What was explained in the drivers meeting for qualifying was this:
1 run for practice. Then drivers come right back up and go immediately into their first judged qualifying run. The entire field runs through under that process (1 practice run, 1 qualifying run) When the first driver gets back up to the front of the line when all other competitors had gone we would look at the time and if time allowed for it we would have a secondary practice run immedialtely followed by the second judge qualifying run. Due to time we did not have time for a secondary practice run prior to the secondary qualifying run so drivers went right into the secondary qualifying run.
Scores are based on the BEST of two runs. Worst run gets thrown out. Qualifying determines who you compete against in the Top 16. !st place qualifier vs 16th place qualifier 2nd vs 15th and so on.

More than two drivers took that as "both runs for round 1 were being judged". Myself included. Tyler too.
I think, at least for the last event, it should be made abundantly clear THROUGH ONE PERSON the rules of qualifying. This same person should also be the one that is out at the staging area with drivers.
And I wouldn't bring this up if it was just affecting me... but more than one person knew what I knew. And frankly I don't want to see someone elses chances in Formula D to win be compromised by conflicting information.
