2015 Match Tour rules announced

[rodhx]

The revised format for the 2015 Match Tour events has been announced here. Looks more compelling than the past two iterations.

> 5 or 6 runs on Saturday in morning & afternoon sessions for class competition.
> 2 or 3 runs Sunday morning for shootout qualification.
> Shootout brackets Sunday afternoon. Top 16 pax finishers guaranteed to move on, plus a bonus shootout drawn from other participants.
> All on a single course
> This is intriguing... "Note: Some Regions may also use Sessions 1 through 3 as local points event. Check with the region for more information"

So each competitor looks to get at least 7-9 runs. More if you make one of the three shootout brackets. There are Match Tours scheduled for Bowling Green KY (at the new National Corvette Museum facility) on May 1-3 and Moultrie GA on June 5-7.

Other than more runs it's the same?

they lowered the entry fee to $80, and switched the ladies shootout for the bonus shootout. also, the pro qualifying in sunday morning instead of Saturday's results

If they would just change them to a regular tour, they could charge more and more people would go. But I may try it again in Moultrie.

the final rules were posted: 6 runs on Saturday (3 and 3) to determine class winners. Guaranteed 3 runs Sunday morning, then progression into the shootouts.

I like it: guaranteed 9 runs on the same course.
