GPRM TieBreaker

Post by dna1990 »

While testing GPRM 8 for the season, I purposely made for a Tie in a particluar group.

In the Racing screen, I see the Test/TieBreak group as an option, and it gives the typical Racer1-4.

However, if I select Manual Heat, I get an error - No Racers Have Yet Passed Inspection. I do have racers in registration as Passed in this group as well as others.

Am I using the TieBreak group appropriately to run an ad-hoc run-off?

I'm surprised that the Manual Heat button is enabled when you have the "Test / Tie Break" group selected. This is only meant for quick tests or run offs. No data is actually saved. No "Test / Tie Break" group actually exists. I'll have that fixed in the next update.

Make sure you review the tie breaking section in the help file. It goes through several ways you can try to break a tie.
