Tier System

● Amount of leagues
Each tier contains one league. The amount of tiers/leagues each platform runs depends on the amount of drivers signing up at the start of the season.
All of the tiers will be running the Ginetta G40 GT5 car.


● Driver placements
In the event of multiple leagues on one platform, the aim is to have the faster drivers in the higher league(s) and slower drivers in the lower league(s).
All drivers will have to do the time trial in order for us to be able to place them in a league suited for their speed.
Link to each platform's time trial thread can be found in the sign up area here: XB1 / PS4 / PC.

​

● Livery selection process
At the start of the season, after the leagues and driver placements have been announced, a thread will be opened within each league's subforum where livery selection will take place.


● Team Registration Process
After the leagues and driver placements have been announced, a thread will be opened within each league's subforum where Team Registration will take place.
-You can team up with your friends/rivals/fellow racers and come up with a sensational team name! (Within reason!)
-There is a maximum of 2 drivers per team. Teams must run identical cars and liveries from the same team if available.
-Drivers are not forced to join forces with someone, but are encouraged to. If someone does not join a team, you will solely score in the Driver Championship.
-A team can be formed mid-season should a new driver join the league and team up with an existing racer. All existing points from the established driver will be transferred to the newly formed team.
-Drivers may not switch teams mid-season.

In the case of drivers being tied on points in the standings, the higher position will be awarded to the holder of most first places. If the number of first places is the same, the holder of most second places, then third places, and so on until a winner emerges.

Disconnection Guidelines

● Disconnections
If a driver loses connection during qualifying, they will be invited back into the lobby to continue from where they left off.

If a driver loses connection in the transition from qualifying to race, or during the race, that is tough luck, and unfortunately nothing can be done about that.

We do our best to ensure that the best available connection in the lobby acts as the lobby host, so any connection issues are normally a result of a fault on the disconnecting driver's end. Please ensure that your internet connection is fine, and that your NAT type is open, before entering the race lobby.

If you still encounter issues with a particular host, let your coordinator know.

● Mass disconnections
If 4 (or more) drivers lose connection to the lobby during the transition from qualifying to the race, the lobby will be restarted and the race will be started with a manual rolling start, where drivers will use the first lap of the race to line up in a double file formation based their qualifying positions. Proper concentration and cooperation from the drivers are required to make this work.

The coordinator of the league will make sure everybody is aware of their position - this may take some time.

During the race, if half (or more) of the drivers in a race lose connection at the same time, or over a short period of time, that counts as a mass disconnection.

If less than 50% of the race was completed at the time of the mass disconnection, the race will be restarted immediately, preferably with a new lobby host. If several drivers are unable to restart the race at that time, the race will be rescheduled for a later date.

If more than 50% of the race was completed at the time of the mass disconnection, the race will end, and the race order from the time of the first disconnection becomes the final result. Half points are awarded to all drivers.

If more than 90% of the race was completed at the time of the mass disconnection, the race will end, and the race result will be declared as the order at the time of the first disconnection.

Who to contact

​

For league related enquiries or questions, your first point of contact should be a staff member within the league you are assigned to - preferably the League Coordinator. Upon joining a league, it will be made clear who your League Coordinator is.

Example reasons to contact them could be:
● To inform them that you're missing a race
● To get information about your league
● If you are unhappy about something, either with regards to a race or on the forums

If you have an issue with your League Coordinator and would rather discuss the issue with someone else, then seek out another person from the below list and address the issue to them. Our Coordinators and Moderators are expected to remain completely unbiased, and as long as you address the situation sensibly and maturely they will be happy to discuss any issues no matter who it is with.
