I'm sort of in the same boat.. time is running out and I'm not sure I'll be able to do enough runs before year end, plus ticket prices are now going into holiday rates.

I'm currently E with 18K and 32 segments (less than half of last year.. slow year)..

Wondering about how the early qualification works.. is it just during their normal monthly sweeps that they would give me early recognition for Elite again? Just wondering If I get all my runs in by mid Feb when would I get the new early elite?

Also was reading the 50% elite bonus part and wanted to clarify.. this means that during the 2011 year I would not get the 50% bonus as it's actually a 2012 qualifications?

Thank you all.
