Because the problem was not our system, thats why we not restarted immediately.
We don't know what happend. Before we can restart the race we must know whats the problem und how we can fix that... do you understand that?
In this case, you raced the 10 minutes in which we search the problem. Otherwise you had to wait the 10 minutes. Whats better in this case?
Waiting people talk all the time to admins, when there will be the restart, whats the problem ... while all racing we hat enough time and privacy to find the problem and decide what is to do.
Well sorry, but if you planing your race to finish at point 23.00 german time, than this is your fault! If you decide to race in a league in the internet then don't be so green and calculate your time tight like this... thats not the fault of admins...
We have tried to do our best for everyone. This is the first time that i admining such a league i must learn such things... we couldn't know, that the connection lost was an bug in masterserver at this time...
Be sure, at 23.00 german time i had planned to drike a bottle of beer with my teammates and adminmates and not racing about 30 minutes longer
I think we didn't fail. We didn't restartet the race. We startet the race completly new.
The Problem was found about 10 minutes after start of the race. We tryed to fix the masterserver connection, but this was impossible without a server reboot and so we decided 10 mins later to start the race completly new.
Some racers would change drivers but couldn't this do, as result of this problem. We have decided to start the race completly new, to give all teams a fair chance.
Don't flame me now with posts like "but the other teams *whine*". Is completly wayne to me. We would avoid that the result will be forged by server problems, at point of restart the race, this was already the case for some teams.

Well we have a live tracker system this time on our server.
But we will decide at saturday, whether we will publish the livestats for public-access or not.
We are using this system first time and do not know how the raceserver respond to much access on the webserver and tracker database.
But i think, the patch with scirocco will be never relased. shame on the devs, they don't call to their community and i'am sad about that thing, not about the delay...
Well Amateur League means not, that all drivers in this league are amateurs. Some guys are fast enough for igtc or moe, but don't have get a raceslot there
Well yes, the decision in this case was maybe a little hard, but with this much protests its not easy to handle all decision's 100% correct. We are only humans they do this as good as we can.
Once set decision will never be revoked and so it must be accepted that we have set a penalty in our point of view in this situation.
