    Default Dual Powerball Run scoreboard

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering what the interest would be if we were to implement as requested a 'Dual Powerball Run' scoreboard?

    Requirements would be something like this:

    - you can have large deviations between scores (e.g. 11k R & 6k L)
    - you have to start the powerballs yourself (input on this please)
    - video evidence will have to be provided for each submission
    .. more if required

    Regards

    Enda

    I am not sure about this starting requirement. Obviously, I do start the powerballs myself at least once, but on subsequent videos I won't restart them again (I keep them going for a minute at low speeds before I do another run). So, it will be hard to proof that I started those myself.

    But maybe I have an additional requirement. It must be clear from the video that the powerball counters are reset to lower values than the values achieved at the end of the run.

    Best regards,

    The Force

    I'd participate I expect.

    The Force, I'm sure you can start the Powerballs yourself, even when you have two in one hand...you could always go back to using the string.

    There's no real way to decide how fast the other person (starter) is allowed to spin the powerball before handing it over. I would agree that both counters must be shown to read '0' at the start of the run.

    I think though for many users the option to start with a string would have to be there.

    Regards

    You do not understand what I mean. I mean that for the first run I can easily show that I started the powerballs myself, but for all subsequent runs, the powerballs already run :-), so then I would not to stop them each time and then start them again. That's a little bit silly. Understand what I mean?

    Regards,

    Ah yes The Force, I was thinking of what you said about doing a Quadruple-Run, (two in each hand), in that you said you'd have to get someone else to start them for you.

    I agree, all that should be necessary is that the counters are shown to be zeroed, with any currently stored high score displayed as well.
