Modifications needed for Soap Box Derby Racing

[ccochranderby]

FYI...This is a great jquery plugin. We need something like this for Soap Box Derby Racing but it would have to do the following:

1. Account for the Top 8 (We race off for 5-8 as well)
2. Allow for decimals in the score field (0.080, 0.101, etc.). Typically we run two phases per race. The time difference would be added to winners score and the losers would remain at 0.
3. We sometimes run 3 lanes and would need a 3rd field for the extra racer. There would still be only 1 winner.

Any suggestions on where/how to make these changes? Thank you!
