I love the pictures on both
The diesel category is a good idea.

So, it's America vs the Rest of the World, like usual
I guess that South America is in the New Continent category, though I don't know if I've seen anyone here from SA.

Should we allow people to register for more than one team? I decided against it initially because if it is going to be a little competitive (the idea) we do want to force some decisions and not have two teams like "Team VW" and "Team TDI" basically being the same people.

Also, I'm kicking around an idea for how to do autoposting of new stats from the competition on a weekly/biweekly level.

I think people should be able to join more than 1 team so you can do head to head challenges kind of like the Ultimate Ecomodder Competition (or any number of guys against each other). Percent over EPA is already factored in so running another competition like that would be much easier.

I would "hope" nobody would join two teams in the same level (like Toyota, Chevy, Ford, Honda etc.) as they are grouped by vehicle make and it doesn't make sense.

But, multiple group competitions going on at once would be cool.

Much to consider. Perhaps when I get home on Sunday I will run a poll seeing what people want to do

I've also thought about "categories": Someone could be on both Team Toyota or Honda and Team Hybrid. The Toyotas, Hondas, Fords, etc., would be on one level, while gassers, hybrids, diesels on another. I'm not yet sure how to make this work. But the this is going in the right direction

That's a good idea, actually. It might make more since just because we don't want to be comparing team honda insight to team pick up truck, necessarily

I just joined Team Metro. Too bad I don't drive much, so my numbers won't get updated often. (Or maybe that's a good thing.)
