|
This summary data was generated from the output file of a simulated
Derby.
The Derby had a single Division of 25 cars.
The Number of Lanes was set to three (3).
The Elimination Threshold was set to six (6).

Total Number of Derby Races : 37
Elimination Round : 34
Finals Round : 3
|
|
| Estimated Derby Execution Time : 40 minutes
to an hour. (Your mileage may vary!) |

| An Elimination Threshold value of 6, 7, or 8 all guarantee 3
races for each car on a three lane track. Choosing a lower value results
in faster elimination after the minimum number of rounds. Notice that the
number of races and cars falls off rapidly in Rounds 4 and 5. |

| Even in a simulated race, there can appear to be a "fast" lane. Notice
that Lane 1's average finish order and elapsed time is slightly lower than
the other two. In this simulation, the car elapsed times were set to be
fairly close to each other. If more variance between the cars had been
used in the simulation, this effect may have been even more pronounced.
Determining a "significant" variation is a very difficult problem. |
