DETAILED RULES:
read them at your own risk, but don't
complain to me if you haven't done it :)
The Rules:
- modification of the rules is not likely to happen during the season, and if it can occur only after a vote/opinion ask in the forum
- if anything is unclear ask the race administrator
The Schedule:
- A season lasts for one year, and consists of 12 races.
- All times and dates on the site are in GMT+1, it's the official time zone of the competition :)
- Every track lasts for about one month minus one day (to allow time for updates). Exact starting and ending dates are always announced on the site.
- Track deadline is 20:00 on the last day of the track. Replays RECEIVED after that time are invalid.
- Last two days of each track are called 'quiet days'. No updates on the scoreboard are made then, except if you send your time public.
- Leading time calculation starts only on the 4th day of each month. If the track is available earlier, leading time is not calculated.
- Leading-time calculation lasts until the start of the quiet days.
The System:
- Every racer should send his own replays with the web form after he has registered
- Current scoreboard is generated automatically each time you check it
- Seasonal scores are refreshed each time a new replay was submitted.
- The admin can change ANY TIME your submitted result after checking the replay if you have been cheating.
- Any form of system abuse results in the banning from the competition
Teams:
- It's highly recommended for you to join or form a team. It greatly improves your racing skills, and your motivation to race.
- Teams consist of minimum 2, maximum 4 racers.
- You can join any team if allowed, but if you joined one, you can't leave it through the year, only with losing all your team points.
- When you join a team, and you didn't have one before all your previous results count as the team's too.
- If you form a new team, every member must send me a confirmation email, and the team's name, possibly a team logo.
- Team members may share their knowledge or replays, but it's forbidden to race in the name of an other teammate, or to use a part of your mate's replay for continuing.
- I gladly host any team headquarter site on the server, if there's a need for it.

- Newbie racers receive points in the newbie league the same way.
- Racers below the 12th place receive point fractions in order to make possible having rankings between them too.
- Leading Time Bonus (LTB):
The system tracks how much you were on the top of the scoreboard. The one with the most time gets +2 bonus points, the one with the second most time gets +1 bonus point each month. To earn a bonus point you must have at least 48 hours leading time, if you have below this value, you won't get the point.
Car Coefficient Bonuses:
- Your result sent will be always multiplied with the coefficient. The coefficients can not change during a track.
- Negative bonus is also possible.
- The following modifications are made to the coefficients after each track:
If a car was not used in a race by drivers finished in the top12 (in the final classification) it's coefficient is raised by +1%.
If in the next race the car is again unused within the same conditions, it gets +2%, if again +3%. This amount is the maximal bonus applicable.
All the positive bonus is summarized, and the same amount is distributed between the winner cars the following way:Winner car 50% Second on podium 30% Third on podium 20% - Extra modifications can be made by the competition manager during the first week of the race, if the balance of the cars is broken. Modifications can't affect the leading position.
Seasonal Scoring:
- Your seasonal score is the summary of the points you earned on the tracks + your bonuses earned
- Your four worst results don't count at the season's rankings.
- Bonus points (Endurance Bonus) are awarded for frequent racers who participate in more than 8 races per season. After the completing additional races, bonus points are awarded as follows:
- Upon completing the 9th race in a season - +1 points.
- Upon completing the 10th race in a season - +2 points.
- Upon completing the 11th race in a season - +3 points.
- Upon completing the 12th race in a season - +6 points. These bonus points do not affect the monthly scoreboards or the team scores, but accumulate and are included in the seasonal scores. So for example a racer participating on all tracks gets +12 points.
Most Important Rule:
- ENJOY RACING! ;)
