Keep on Truckin' (Final -- Winner: benga)

[flexmaster33]

Hi all, leg #11 has been sent out and the tables have been updated...I'll post a fresh driver's map on Monday.

benga reached Denver (his 2nd destination city) in the last leg, knocking out Krissan and nemrehs1 and leaving only four drivers in the Heartland group.

[flexmaster33]

Leg #12s have been sent and maps and driver's tables are updated.

The Northern route is down to four drivers with BrotherWolf and amazzony losing their rigs on that last leg. Benga remains our overall leader with 2,381 miles put in...he is closing in on his third destination city.

[amazzony]

It really wasn't my fault.... You know, there was this huge bear jumping to the road and I had nothing to do than make a fast turn and it ended up with my truck in the ditch

Thank you for the tournament, flex, as always, yours are pleasant to play in!

Good luck to the better truckers on your road!

[flexmaster33]

Driver's tables updated...no new eliminations...I'll get Leg #13 out late tonight...good luck all

Have you updated the mileage, on the map it shows me in 3rd place on my route, but on the mileage/map chart it shows i'm still on dust dowl map, even though we are in game together on Great Lakes. Thanks Flex

[flexmaster33]

Yes, they are updated...as for maps, you play on the settings of the driver that is highest on the list in your game...in your case, I'm on the Great Lakes map, that's why we're playing on that one.

[flexmaster33]

sorry all...Memorial Day weekend and the day after have been crazy...should get updates and new games out tonight.

[flexmaster33]

Fresh map and drivers' tables...Leg 13 is complete and Leg 14 is going out in a few moments.
If you're still getting games, you have finished in the top half of this tourney...congrats.

Two eliminations in the last round with fromdahood and myself going out on the Rockies route...after leading just a few weeks ago, a three-map losing streak left me 11 miles short in our closest elimination yet. Coacheberhardt reached Omaha to put the elimination in effect.

Also, aligator_al and ga7 went down on the Southern Route, as sportsgod24 rolled through El Paso, Tex, on his way across the country.

That leaves four drivers in each group.

[benga]

oh yes after this change of map
USA map gives me only grief

[flexmaster33]

Leg #14 is complete except for one Southern map...Leg #15s have been sent out...no recent eliminations. Benga remains the overall leader, although struggles on the USA map have tightened the gap. Of course, he is onto the Civil War map now, and may be able to get his groove back.

I did, I did

[flexmaster33]

Maps and tables have been updated....Leg #16s are sent out. I'll try to get Leg #17s out later this week before going to DisneyLand for a week (woohoo!!!)

Two eliminations on the last batch with adam666 and jsholty4690 biting the dust up north, while DresdenSooner and ultraman were left on the side of the road on the Heartland route.

That leaves us with 12 total drivers.

NOTE: The 2 surviving drivers in the North and Heartland will be playing each other until the Rockies and Southern routes hit their third destination and routes begin to merge. At that point the North and Rockies come together & the Heartland and the South come together.

[flexmaster33]

I'm in DisneyLand through next week, so no new updates on this tourney until Saturday, June 26.

[flexmaster33]

All right all, I am back...tables and the road map have been updated.

coacheberhardt and NotNowKato were the latest victims, as their brakes went out coming down the Rockies leaving them off the side of the road. That leaves us with 10 drivers going for the title.

Up North, the Northern Pass and Rocky Mountain Route have merged in a race for North Carolina. Ess # miw is our new overall lead, taking over the pace-setter spot from benga by 63 miles.

Down South benga's has been slowed with peanutman mashing down on the accelerator with back-to-back wins.

One ongoing game in the Leg #17 set with jrh_cardinal and woolleyy trying to pick up some ground.

I'll be sending Leg #18 in a moment.
good luck, everyone.

[flexmaster33]

Some key matches still going on in the Southern route, so I'll give those a few days to finish and get out the next leg Monday most likely.

Enjoy your 4th of July weekend everyone

[flexmaster33]

Shaneback just rolled through Houston, Tex. to eliminate jrh_cardinal and woolleyy on the Southern States route...that leaves us with eight drivers on the push to Miami.

The Southern and Heartland routes have also converged.

Benga is just 63 miles from Birmingham and the next pit stop in the South, while danryan is just 67 miles from Charlotte in the North.

The top two in each the North and South at the next pit stop will make up the final four-driver push to Miami and the tournament title.

good luck, flex

[flexmaster33]

We are moving this weekend, so I'm in internet limbo for a few days...I may squeeze in one more update late tonight, but it will be pretty sparse until we get internet hooked up at the new house early next week.

thanks for understanding, flex

[plash.ricrem]

Flex, I hope your move went well! If I've done my math right (always not a certainty), I think I've avoided elimination up north for at least one more encounter. Of course the problem is, I'll still need to gun the accelerator to have any chance of passing Danryan or Ess before they make it to Charlotte.

[flexmaster33]

Map and tables are updated with one active map in Leg #19 ongoing....however it appears benga and peanutman will be the surviving drivers in the South once benga finishes Leg 19.

The Northern pass remains tight with all four drivers still in the mix for the two spots. The cut should happen on Leg 20 with danryan only 21 miles out of Charleston.

good luck as we head toward the finish. Party on South Beach!!! Oh yes, Nike is calling...can someone deliver LeBron a load of sneakers???

[danryan]

So glad we're getting out of the Citadel. Hard map to win quickly.

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to our four finalists...danryan, benga, peanutman and plash.ricrem as they make the final push toward Miami. Driver's table is updated to show the final four.

[Electricksabers]

Flex, thanks for another fun tourney. I know these take a lot of work and just wanted to let you know they are appreciated

SB

[flexmaster33]

thanks shaneback...I have fun running them.

In fact, look for a Little League World Series team format event coming soon.

[flexmaster33]

the table and driver's map are updated...danryan continues to lead the charge and at 185 miles out from Miami he is within realistic striking distance of hitting the final destination on any leg.

good luck, all

Matchups for Leg 23 are going out in a moment...
danryan vs. plash.ricrem
benga vs. peanutman

[flexmaster33]

Truckin' table is updated through Leg #22...peanutman is our new leader just 118 miles out from Miami. Should be a tight race for the finish. Will Leg #23 crown a champion driver?
