BETTER.ASC - an excerpt from the paper HOW TO RUN A BETTER
PINEWOOD DERBY written by Marc P. Borom of Pack 37, Niskayuna, NY.
Pack 15 of Saratoga Springs, NY, has been using the "Stearns
Method" for several years now and it has been very successful.
When we started using the "Stearns Method" we were only utilizing
four lanes of our six lane track. This prompted me to write a
program that generates racing schedules for any number of lanes
with any number of Scouts. This same program can be used for the
Space Derby, Raingutter Regatta or any other derby your pack uses.
Some of the conditions that the program meets are: every car
races the same number of times, every car races in each round and
every car races in each lane. The program also maximizes the
number of opponents that each car races against. In most cases,
every car races against every other car.
Sample schedules for 2, 4 and 6 lanes follows. On the 6 lane
track, some races will have less than 6 cars but no race will have
fewer than 4 cars. On the 4 lane track, some races will have less
than 4 cars but no race will have fewer than 2 cars. This is to
prevent a car from having an unfair advantage, i.e., when there
are 43 participants and you are using a six lane track, no car
will be in a race with cars 44, 45, 46, 47 and 48. On a two lane
track with an odd number of participants we recommend using a
dummy car, again, no unfair advantage.
The number of races in each round is dependent on the number of
Scouts in the pack and the number of lanes you are using. The
number of rounds is not only dependent on the number of Scouts and
lanes but also on the amount of time you want the meeting to
devote to the actual racing. In our first year of using the
"Stearns Method" we were surprised to find that 96 races were run
in one hour. We ran 12 rounds of 8 races each. If you are
running a slower paced event you can eliminate the last several
rounds. On a six lane track, every car races in each lane by the
end of the 6th round. On a five lane track every car races in
each lane by the end of the 5th round, etc.

If you would like more information or would like us to prepare and
send you a schedule to fit the needs of your pack. Just let us
know the number of Scouts in your pack, the number of lanes you
are using, and how much time you want to devote to actual racing
also send a business size, self-addressed, stamped envelope. We
will send you extra schedules in case the actual number of Scouts
attending is different than what you had originally planned on.
The program can be found in the MichTron Roundtable, M490, under
