what is REALLY wrong with patch W to use it for a month of nice/mayhem racing? there's nothing more to say! don't discuss, stamp rules! 'til tomorrow!

The only problem is we only had 30 people commit to the league,

if 40 people had supplied hotlaps then it would not have been a problem and we could run 2 full classes of 20.

I hope more people will re-confirm there interest in the next few days..

then we can run current fully approved game rather than hanging fire to latest 'patch'

Well i can understand the 30 hotlaps situation, but as you say there has been people coming into this section of the forum asking if they can join, and i guess some were stupid and thought it didnt really matter or just havent come back to check.

Quick rant:
IMO a sticky should be put at the top of all these series forums reminding people about the setting to subscribe to a sub-forum, this then informs you of all posts made that day, so if a new thread is created or an existing one has been replied to then you'll get 1 email at midnight saying which threads are new and which are updated, it means you get a constant update on any changes without getting a ton of spam.
/rant

I still think a deadline should be set, so that based on circumstances at a specified time a decision as to how the league is structured is made.
If Patch X isnt available by XX/XX then we wait 1 week/start the series with Patch W.


Just to be annoying, ive had 27 years of practice....
What happens if another 8 people say they want to race in the next few days and then Patch X is released??
X with 28 drivers and telling 9 to get f**ked
X with 19 & 19 drivers in 2 divisions? (or perhaps split at a noticable gap in laptimes if possible)


I would still like to say that i hope X will be available to use in the series, but im just hoping that we dont hold the series up waiting for a patch, hopefully it wont become the UF1 June-hem series

Thanks for your comments Paul, they are valued
unfortunately it is becoming confusing, catering for whos commited rather than who originally signed up therefore we have been doing a bit of thinknig about what would be best fro those involved.

take a look at recent posts last night in this thread and the revised entry sheet.

that way we have 2 divisions, can race SO sprint 1 and 2 and be playing on a known good version of LFS.

the top and bottom of this post has been changed to reflect the situation.

A decision must be reached by Wednesday evening so the race/test session this thursday can be completed using the same server etc that will be used in the cup starting next next week.

I want to hear about anybody who thinks this is NOT a good idea?

Guys, you really need to remember that in this sort of league, a lot of drivers generally won't turn up. The number of sign-ups, in my experience, doesn't represent the number of committed racers.

I don't think that 40 sign-ups is anywhere near enough to support two divisions over the course of a season.
