[Official Event] Need for Speed II

[JadeTornado]

Things I liked:

• We were mostly on schedule, no unnecessary delays. A 5-minute break between tracks is awesome.
  
• I was mostly aware of race status. Stages, groups, results.
  
• The calculation of the results & points was top-notch.
  
• Reduced # of laps for a longer track.
  
• Me win prize
  

Things I disliked:

• Multiple qualification attempts simultaneously. In drifting your car is alone on track, so you won't have any distractions during the qualification.
  
• Randomness in the amount of players per group during qualifiers. It doesn't feel competitive when one group goes with 4 players, and the next one starts with 6.
  
• Lap-system for Valley Forge track. The specifics of the track made it so the results were mostly random. If I would complete the track during the race, even with an average result, it would have been enough for me take the lead despite competing against two much better racers than me @TheSauron & @Emperor Tekagi, just because they failed to complete the track as it intended during the qualifiers.
  
• I got confused why you would need our overall track time, since I'm not seeing that in the event description. It felt to me that I've lost some initiative by not knowing that.
  

I would suggest:

• Making copies/instances of the track for the event day if it is possible, so there would be overall less people on track during the qualification. Alternatively, the qualification may be separate from the main event, although I don't think this is a good decision because it will defocus the public's attention.
  
• Keep the amount of racers per group as even as possible to ensure equal conditions for all
  
• For Valley Forge and alike, I'd say make it not lap-based, but time-based or give a fixed number of attempts to show the best time. Maybe someone would think it's good to have a track that shuffles everything and makes it hard to predict who is going to win, which is good for betting, but although I don't see much competition in this, I believe this track should have been the second after the Monte Carlo. After MIB gained the advantage on a harder track, something unlucky should happen to them to lose on a much stable (easier) track. So there is almost 0 intrigue on the winner.
  
• Probably add another referee or two, so that you won't be overwhelmed by the number of people demanding your attention. It's up to you, I think you did well.
  
• I had that idea for my Cruiser Tournaments: I wouldn't mind providing some fluff about my racer or a team, so the non-participants could use that in their roleplay. Like, imagine some TV reporter narrates about the track, participants, and scores of the Grand Prix. Imo, it's an awesome content for the stream and to encourage betting.

Despite my rant, being with other racers on track simultaneously is another skill to master and requires experience.
Overall I liked it, looking forward to the next one!
