Steve: I dunno. If you do this at all, the task delta shouldn't be so steep. Heck look at what happened in the final round of the Pumpkin Fly, lower pilots jumped up as higher pilots dropped -- all flying the same 15 min. task. With the aggressive tasks for the top seeds in the progressive format, it will pay to sandbag. The sandbaggers may never win #1, but they'll be in the wood. If this is tried, it should be done first at a local club contest. (DARTS?) BTW, discrete frequncies would be mandatory in this format! My .02, Rudy

Here is your idea distilled and is tweakable per the Contest Director for the "Progressive Seeded Man-on-Man" format. Assume 4 flight groups of 6 pilots each. All subsequent rounds after Round 1 are seeded (sorted) by total score. 1. Round 1 - 10 minutes (random assignment flight groups) 2. Round 2, flight group 1 (x minutes) flight group 2 (x+1 minutes) flight group 3 (x+2 minutes) flight group 4 (x+3 minutes).... 3. Round 3, flight group 1 (y minutes) flight group 2 (y+2 minutes) flight group 3 (y+4 minutes) flight group 4 (y+6 minutes).... 4. Round 4, flight group 1 (z minutes) flight group 2 (z+3 minutes) flight group 3 (z+6 minutes) flight group 4 (z+9 minutes)..... 5. More if you can stand it... Just some brainstorming. The more I think about it, the more I like it... Steve Siebenaler Cincinnati, Ohio USA ===== Rudolph Siegel, President LDT Systems, Inc. 1148 Main St., 2nd Fl.
