Rules

There will be a qualifaction period of 15mins, and two sprint races
Qualification : This is an open qualifying system, that means that can pit at anytime, by any means available to you.

You are allowed to RESET, if you are stuck against a wall, inverted, or any other situation that might make it impossible to get back on the track, you are permitted to warp to pits if you are stuck and can't move.

The league will always start on Tuesdays at 19.30 GMT/UTC.
The idea of the league is simple, fun racing.
You will find the results, standings and replays in the Adaptive MRT Challenge forum
All times are GMT/UTC.

General Rules:

Drive clean and fair.

Car Selection:

-You must choose the MRT

Track conditions:

- Track conditions will not change, it will always be still and calm.

Chatting:

- Chatting MUST be limited during the main race, only sorry or likewise being allowed.
- You can block messages in the main race, but be aware that this will also block messages that may help you in avoiding a penalty.

Disconnection:

- If you got a disconnection during the race you can not rejoin the race but you can spectate.

Reset:

- Resetting is allowed if you are stuck against a wall, inverted, or in any other situation that makes getting back on the trakc impossible, if you are stuck, or inverted you must Shift-P back to the pits.

Restarts

- The race WILL NOT be restarted under ANY circumstances

Yellow and Blue Flags:

- Respect the yellow and blue flags, due to the MRT's lack of reverse gear, you may find people stuck against the wall under a yellow, therefore you must be wary when you encounter a yellow flag..
- No overtaking during Yellow flag (except the car/s that caused the yellow Flag).
- If you accidentally passed someone under yellow, you must let him pass you again ASAP!
- Drivers must use caution and be prepared to slow down under Yellow Flag conditions.
- When the Yellow Flag disappears from your screen you can overtake again.
- When you got a Blue Flag let the faster car/s pass you easily as fast as possible.

Race Starts:

- Remember to close all unnecessary programs and websites in the background (like MSN, LFS World etc.) before you race! Because these things take away a bit of your Internet bandwidth and this could cause lag (timeouts) for you and the other racers on a server.
- There are no restarts of the race - no matter what.
- Main race starting order is the result from qualifying, race 2's order is reverse top 10 from race 1.

Pit Stops:

- There is NO forced pit-stop in the race, you can of course do a pitstop if your car is damaged.

Race Penalties summary:

- If you come too late and join after the qualifying has started = Your starting position will be the end of the grid.
- Wrong Passing under Yellow (and don't give the place back immediately) = You'll placed behind the driver you passed in the final results of that race (be warned If he DNF you also DNF because you'll be placed behind him!).
- Rejoining a race / joining an ongoing race will also end in a DSQ.
- All other things that are actually not in this list can of course be penalized by the Admins after the race (i.e. reckless driving, pushing someone out of his pit, etc.)

Points:

- Qualifying winner = 1 Point
- Race:
Position 1 = 26
Position 2 = 23
Position 3 = 20
Position 4 = 18

Signing up

Please signup in the sign up thread, in this format.

LFS License name : danowat
Ingame name : [AR] D.Watkins

I would prefer if people used real names as there ingame name if possible.

Divisions/Maximum cars

If there are less than 16 drivers, we will have a single pool, should the amount of drivers exceed 16 (up to a maximum of 32), we will run 2 pools, and on tracks that allow 32 drivers (Aston & Fern Bay) we will run them together.

Any drivers that signup after we have more than 32 drivers signed up will be placed into the reserve pool, and will be allowed to race should there be room.
If there are 2 pools, will Pool 2 be running for 3, 2 and 1 points for effectively 17th, 18th and 19th?
No, both pools with by running for the same points.

Not sure how well it will work, but I can't think of a better/easier/fairer way to do it......

Reset:

- Resetting is allowed if you are stuck against a wall, if you are stuck, or inverted you may Shift-P back to the pits.


Just nit-picking

This should read:

Resetting is allowed if you are stuck against a wall.

If you are stuck, or inverted you MUST Shift-P back to the pits.


Is this correct?
Yup, fair point

so you can't park it deliberately against a wall and reset - thats purely down to luck then. (BTW feel free to delete these posts Dan to keep the Rules page clean )
