NESPL 2010 Rules discussion

[SPL Blazer]

Since most of the NESPL competitors are also on this forum I thought it best to post a thread on here to gain some feedback on the rules and class changes for the 2010 season. We have made some changes to all the Amateur, Stock and No Wall classes, including dropping the Stock 4 class and adding another Amateur class. Click on the two links below and check out the new rules for 2010, then post any questions you may have on them. Let us know what you think, good, bad or whatever.

are the amateur classes by clamped wattage?

[ecac06]

could i run ss2 or do i not have the power to?

[ecac06]

its kinda confusing

[SmokeyDog]

could there be a no wall non superstock class in the case where a amture competor who plans on improveing or wants to play tones but keeping an encloser that is over the window line but is not ready to upgrade to 18v
becuse the amture classes let you have a box 3 inches over the window line.

are the amateur classes by clamped wattage?

It's based on the rated power of the amp. Doing it based on clamped power would be great, but also too time consuming to do with every Amateur competitor in the lane.

You can do no wall using a 12v system its just that the max is 18.1v. I like the new changes.

could i run ss2 or do i not have the power to?

You could run SS2 if you wanted to, there are no power limits on it and no class has a minimum amount of power. The only classes with any kind of power limits are the Amateur classes.

Like ACT said, you can do the SS No Wall with anything under 18.1 volts, even an Amateur can do that class, but it is geared more towards the competitors that are advancing up from the Stock classes and want to run more power, batteries and amps and not be required to build a wall.

Looks good stseve like all the changes very detailed, and straight to the point. i like how you did the am 2 & 3 classes will really allow a fair playing field and room for new comers to get into the sport.

I wanted to add another Amateur class and spread things out a little better for the new competitors. I want to keep the 1000 watt limit for the lowest class, but limit the others to 2K. Since we'll also be running some shows for TNESPL in 2010 I want to try and keep our power limits and rules fairly close to theirs, it'll make things easier for the Amateurs to compete in both formats without having to buy different equipment.

[splmegavan]

yeah that makes alot of sense steve keep all the nespl and tnespl close so we can do both, 2010 will be awesome, the new rules will help and keep everything organized.
