New Open Competition Format for Finals and Beyond!

USACi Introduces RTA Shootout at World Finals



USACi is excited to announce the introduction of “RTA Shootout” at the 2010 USACi World Finals. RTA Shootout is a format of competition where contestants compete based on the overall “smoothness” of their frequency response curve as calculated by the scorekeeping computer in the Term-LAB Sound Measurement Studio. As in USACI's popular "SPL Shootout" format the competitor with the highest overall score at the end wins.

During competition, each contestant is allocated 1 minute to fine tune the settings on their sound system for the smoothest possible frequency response. At the end of this time, Term-LAB will take a 30 second average of the frequency response. Contestants start with a perfect score of 100 points. Term-LAB will then locate the single largest frequency response deviation that is greater than or equal to 3 DB. The value of this deviation will then be deducted from the contestant’s score. Term-LAB will repeat this process for the second largest deduction. Finally, a deduction of 1 point will be subtracted for each subsequent frequency response deviation that is greater than or equal to 3 dB.

Competitors must play “pink noise” when competing. Winners will be determined by each contestant’s RTA score.

This new format will be open to all competitors at the 2010 USACI Finals in Shreveport and later at all 3X and higher points value events during the upcoming 2011 season.

Awsome...... I will definatly break the vette back out in 2011 for this Ralph hell of an idea . So its not on the old 20 point system... Damn wish i was done with the paint and had someone to tow id bring it to finals this year.... But i promise i will do this at the first triple of 2011 OHHHHHHH SNAP thats my show in DEC kewlio so i guess it an upgrade to the termlab or is it a seperate termlab all together? And if so will every director have one at the triple point shows?



I would say just Finals and Reginal events so we dont tie up the smaller shows it may take a lil time to do this class just a thought bro!! Anyway very exited about this NEW FORMAT
