This is a concept for a league I plan to do sometime later this year. I have never run a league before, so all this is what I would plan to do.
The question I ask you, the racers, is "is this what you would expect from a league?"
As in, would you expect more detail, different rules, no ballast, different cars, or what? What you say could influence the series depending on what I think. Basically, I'm looking for advice.
Any help would be appreciated
Here it is:
IFDS
The International Front Driven Series - Can you handle the front?
Day/Time: To be decided
Car: FXO
Tracks:
Aston North - 4 Laps - 8 Laps
Fern Bay Green - 9 Laps - 18 Laps
Aston Club - 10 Laps - 20 Laps
South City Chicane R - 9 Laps - 18 Laps
Kyoto National Reverse - 6 Laps - 12 Laps
Race Format:
The weekend starts with a 25 minute qualifying session to decide the grid for race 1 - a short 12 minute sprint.
The results of the sprint race define the starting grid of the second race, a longer 25 minute race. However, the top 10-15 positions will be reversed for the grid of the second race. This means a random draw will be made before the start of race 2, deciding how many cars will be reversed. For example, if the number 13 is drawn, the top 13 finishers of race 1 will start in reverse order, and everyone from 14th onwards will start in the same order they finished.
Points System:
Example scoresheet
The top 10 drivers will receive points - 2 more in race 1 than in race 2.
Race 1
1st - 17
2nd - 14
3rd - 12
4th - 10
5th - 8
6th - 7
7th - 6
8th - 5
9th - 4
10th- 3
Race 2
1st - 15
2nd - 12
3rd - 10
4th - 8
5th - 6
6th - 5
7th - 4
8th - 3
9th - 2
10th- 1
An extra 2 points are awarded for pole position in race 1.
An extra 1 point is awarded for Fastest lap in both race 1 and 2.
An extra 1 point is awarded to anyone who leads either race for at least one lap, except for the winner of either race.
<to be decided>
Ballast:
This series will give ballast to those who are the most successful.
In qualifying and race 1 of the event, ballast is given in the order of the championship standings. This means that the first race of the series will have no ballast at all.
BALLAST MUST BE CARRIED IN QUALIFYING.
In race 2, ballast is given in the finishing order of race 1.
Postion Ballast
1st 17kg
2nd 14kg
3rd 12kg
4th 10kg
5th 9kg
6th 8kg
Score drops:
Your 2 worst race scores will be dropped - this accounts for one weekend of being away or just 2 really bad races.
</to be decided>
General Conduct Rules
Everyone participating must have Ventrilo and must be connected to the server so they can be contacted during the race. Talking on Ventrilo during the race is forbidden. Anyone caught and recognised to be talking in the race will be given a 10 second time penalty to their race result.
Text chat in LFS is allowed. It is up to those who are racing to block messages. Most admin talk will be done in Ventrilo.
Any driving that is deemed to be dangerous, such as blocking the track, going the wrong way and sitting upside down on track will result in the disqualification of the racer, and possibly more serious concequenses depending on the case.
Anyone who has been the victim of an incident must report it to the admin of the event within 48 hours of the event taking place, reporting where and when the incident happened, and who to look at. A decision based upon general accepted racing standards will be made. Penalties will either be time penalties or postion penalties, and even disqualification.
When the grid for Race 2 is being formed, you will be notified to join via Ventrilo. If you fail to join within 15 seconds of your name being called, you will be relegated to the back of the grid. If you fail to join at all, you cannot join mid-race, even from the pitlane on lap 1.
