Quote from Fors :will there be a revoting or just removing him from the comp?

There won't be re-voting. I think in this situation we can clearly see the winner and even if we had re-vote, I doubt that it would have changed anything. If the votes would have been really close between the first/second place, then I could think of a re-vote, but not this time.

It would be pretty annoying to PM everyone. It wouldn't work well and it's time taking. Especially when many of the drivers don't check this forum too often.
Giving password to representatives doesn't really change the fact, that people who didn't qualify can still come to the server. With "random people" I didn't just mean people from abroad, also people from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania who are not supposed to be in the race.

And password is set just before the start, so I don't really see what's the difference. If a person can't make it, then he shouldn't qualify for the race etc. It's not like I will set the password 10 minutes before the race. I will set it ~30 seconds before the race start, so I don't see any problem.
And there is also a rule to be in server at least 10 minutes before the race to set up the grid, so don't be late.

2 new rules have been added.

Quote from andro. :3.3. Each race will start with a "lag lap". There will be a restart before the race leader finishes his first lap.

9.7. Server password will be changed right before the race start when the grid sorting is finished. The new password will be told in the server right before it is changed. This will be done to prevent random people joining the server during the race, because the server password is always told on public forum where anyone is able to see it. Also, that means you can't be late for the race or you won't be able to get in the server.

Yes, true.
I checked all of the unknown voters. 90% of them are Demo racers from Bulgaria, and some of them have just registered during the past few days. The rest is pretty obvious to everyone.

nikec is disqualified from the voting and is not allowed to participate for the next 3 competitions, so basically for competition #86, #87 & #88.
I think I don't need to explain the reason here.

Thanks for coming everyone who came. Wasn't waiting for that many drivers for a test race. Everything went pretty smooth without any problems, so I hope the season will continue in similar way.
See you in Round 1. The official results will be posted later.
Penalties will be given though for this race, just so you can see what you/others did wrong and prepare for the season.

Some rules will be added to rule book to make some things clearer.

Timezone: UTC

Qualification just like last season, we don't have exact dates for them, but you allowed to upload them without giving a date.
And I don't know exact amount of laps for races since half of the combos are on open config and it would take a lot of time now to find out ~ lap count for those since I don't know what's the ~ lap time on those combos.

Quote from TypeRacing :I recommend to refine this rule a little bit. At the moment, if you get DSQd, it will be dropped. I think DSQ should'nt count as drop round.

E: Aslo drop round should'nt count if driver isn't allowed to drive(as penalty from organizers)

Yes, true. Hadn't thought about that, but it's fixed now, thanks.
Quote from andRo. :*Rule 9.6. does not drop rounds, where the least points per round is caused by disqualification, ban or penalty* from the race. *By penalties meaning penalties where you have been forbidden to attend the race for some reason, and not the time or point penalties given after the race.

It means that if for example: You miss 2 rounds, those rounds won't be counted into consideration in your standings. And for the person who has finished every race, the 2 rounds will be the rounds with the least points he gained per race. So basically, those points won't be taken in consideration, they will be subtracted from his total standings points. That means, you have a better chance to fight for your position in standings even if you were not able to compete in each race for some reason (real life etc.).

Because a lot of the times, people lose their position because they are not able to attend some of the races. This will help you to keep your position, makes you more motivated to race then, makes a bit fairer standings IMO.

Is it clear now? I was typing fast, so might not be clear by what I wrote. If it's not, I'll explain later.

Quote from kart-36 :Somthing needs to be done with this FE2 thing... Its worse than doing real hotlap. You cant use all the track at s/f line because it says you have gone off the path (even though i do it every time i hotlap FE2)
Ive seen people hit the tyres in T1 and still have their lap counted, as soon as i hit it it goes invalid

I hope somthing gets done because IMO its just unfair and just dam right sucky to drive on.

I did 40 laps yesterday and not even once my lap was not counted or was invalid, so maybe the tracker doesn't like you.
I didn't have any problem with it, lovely combo.

Quote from ImudilaSkyline :Is the test race going to be streamed?

I am not sure. Basically, I don't want to force Tommy to stream this race since it's just a test race and it's procedure is slightly different from the official season races.
But if Tommy decides he wants to get a practice and see if everything works for him, then of course he can stream the event. But it's not obligatory for this race.

Time: 21:00 (UTC +3)
  • 21:00 - Qualification (20min)
  • 21:30 - Race (~30min)
Car(s): XRG+XFG
Track: SO5 (South City Town)
Laps: 18
Server name: Tiger Express Motorsports
Server password: bc12

Just like every year, this year we are also going to have a test race before the season start. This is just to check the server, our organization due to the fact the rules have changed and also for you to get more used to the new rules.
There will be no separate pre-qualification for this race. This is just a test race, so anyone from Baltic states can attend the race as long as there is place in the server.

All the rules apply for this race as for the official season. So, there should be correct name format etc.

Feel free to discuss or ask questions.

This rounds theme is... "Arcade Gameplay"

Round rules: (made by TypeRacing, these will not be changed)
Make an LFS image to look like arcade gameplay. It should also contain HUD effect.

Examples:

Cars: All
Tracks: All

Quote :Competition rules:
  • When you have finished your picture and want to enter it into the competition, please write 'Final Entry' in the relevant post.
  • You must provide a preview picture (no bigger than 400 x 400 pixels) as well as the High Resolution picture. (The preview picture does not have to be exactly 400 x 400 pixels - it can be smaller to maintain the correct aspect ratio [for example, 400 x 300 pixels])
  • No renders, old images or VOB MODS to be used.
  • You may incorporate external non-LFS images into your work, but you MUST give a link to any images used.
  • You MUST NOT use any LFS screenshot material that does not belong to you. (You are not even allowed to ask others to take a picture for you etc., everything has to be done by you.)*
  • During the voting, you are FORBIDDEN to get more votes in an unfair way. (Asking your team members, friends etc. to vote for you.) If I find out, your image will be removed from the voting and you will not be allowed to take part in the competition. (For how long, that is to be decided by me.)
  • All pictures MUST be uploaded to LFSForum.net, so basically in the attachments. (Other uploading websites are not allowed to be used.) (This is because of the fact, that after some time, the other websites get shut down and pictures in hall of fame or old threads disappear and we can never get to see them again..
  • The winner of the round should explain how he made his edit. This is not a MUST rule, but it would be great for the beginners and also others to learn and see new things. (This means, giving 2-4 images of the steps, the raw screenshot etc. telling the techniques and tools used.)
  • Any entries that will be ignoring 1 or more rules listed above, will not be accepted.

* If these rules are ignored, then the person might be forbidden to take participation in the competition for some time.

Anyone is allowed to post their pictures and take participation in the competition as long as the rules are obeyed.

Competition closes on THURSDAY, 29.09.2011. at 21:00 GMT.


BONUS *FUN* RULES:

- You must obey the rules
