - great races earlier today. I almost got within 10 seconds of you on one race. Group 5 is going to be very tough indeed.

blackwiggle
5th January 2013, 06:10 PM
Group 8, I'm good for anytime today, I hopefully should be in a lot better form than my pathetic TT results.

4PM AWST was suggested, with our group it was initially some pilots from NZ, one in Japan, me in Sydney and a few pilots in WA

So the suggested Perth WA time of 4pm your time [I forgot you guys don't have daylight savings]
would be relative to WA time - Sydney = +3 hours = 7pm for me
Japan = + 4 hours = 8pm for them
NZ = + 5 hours = 9pm for them

I'll check back here before then and for PSN messages to see if this has been confirmed, also we should start a chat room, or if one is already open could somebody shoot me a invite if they see I'm online.
Cheers, race you later.:D

Defjukie16
5th January 2013, 06:13 PM
Ok, I'm seeing two of the pilots from group 1 up. Still waiting on bpinflag and kiTTun surprisingly. I'm gonna assume jorg_garcia78 is gonna be a no show to the event seeing how he wasn't in the time trials as well.

Defjukie16
5th January 2013, 06:33 PM
Ok, just kiTTun left.

MrBlakemore
5th January 2013, 06:35 PM
As I said, I'm waiting to verify one or two DNFs before I post the results, but they should be up at some point today

I apoligize for the TT results. I was en route from Atlanta and was working on TT there and in Chattanooga and left the SD card w/ my vids there. It wasn't until I made it back to Nashville last night that I realized it. I will be available for the remainder of the tourney though.

Colonel
5th January 2013, 06:42 PM
'm gonna assume jorg_garcia78 is gonna be a no show to the event seeing how he wasn't in the time trials as well.

Is it not possible he's on holiday with vlhad, seeing as they're brothers?

Getting anxious for Group 7, I've tried to get hold of MightyJordan via here and PSN, but he's not surfaced all day, and we're scheduled to start in just over an hour. I really wanted to get this done today.

Defjukie16
5th January 2013, 06:46 PM

This may sound like a stupid question Charlie, but when we send you our online race results, do you need times /scores, or just positions for each race?

Just so you're aware guys, Friday is a free day so that'll probably be the ideal opportunity to organise times for next weeks meet

I'm waiting for theconzio to either log on here or on his PSN to answer if we can bring it forward or push it back for group 8.
I would hate to have another drop out, our group is already down to 5.
I just sent you a PSN message as well AGSys by the way.

EDIT: Anybody from group 8 please reveal what times are suitable for you in "your" timezone and where you are located [Country] ....

I wish we still had the old option of showing what timezone [+ or - GMT in hours] in the info box on the right with out PSNID info etc when we post, that was invaluable and saved a lot of confused, especially when it came to Bling Brigade GG and situations like this.
Whatever happened to that?

AGSys
6th January 2013, 01:51 AM
I can only connect to the internet like exactly right before the race. I know a few of you have sent me friend requests so I'll try to accept those ASAP when I'm online. Btw, I'm CJ4717 on PSN.

blackwiggle
6th January 2013, 02:00 AM
Not sure what everybodies PSNID is, I sent s friends request to what I thought was you and Lazer0, but when those ID's showed up in pending the % of game completed was very low, so I think they might be the wrong PSNID's and deleted them.
Best you shoot me a friends rquest so I know I have the right persons.

OK, I'll send the request again.
Are you sure you can play all speed classes and tracks online?
As I thought you had to get a certain amount of the way through Campaign so all the tracks became available, I could be wrong as it's been over 3 years since I did that.

I've resent the friends request.
As you haven't been online you haven't updated your trophy list, so to anybody viewing your stat's it is showing that you haven't completed any of the game, that's what made me think I had the wrong PSNID.
It should do it automatically when you sign into the PSN later tonight.
I'l message the others what the situation is, hopefully they wil turn thier PS3's on soon.... it's to hot to be doing anything else over here ATM.

AGSys
6th January 2013, 02:57 AM
Yeah the only thing I need to finish in the HD campaign is the 8-race Meltdown tournament. And with all the other tracks, I think they're already unlocked considering they're all addons and I've done time trials on them just now. Lol blackwiggle sorry for the double PM spam.

Do you already have me? (My PSN is Ace3000_42)

I will only turn on my PS3 to set up the recording and to get ready for the tournament, so about 3:30, 3:45 my time.

To my fellow Group 1 pilots:

I apologize for making you wait on Saturday.
I am really, really busy and I find the different types of posting one's time zone confusing (UCT, EST, CMT, ....etc etc...)when I have to try to find the time posted in among all the other posts in this thread, then read the time post accurately...

"3:00 EST 8:00 GMT" was posted, I thought for some reason I had read that def was in my same time zone, I deeply apologize.

I have a huge favour to ask: Next time Group 1 has an online meeting, can I be PM'ed with the possible time, and with it simply in "#GMT" format? For example, "We are meeting at 6 p.m. GMT"

I can't keep up with this thread and get online and do the offline stuff, I'm barely reading my emails these days nevermind such a big thread

I second blackwiggle's comment about missing the GMT under our locations...

