BOARD TEAMS
The Boards have to set a team with 10 drivers who represent them in this competition.
CAPTAINS
Every Board has to announce a Captain with their sign up. His job is to create a team of his home board and contact the Race Admins when you have problems. He is also the contact person for the Race Admins.
DRIVING RULES
Drivers must have the intention to drive clean.
Any intentional wall banging or going off the track for gaining an advantage will be followed with a DQ.
So try to keep your car on the track or at least 2 wheels inside the track.
_1-5 lap races
Here we expect a 100% clean run from every driver. No wall touches or off the track (at least 2 wheels inside) will be accepted by the Race Admins.
_10 lap - endurance races
As all races in this category include tyre wear a 100% clean is preferred but not required. But your intention still has to be to drive clean. When you gain any advantage with getting off the track, for example shortcutting, your run is failed.
REPLAY VERIFICATION
This competition will be the first 100% verified series of GT3 A-Spec. So Sharkport, X-Port or EMS is required in order to take part in this series. As we know that not everyone has one of these tools, we include the opportunity for those drivers to send their Memory Card to a Port owner. He will upload and submit the replay to the Race Admins. He has to send it immediately after his races deadline and also bears for the costs! If a driver does not comply to this rule he will get a DQ for his races!!!
CHEATING
Cheating of any kind (using Hybrids for example) will be handled with an immediately DQ. The driver will also be out of this and any further Board Competitions. They not only destroy their own reputation, if they have one, but also the reputation of their home board.
WHERE DO WE RACE?
Each board has to announce 2 (1st choice and 2nd choice) race details consisting of car, race mode, track and restrictions.
The Only ONE attempt race mode will not be allowed to submit. Unfortunately we can not verify these races for 100% that somebody has driven his run only once. License and Time Trial Tests are forbidden too.
SYSTEM OF RACES
The competition consists of 10 races. Each driver will participate twice. This means every Board will announce 2 drivers for each race.
The Captain of each Board has to send a list to the Race Admins with the name of the drivers assigned to each race.
Please use this format as an example:
Race1: Driver A, Driver B
Race2: Driver C, Driver D
Race3: Driver A, Driver E
Race4: Driver F, Driver G
and so on
As you can see there will be 2 drivers per Board in each race. That makes 2 rounds for every driver.
The list sent by each board will be handled with absolute secrecy by the Race Admins in order not to give any other board the advantage of seeing the list.

COMPETITION INFORMATION
As this competition will require a great amount of work, all changes and discussions will happen on the Board Challenge Forum over at GTN. This is not for advertising or seeking new members but for better organization.
OK enough said. I hope we will enjoy this competition as we did the 1st one. Again thanks to Pedro and Wity for bringing season1 to us.
Regards,
Race Admins
