Ok i just tried to duel a car, but i was told that all 150 places were full. OK that's fair enough, this is a very popular site afterall. So i go to the showroom challenge page, and i read:

Currently running: 25 :: Upcoming: 108.

Now i havn't done maths in a very long time, and when i did i wasn't much good at it. So i used the very little maths skills i have, and used a method called addition. I even got out my calculator to work it out, and yeah the answer i got was 133. If that is wrong then please by all mean correct me.

So then, where are the other 17 slots (uses calculator just to make sure). - <<< for this calculation i used what is called the subtraction method, which is a little more complex.

Let me know if any of you guys can help, thank very much.

I think they are challenges waiting to be accepted or rejected... Well it's my guess they actually take a full slot like any upcoming challenges. With that difference that they won't always take about 100 hours to free their slot, in the case they are rejected

Been trying to get one of my cars in for a challenge all day long, no luck. Is there a trick to it? Am I missing something? How do I know when one of those backed up 150 slots is vacated?

Wanting to take part,

Sometimes there are even more than 150 slots filled (eg 156). How is this possible

I just had a look (AGAIN) in the SRChallenge mainpage and I read

Currently running: 30 :: Upcoming: 103

So that makes 133 slots filled and 17 open.

I wanted to challenge a car and then it said all slots are filled


I agree with what "Wolrajh" ("challenges waiting to be accepted or rejected")

I've also been trying to challenge some peolple for a few weeks now, but I never got the chance to do so.

Me too, I got a 7 I want to challenge as my first duel.
But it is all filled up, drunk.
I even waited for one to go away, and then hit challenge in the instant second it went completed, no go.

Maybe we should have a some sort of "Holding pattern" where you can add your challenge and as soon as a slot is availible it will automatically entered.
There will be a lot of lag though (Long time before the challenges pops out) but it can be reduced slightly by increasing the timing intervals on the duels.

If we do that, the holding patter will get filled up and you'd have to:

a) wait to get in there
b) wait weeks for your duel to get on


The way things are currently, it should be a problem to get in. Duels are less than an hour apart (expect for once a day when they're up to 10 hours apart). All you have to do is check when most will end and send your challenge then.

What I ment by holding pattern is that you kind of send a request that you want to join a duel on the nearest availible slot.
The pattern is infinitly large but like you said, b) will be in effect unless you drastically changes the timings between the duels. 5 minutes for an example, or 3.

But that would mean 288 duels a day.
And that's way too much

It's still to be decided if the system will be changed so the max # of duels in a day would be 48 and a duel stared on every 30min.

that may be a good idea^^^
i like the sound of it.