Quite welcome DefJukie16. I was gentle with the language this time around, considering profanity is supposedly par for the course in most Southern black Baptist households lol.

Quick question, where are the results from round 2?

7th January 2013, 06:10 AM
Hellfire said he will post them with the results of round one, so a couple a pages back of this thread [when they are posted]


Hellfire, maybe results should be posted on the first page if possible.
[ Well you opened the thread and can do so, unlike my situation with the Transcendence hall of fame, which somebody else started and I can't edit]

Ahhh, it's all the drag racing circuits for the Zone round. I was practicing on Sebenco Reverse, I was sure there was going to be at least one of the trickier ones!

8 tracks in 2 nights for me! Great...

Ugh, uploading my videos are taking SO FREAKING LONG, I've only got part 1 of 4 up (Venom)

For those interested, here is part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEF6igodQC4).

EDIT: Okay, at least TheConzio has uploaded our [Group 8] results, so I can take my time with my videos.

Huge thanks to all the guys in Group 4 for doing Round 2 yesterday evening. So glad to be a part of it. Booney is a real fast beast and I didn't race very well overall. Got better at Phantom, though, so I'm happy anyway.
Real sorry to hear Liod had an issue with the PS3. Last races weren't the same without you, cause you're the only one of us who could've catched that crazy-fast Booney!

When you say that the aim is to "reach the highest Zone," is that whoever reaches the highest number, or whoever has the highest score? For example, which of these scenarios would win?

A) Zone 80 with 120,000 points
B) Zone 85 with 105,000 points

Thanks. :)

7th January 2013, 03:09 PM
B) Zone 85 would win DP, only where both players have reached the same Zone would their scores come into effect.

I ordered a new PS3 that I hope will arrive before thursday ends. Actually I don't have the money for it, but **** it. Me without a PS3 is only half human and I don't want to jump out of this tourney, even if I lost potential points now. Then I will stay in for the fun of it.
And thanks for your sympathy, group 4 guys. Very appreciated, I'm in a much better mood by now.

To be honest I wasn't sure about it at first, but having had a quick bash at Pro Tozo it makes perfect sense. Doing 8 Zone runs in 4 days is quite a lot anyway. If you're aiming solely for a high score it could be so frustrating, hitting restart every time you clip a wall early on. But with this system it's no big deal, you recover and carry on. One should never doubt the wisdom of the Hellfire ;)

Damn right bitches

Actually, the real reason is that I wanted this round to be a "how fast can you handle?" type of competition ;)

BTW, Germanistgeek has withdrawn from the tournament

I noticed one mistake in group 8 round 2 results, Rapier, Chenghou reverse .... I've been given 6 points for 2nd place but I know I actually won that race, theconzio came 2nd.

I'm gonna tell you guys a story about what happened today. It was a normal cold snowy day in Connecticut, I just came back from the gym, hitting the blue bag in the boxing room, came home to play sodium one, then the controller started freaking out as usual, had to tap it on my desk to make it stop. Next thing I know, for the 3rd time this year, the R1 button came off and now it's not going back on. That makes the R side of my controller completely bare. I'm telling you pilots this because soon, I'm gonna get a new controller, glitch-free with all the buttons and I will work my hands off and transcend my playing abilities, bpinflag, It's gonna be fun playing with you and I know you'll make it to the finals. Kpop, Brothers in NAWTy, I know you recently got your new controller which will make are races the best quality, but when that happens with any pilot, got to let everyone know, I won't hold back. :)

Incorrect, in fact it was Rocky's complacency and lack of hunger that cost him his defeat against Clubber Lang.

Sorry Hellfire, massively offtopic, but I can't have Rocky misinterpreted.

Anyway back on topic, the Zone runs aren't going well. I'm having to fit them in when my fiance goes to work on nights, which means I don't get to start til10pm. Last night I was up til 2 and I'm not pleased with any of my efforts. Nowhere near a PB on any of them, but I'm determined to nail them by Thursday. War!

The only thing you can do is change the music, or if it's incidental music i.e. what you were listening to when you were playing, then you'll have to overdub it with music that isn't blocked. If you're struggling, Youtube has quite a big library of licensed stuff that you can use without a problem. Just go to the Edit video bit and it should be easy to find.

Because I know stuff like this happens, I race with music volume set to 0, then edit in a track from my music library. Usually video game music works perfectly, which I have done for all my omnium videos. Although I nearly had a video blocked by uploading one with what I thought was an obscure deadmau5 track. Had to delete, edit in a different piece of music, and re-upload.

I always assumed Zone was like riding a bike and you could go back to it after a break without suffering a massive atrophy of skills. Not true it seems :(

Ok Colonel, so Rocky didn't beat Clubber Lang at the end, I wasn't talking about just the beginning, I was talking about the movie as a whole. But whatever, kpop, sorry for the little debate last night but I feel like I feel and you have your own opinion as I do mine. Back to business, anyone for Group 2 have their results?
