have a 3 race probation period before their application is excepted.
* WE will be using RLM ARENA
ALL DRIVERS MUST USE ARENA TO RACE
*
* Drivers
with high ping rates and/or excessive warping may be asked to leave the
race for safety concerns.
No one likes to have a car in front of
the warp just as they are entering a turn!
Drivers with consistently poor connections
will not be allowed to participate in future races until their
connection problems are resolved to the League Admin's satisfaction.
*
Custom car files must be put on CFM by 9:00pm ET in order to

All car files please use the following
format: rtts_#.cts

Provisional points have been modified for
this season.
Provisional points for missed races will
be 4 spots less than the last place car for that particular race.
The same amount of provisional points will
be given to each person missing a race.
Provisional points will only be
given for two races unless notified ahead of time.
Each member will be allowed to receive
provisional points for all races during the season. New members who start
after the season has begun will be given provisional points for all
races missed up to the next scheduled race.
* Any
driver listed in the inactive list will not be allowed to race until
they have contacted me thru a email message stating your desire to
become an active member again. if you miss a 3rd consecutive race in a
row without prior notification as to your reason for missing these
races, you will automatically be dropped to the inactive list and will
not be reinstated until i've been notified by you. if you miss 5
consecutive in a row, you will be dropped from the league and your
position will be filled from the waiting list.
*
Races will use the "expert" simulation
setup provided with the game for each track. The League Admin reserves
the right to modify the setup based on input from the other drivers. Any
such changes will be communicated to the drivers prior to the race.
*
Ten Lap Rule: when 10 laps or less to go
and we are in a single file restart,
ALL LAPPED CARS DO
A DRIVE THRU ON PIT ROAD OR STOP FOR SERVICE ONE LAP BEFORE THE GREEN
COMES OUT.
this is to allow all
lead lap cars to race each other for the remainder of the race without
having to make attempts to pass slow, damaged off pace cars, or cars
that for some reason have been lapped earlier in the race.
* Intentional
wrecking of any car will not be tolerated. 1st offense gets you ejected
from that race and temporarily banned. You will be expected to explain
the incident to the League Admin who will then decide if you will be
allowed to continue in the league. If a second chance is given, and a 2nd
infraction occurs, you will be ejected from that race and permanently
banned.
* No blatant apron or
grass passing to better your position on any track. Verified
infractions will result in a 1 lap penalty.
* Race
restarts will be at the discretion of the admin.
If a wreck occurs on the first lap, a restart
maybe allowed. There will only be one attempt at a
restart....so
be careful on the start!!!!.
No weaving...it doesn't help your tires and causes wrecks.
*
No unnecessary chatting is allowed
during the race. Besides, we don't have time to read all of the chat
messages when we're racing at 200 mph! You may chat during caution
laps, BUT NO FLAMING OR ARGUING OVER THE
INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE CAUTION, you will be warned
first, if you continue you will be asked to park your car and/or leave
the server. Hold it till after the race and get the replay to see what
has happened, you may find that it's not what you think it is, plus
you will have had time to cool off a bit. Remember, we maybe good but
we are not all perfect!!!!!
During Caution keep chat to minimum and keep it race related! use
private channels.
* Personal attacks or
profanity of any kind will NOT be tolerated. If
you want to take up a private discussion with someone who you think
wrecked you or otherwise did you wrong, do it after the race.
Offenders will be banned from the league. Period.
* Use your Autochat messages as often as
possible so you don't cause wrecks.
* Drivers will be allowed
to modify their racing line ONCE in order to protect their position on
the track with another car directly behind them (less
than 1 sec). For example, if you are leading coming out of turn 2 on
the high line with a car directly behind you, you are allowed to change
to the low line in an effort to protect your position, but changing back
to the high line after that is not allowed and will be considered
blocking. However, multiple line changes in an effort to break the
draft with a car 1 to 2 seconds behind you is allowed and will not
considered blocking. A 1 lap penalty will be assessed for any verified
blocking incident. In addition, any verified blocking incident that
results in a wreck may incur an additional penalty at the League Admin's
discretion.
* Laying back on starts and restarts is
prohibited. You must maintain no more than 1 full car length behind
the car in front of you. Any verified incident of jump-starting
will result in a 1 lap penalty.
* Once the green flag
waves, passing before the start/finish line IS allowed provided it is
done safely and on the OUTSIDE line.
*
On cautions, We do not
race back to line.
HOLD your position and maintain speed thru turn one!
Lucky Dog is the
first car a lap down when the caution flies unless that car was
involved in the incident then it will go to the next car.*
Lucky Dog rule is in place. If you are
1st car 1 lap down, you must enter pits with the
leaders. You will then receive a black flag which puts you at end
of longest line. Once the race goes green, the administrator or official
will award lap back.. No chatting at this time as usually the admin. is
also involved in race and giving laps back is not the easiest task. Also,
with 10 laps or less to go, the Lucky Dog rule is NOT IN EFFECT!
Therefore, no laps will be given back!! If you are
the first car 1 lap down and you are the driver who causes the caution,
you will not be awarded the Lucky Dog. That will go to the next in line. A
driver shouldn't be awarded with the Lucky Dog if he/she actually causes
the incident.
* Damaged and off pace
cars should announce their condition and then stay low
and yield the high line.
* Lapped cars should
stay low and yield the high line. If a driver is more
comfortable staying high, he/she must let the field know before race
starts.
* Since I
can't possibly keep track of all complaints or infractions during the
race, all grievances should be submitted via e-mail at the end of the
race or through a "whisper" message during the race. The replay will
then be reviewed and if warranted, the appropriate penalty will be
assessed. The decision of the League Admin is final and is not subject
to debate. All members will be notified of the decision by email if a
penalty is assessed.
