This will be a unique challenge in that it is more of a tournament style format. Loosely based on the ncaa tourney of course. It may change in the future if there is more interest but for now this is the way it's gonna be.

-Participants will qualify for the tournament in the "Regular Season". Don't worry about the length though, its not a huge league, just for seeding purposes and making it more realistic. Depending on turnout some people may not make the tournament but odds are everyone will make the tourney, just you might have to go up against the top dog right away.

---There will be 4 races. A hotlap, and a 3,5,and 10 lap race. They may be arcade or sim cars or races, slow or fast you don't know yet. although there will be NO rally races this time so sorry to the dirt masters. 5 days a piece for the hotlap and 3 lapper, for the 5 and 10 lapper, a week for each.

---scoring: 2 points difference per place. 1st place gets twice as many points as the #of participants in that race. IE 15 racers for the hotlap, 1st gets 30 points, 2nd 28 and so on and so forth. The four totals will be tallied and you will be seeded in the bracket accordingly.
*it is strongly encouraged that you participate in each qualifying round so that there are equal points up for grab each race and the brackets don't get skewed.

-The Tournament. Ideally there will be, say 32 people but that wont happen so some drivers will get byes. say 9 people do it. the bottom two drivers will have a play in round to get into the final 8. With 7, one driver will get a bye. Top finishers get to go against the lower ones at the start obviously I'm sure you know how it works.

---The first round will be one race that I choose. Fastest driver (head to head) moves on. After that it will be the best out of 3 races. Each driver gets to choose the track once. and for the third race I will assign the track, and I'll name the cars and length for each race. Eventually we will have a March Madness Champion, not to mention the unofficial gt3 champion of the world!!!!ok maybe not the last but I think it will be cool.

---few more rules gentlemen, you may not pick rally races,wet races,the test track,super speedway and complex string. If you may not pick the same track twice in a row but you can name it more than once, or switch between forwards and reverse. Also, rules will cohere to general olr rules and the minor details will be hammered out later

Hopefully this should make for an exciting and fun challenge. Who's IN?
 
I'm interested however does my PS1 system qualify?
 
Your welcome to participate the12, but it is for GT3, not 2, sorry if I did not make that clear.
 
what no complex string??????? :(
WTF im in
 
First round of qualifying will be announced Monday. I'm going to PM everyone that has shown interest, I think the count is around 7 but that will do. Still open for anyone to join. Even if it isn't the grandest tournament possible maybe it will attract attention and can grow in the future.
 
You will vie for seeds in the qualifying phase which begins now.
1) hotlap at tokyo 2, car-mazda 787b fully modded NO WALLTOUCHES. rumbles are fine.

2) Beginner NA 2 lap race at gv.Any car allowed in the competition can be used. A clean race is encouraged but a couple minor offs and AI contact will be allowed but don't use either of those situations to your advantage.

3) Amateur Gt World 5 lap race at deep forest. Car- Griffith 500 stock w/oil change and tires of your choice. Same rules as race 2 but a little more lenient since its a little longer race.

All times are due two weeks to the day. That's a lot to do perfect in 2 weeks so don't sweat it if they aren't amazing times. everyone qualifies. Lap times can be discussed in races 2 and 3, but no discussion about race 1. Limited talk about tuning is also appreciated.

Tournament will begin in 2 weeks just before the final four kicks off.

Seeds will be given according to the points won. There will be 2 points per participant in the race. IE, you are fastest each race and there are ten racers each race, you get 20 points per race for a total of 60.
 
For the second qualifying race only ff cars may be used sorry for the confusion. Hopefully it will spice things up a little having an xsara, beetle,spoon civic and teg battle instead of another poly 001/f094s race.
