maybe a stupid question...

[Caz]

I have started round 1, slowly. Round 3 is set to start soon.
If I don't finish rounds one and two before 3 starts, am I done?
It could I theoretically wait till round 7 and play catch up?

I pretty sure you can play catch up at any point you like...

and you know know now that I think about it, what happens if there's a few fast guys using 2 or more accounts to gain an advantage in placing at the top and knocking others off the charts? Or can only one user per console enter the competiotion? Like if 1 really quick guy sets up like 10 accounts and ranks high up on all of them, I'm sure that could be an eventual problem... or are there safe guards set in place to prevent this type of manipulation??

All the rounds are open until the end.

Thanks for the answers.

Racer, valid point. I do not have a sub account but Im sure it will be easy to try if anyone does.

I don't see how anyone could benefit from that, it wouldn't take long after the game was over for PD to see it was the same person for each tag and they would probably void the guy entirely or if they're nice remove the extra times and keep their fastest.

There is no situation where someone is going to set more than one of the top 30 times and so less than 30 people turn up to the finals, so why bother?

As far as playing on sub accounts yes you can. I'm playing on my other accounts so they will be able to get prizes at the end since cars from these events can not be gifted. I'm just playing on them for the cars. By the way If by some chance I'd get above 1000 in rankings on my main account I wouldn't be so rude to try doing so on other accounts but that's me not sure what others would do.

What would other members here do?

Ya true, I kind of thought about it like that too afterwards, there really isn't much of an advantage to doing that, actually quite counterproductive, and ya, PD would probably wipe all the times off the board if someone was using multiple accounts. But still, I bet there are a whole bunch of guys who have been playing with at least 2 accounts...

That's why I'll still use the other 2 accounts of mine just to get the Academy cars, but have yet to do that... and I'm sure I'll score gold all the way up to round 7 at least on all accounts, so the only cool thing about it is to see the overall ranking for your country stay higher (if you're patriotic) and maybe see your names if the region selector tab becomes useable (wishful thinking), would be cool to see the top 250 from each country. Right now I'm ranked around 750th fort the 2-4 challange (the only important one so far imo) and I never even nailed it properly yet.

Now I thought in the EULA states something about NOT using dummy accounts? IMO, this would be the equivalent of creating dummy accounts... Not to mention those of you with more than one account attempting this competition are moving other people lower down the ranking than they should be. IMO a bannable offense in a competition. If not a ban then I would remove that players (and ALL his other accounts) times from the competition. It gives me a mental picture of someone in the Olympics running the 1000m then putting on a mustache and different spandex and running it again....
