The best current or active driver polls. 2.0

1.The first thread is so cluttered it probably discourages participation or interest. Hopefully this will simplify matters.

2. The first set of polls are running and will close out on Friday . A procedure change is effect. With the exception of the final poll, almost all of the final 20 drivers are only eliminated after a second loss (double elimination). Hopefully that will remedy some of the seeding flaws.
It also will allow for more head to head match ups among some great drivers.

3. The net results or operating rules for round two

1. Jimmie Johnson vs 16
2. Jeff Gordon vs 15
3. Tony Stewart vs 14
4 .Bill Elliott vs 13
5. Kurt Busch vs 12
6. Matt Kenseth vs 11
7. Brad Keselowski vs 10
8. Mark Martin vs 9 Denny Hamlin
(The above polls will be open for four days)

Seed # 10 Will be the driver with the most votes in the current set of polls, 1st tiebreaker vote %, 2nd tiebreaker original seed postion.
Seed 11 the driver with the second most votes etc
....
Provisional Seed 16, the winner of the current polls with the lowest vote count.

Seed 17, will be the driver who did not win his poll, but had the most votes among that group.
Seed 18 the driver with the next highest vote count.
Seed 19
Seed 20

All others are eliminated.

For seeds 20- 16 the following elimination polls will consist of:
Seed 20 vs 19
The winner vs seed 18
The winner vs seed 17
The winner verse seed 16 (if seed 16 losses this one they are eliminated regardless of no previous losses)
The winner or seed 16 will be polled against 1 Jimmie Johnson. (These elimination rounds will last only 24 hours)

Round three will work the same way

1 vs (8)
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5

Like round two They will be seeded by votes count from the previous round . These polls will be opened for four days.

For that double elimination
16 vs 15, then the winner opposes 14 etc until we reach the final 8 (these polls will be open for 36 hours.


Note: this is posted to prevent any surprises, and to spell out the protocols of Greg, before it effects any driver.
 
This is quick list, I will make it more presentable when I get home

seeds 11-21

10th seed Kyle Busch, 11th Carl Edwards , 12th Harvick, 13th Biffle, 14th Dale Jr, 15th Terry Labonte, 16th Bobby Labonte, 17th Truax, 18 Burton, 19 Smith, 20 Bowyer, 21 Kahne

All drivers with at least 4 votes make it to the elimination rounds, drivers seeded in the top 15 will go to round two.
 
Round Two
Poll # * seed driver votes % seed

2.1 * 9 * Denny Hamlin * N/A * N/A vs. 8 * Mark Martin

2.7 * 15 * Terry Labonte * 8 * 50.0% vs. 2 * Jeff Gordon

Seems to me that some folks are defining 'current' as 'last ten races ' and others are defining it as ' last ten years' , some are just voting what the neighbours dog says .

Some I think are looking at the late 80's

Yep, that's what I figured would happen. I define 'current' as the past 1 or 2 years because that's the limit of my attention span.
 
I hope my math is correct and somebody probably has this info in a better format, but if you track the accomplishments of Gordon, Johnson, and Stewart by every 10th win, and Cup titles, by their starts it looks like this:

Race 79 Tony Stewart gets his 10th win
Race 93 Jeff Gordon wins his first championship
Race # 95 Jimmie Johnson wins his 10th race
Race # 96 Jeff Gordon wins his 10th race
Race # 124 Jeff Gordon wins his 20th race
Race 140 Tony Stewart wins his first Championship
Race # 149 Jimmie Johnson wins his 20th race
Race 156 Jeff Gordon wins his 2nd championship
Race # 158 Jeff Gordon wins his 30th race
Race 183 Jimmie Johnson wins his first championship
Race # 186 Jeff Gordon wins his 40th race
Race 189 Jeff Gordon wins his 3rd championship
Race # 209 Jimmie Johnson wins his 30th race
Race 219 Jimmie Johnson wins his 2nd Championship
Race 228 Tony Stewart gets his 20th win
Race # 232 Jeff Gordon wins his 50th race
Race 248 Tony Stewart wins his 2nd Championship
Race # 254 Jimmie Johnson wins his 40th race
Race 255 Jimmie Johnson wins his 3rd Championship
Race 291 Jimmie Johnson wins his 4th Championship
Race 293 Jeff Gordon wins his 4th championship
Race # 296 Jimmie Johnson wins his 50th race
Race 303 Tony Stewart wins his 30th race
Race # 318 Jeff Gordon wins his 60th race
Race 327 Jimmie Johnson wins his 5th Championship
Race # 397 Jimmie Johnson wins his 60th race
Race # 402 Jeff Gordon wins his 70th race
Race 455 Tony Stewart wins his 40th race

I know that's wrong, but that was fun. I'm not sure what it all means though.

Ok how many events were completed by them when they each won their 4th titles.
 
