ELDORADO Battle of the States?

Okay - After extensive thought, consideration and debate.

Here are the ground rules for Battle of the States Eldorado 2018.

 

We are going to lower the required number of shooters SLIGHTLY to allow more states the opportunity to play.

Any state with eight or more shooters will be eligible for the award.

 

Each state with eight or more shooters will be required to put forth a team captain.

This Captain will, TWO WEEKS prior to Eldorado, receive a list of ALL shooters attending from their state.

The Captain will CHOOSE the EIGHT shooters that will be scored out for the purposes of the Battle of the States.

Prior to the first Main Match shot going downrange; the Captain will provide this list to Eldorado officials.

 

These will be the ONLY scores used in compiling the results.

After the list is submitted - regardless of outcome - these EIGHT shooters represent the given state and their eight scores will be used in compiling the group score.

State score will be determined by simple addition of all eight scores together to achieve a total.

Lowest state score WINS.

 

The element of choosing shooters adds a strategy taking into consideration every element of who gives your state the best chance to win.

Super fast...  But might they crash and burn?

Super consistent...   But will they be fast enough?

Is there an up and coming shooter...   Do you risk them over another?

 

We hope you enjoy the return of the Eldorado Battle of the States.

 

We will begin accepting volunteers for State captains immediately.

It would be an honor to be the Captain for the ARIZONA TEAM. 

 

An honor?  You do realize Gawd Awful will probably be on your team, don't you?  Seems a rather dubious honor. :blink:

I'm going to really shake up the list of shooters if I'm the captain. There will be women, children and a soot Lord or 2.

We have our first state Captain.  

Arizona will be helmed by Hells Comin'

Whos next to step up and take the reins for their state?

 

California, Nevada are already qualified with enough shooters 

Utah, Oregon are only needing a couple more to meet the counts.

 

Come on, let's make it a race with a number of great states and shooters playing.

 

Lead your state to victory.

Just make sure your choices are made with the best chance of winning in mind.

Diversity or not is solely the decision of the team captain.

And I did not mention this; but to avoid hard feelings about who was picked (or not picked) and to avoid second guessing after the fact...

And to avoid any undue pressure upon any specific shooters; all choices by the State Captain (unless disclosed by them) will be and will remain confidential.

I'll drive the Stage coach for Nevada if you need someone.

 

There you go.

Nevada will be led by Ace of Hearts.

Thank you, Ace.

 

Still waiting for a Cali volunteer.

And for a few other states to fill out their rosters.

Oh, another thing.

While I'm assuming that Hells Comin' and Ace of Hearts will be among their states representative shooters...

 

There is no requirement that the Captain is one of the counted shooters.

 

Their sole required duty is to pick the eight shooters they feel give their state the best chance for success.

 

Play the game well.

Ahh, you were being pre-emptive.

 

I thought you might be doing some insider trading and I was trying to figure out how Matt Black and Deuce Stevens were somehow from Arizona all of a sudden.

:blink:

I'm only making a joke and I apologise to Matt and Deuce who (as of right now) are not even attending Eldorado this year.

2 questions, so that we all know the rules, 

 

1 is the team captain allowed an alternate in case one of there listed shooters has a last minute emergency BEFORE the first shots of the main match

 

2 how will a DNF be scored? 

 

If we all know the rules, we can’t argue about them after the fact (well we can, but it will be useless)

I am open to an Eight designated plus one alternate format to protect the state from an extreme last minute no show or issue.  But once your eight designated shooters have sent their first round downrange...

You got what you got and you live with the results.

DNFs will be scored on an individual stage by stage basis.

Any stage a shooter does not finish will be scored out as the number of available misses PLUS 30 seconds.

 

Multiple stage DNF do not collect any ADDITIONAL penalties beyond the above described miss/ time penalty by stage.

 

Choose your horses well.

Have notified Charming by phone and the check will be in the mail tomorrow for the both of us, if one or both of us make the cut.  My feeling will not be hurt since last year I had 3 p's and I don't know how many misses.
