NOPI has announced a $2500.00 increase in prizes for the NOPI Nationals
Auto-X Tournament at Atlanta Motor Speedway, September 18-19. Winners of
each of the 5 brackets will win an additional $500.00 if their car is
shod with Toyo Tires. Toyo is a major sponsor of NOPI Nationals. This
would make the total winnings $850.00 ($350.00 for winning the bracket
plus $500.00 Toyo contingency) for first place per category.

What is an Auto-X Tournament?

An Auto-X Tournament differs from a standard autocross (Solo II) in that
cars compete against one another in head-to-head matches rather than
against the clock. The two cars in a match start halfway around the
course from each other and compete through the whole course to see who
gets back to his/her own finish line first. Both finish lines are aligned
to clearly show who wins.

Tournament Brackets

The event is a double-elimination tournament. All competitors will be
grouped into one of 5 brackets. Each competitor will remain in the
tournament until he/she loses two matches.

Brackets

NOPI pays a purse for each of 5 brackets. We will be setting up those
brackets based on the actual entries to the event. Below find the
preliminary brackets (Subject to change based on actual entries):

1. DS, GS, HS, ES, ST
2. STU, DSP, STR, BS, CS
3. BSP, SS, ESP, AS, FS
4. AP, BP, EP, Fjr., DP, CP, ASP, CSP
5. AM, BM, F125, CM, EM, FM, DM