The last of the round 2 polls have been created.
-No one will be eliminated from round 2
-There will be 8 winners, the first 7 are locked into round 3.
-The one with highest vote will be seeded as #1 for round three, 2nd highest vote seeded 2nd all the way down the 7th seed.
-The winner from round 2, with the least votes will be provisionally seeded # 8, and will be part of the B elimination round.

-The driver who looses in round two that has the lowest vote count will be seeded 16th.
- The driver with the next
lowest vote count will be seeded 15th.....all the way to seed #9.

B Elimination round
-Polls B1, B2 & B3 will be open 36 hours
-Beginning with poll B4 the elimination polls will be open for 2 days (believing that interest and participation will only increase as we start to sort through best drivers has led to allowing more time for the undecided voters)
B1 seed 16 vs 15
B2 seed 14 vz B1 winner
B3 seed 13 vz B2 winner
B4 seed 12 vz B3 winner
B5 seed 11 vz B4 winner
B6 seed 10 vz B5 winner
B7 seed 9 vz B6 winner
B8 seed 8 vz B7 winner
The winner of B8 will advance and be seeded; # 8 in round 3.

Round 3 polls will be open for 5 days.
3.1- seed 4 vs seed 5
3.2 -seed 3 vs seed 6
3.3- seed 2 vs seed 7
3.4 -seed 1 vs seed 8
 
I will be away for a few days. Minor nasal surgery for a deviated septum and a bone spur in the morning, but there are polls that will run through Saturday, By Saturday I should be back to posting new polls.
Prayers are needed for good Christian nurses

All the best Greg , I sure hope the guy who broke your nose ended up in worse shape than you. Be kind to the nurses . We'll just have to shut down the forum till you get back.:D
 
Minor nasal surgery? Is that what they're calling it these days? I hear there transgender surgeries aren't as hard to recover from as they once were. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to have a set of breasts to ogle all the time though. :cool:

As others have said..... All the best Greg.
 
Thanks to all leaving for the hosptial now in 10 minutes No problems expected.After they remove the nose packing (whatever its called) maybe I will post those removed innards, aka the afterbirth.

My buddy Shawn had that done a few years ago to correct an issue from being kicked in the face by a horse when he was a kid. Awful looking mess it was - the surgery, that is. He didn't seem to enjoy it but the horse incident did teach him to duck :D

Seems to be a lot of firsthand info there dpk. Is this one of those 'a friend of mine' cover statements to express buyers remorse? ;)

Does it come with a string attached? ;)

Good luck. I had it done, and it isn't fun.
 
Seed/Name/votes/% /* when an asterisk applies an explanation will be provided at the bottom of the list.

1. Jimmie Johnson 20 vote(s) 95.2%
2. Matt Kenseth 19 vote(s) 95.0%
3. Tony Stewart 19 vote(s) 90.5%
4. Jeff Gordon 18 vote(s) 94.7%
5. Kurt Busch 14 vote(s) 66.7%
6, Bill Elliott 11 vote(s) 55.0%*
7. Brad Keselowski 11 vote(s) 55.0%*
8. Mark Martin 10 vote(s) 55.6%
9. Kyle Busch 9 vote(s) 45.0%*
10. Greg Biffle 9 vote(s) 45.0%*
11. Denny Hamlin 8 vote(s) 44.4%
12. Kevin Harvick 7 vote(s) 33.3%
13. Dale Earnhardt Jr 2 vote(s) 9.5%
14. Terry Labonte 1 vote(s) 5.3%
15. Carl Edwards 1 vote(s) 5.0
16. Clint Bowyer 1 vote(s) 4.8%

1. Seeds are set by vote count
2. If the vote is tied the highest % breaks the tie
3. If the vote count and percentage is tied, then the original seed position breaks the tie.
4. Hopefully no repeated matches will occur, but if they do occur in the elimination round the votes in this elimination round will be the only one that counts.
5. If a tie occurs in the elimination round both drivers will advance into the next poll which will as a result be a three way poll.
6. If a tie between the first 8 seeds occurs, they will be seeded in the next round based on the established tiebreakers which will default to the original highest seed position (no one is eliminated in that round and no driver will be eliminated by a tied vote).

*Bill Elliott was originally seeded higher than Brad Keselowski and has the tie breaker
*Kyle Busch was originally seeded higher than Denny Hamlin and gets the tie breaker.

The elimination rounds

B1 Carl Edwards vs. Clint Bowyer
B2 Terry Labonte vs. B1 winner
B3 Dale Earnhardt Jr vs. B2 winner
^the above polls will be set for a 36 hour time limit
The remainder of the elimination rounds will be set for two days.

B4 Kevin Harvick vs. B3 winner
B5 Denny Hamlin vs. B4 winner
B6 Greg Biffle vs. B5 winner
B7 Kyle Busch vs. B6 winner
B8 Mark Martin vs. B7 winner
^ Only one driver from the elimination round will advance to Round 3
