INCIDENT REPORT FORM

[Neutty]

File An Incident Report
Drivers will have until 24 hrs after race to submit an IR to be reviewed for all series racing.

** When Filing an Incident Report, please make sure you upload the replay so we can find it quickly.**

ARL prides itself on being a clean, fun and competitive League, but as is the case with any level of racing there are always incidents that rise above what is allowable under the rules. We have revamped the IR system to make it easier for drivers and more intuitive for those filing, aiming to make it a more clear and transparent process when proceeding with an IR. Drivers will have 24 hours to file post race, and once the form has been submitted the driver will be notified within 72 hours of filing whether or not the incident rises to the level of supplemental discipline, this will include a full incident write-up for explanation. If it does not require supplemental discipline, no further action will be taken. If it does, the BoD will correspond with the at fault party with all subsequent communication. Penalties will be applied within 96 hours of initial filing. Under no circumstances should the driver who filed attempt to take matters into their own hands, be that in the thread, PM's or in game party chat. The BoD are here to handle that, and we do not want to create an aggressive or unwelcoming environment for any and all drivers. The same goes for those who have been filed upon. Any questions, comments or concerns can be directed to @SydViscus for clarification, feel free to PM him at any time. It never hurts to ask.
