So Dixie is now a Solo Shootout Event? No more just regular old Tour event?

Looks like it...

Hmmm...

Bummer as I was looking forward to this event. Not sure about the Match thing.

[aufoxy]

The Match Tour is a lot more fun. It actually looks like theyre trying to phase out the old Tour events in favor of the new "Match Tour" events. I went to two of those events last year, I thought they were more fun than a normal tour event.

[Sparky]

I agree. The Match Tour Format (super shootout) is a lot more fun.

[engled]

I agree on the Match Tour fun factor, but it's still not a replacement for a National Tour, that's just my humble opinion.

For those of us who have never attended a Tour event and actually hoped to this year... can one of you experienced folks actually explain what the "match tour format" is? I take it Dixie is not simply a bigger-than-normal autocross anymore.

From the SCCA website...

"Match Tours are the latest addition to the Tire Rack SCCA National Solo Series. These events are three events in one package. The event start off with a Saturday four run Autocross, then a two run Last Chance Qualifier on Sunday morning, followed by the final show down coming together in Evolution Super Shootout. The Shootout format allows the forty-eight fastest drivers to mix with the top four ladies, as well as twelve random drawn drivers in a four ladder tournament to see who can take home the big prize.

The top 32 qualifiers are determined from the events overall PAX results, and are then locked into their positions for the Sunday Super Shootout. Once those drivers are locked in to the Shootout, the rest of the competitors get a second chance in the Last Chance Qualifier. Following the LCQ the top four ladies class competitors are brought into the Super Shootout bringing the total number to 52. The remaining 12 Super Shootout positions will be from a random drawing of any that have not made the top 52 spots, bringing the total to 64. With the field complete, the 64 competitors are plugged into a bracket system and run against one another until only one remains.
