Series Confirmation Format Change Announcement
For ALL Drivers signed to the roster for this series, please be sure to read and review the amended confirmation and grid priority format that we will use for this season. We have 26 drivers signed to the series for this season with extras expected to come onboard as the season moves forward. With only 16 grid spots available, the potential to turn away a large number of drivers for an event is very probable. This new format gives all those available an oppurtunity to earn final spots on the grid. Please see below for details.
For the first event of this series, the top 12 drivers to confirm attending are guarunteed their grid spots for Event #1. Every event thereafter, the top 12 drivers in overall standing points will be afforded grid priority and first right of refusal for the next event. They simply need to confirm at any point up to 8pm est on the Thursday before our Friday race night to claim their grid priority. Drivers in the top 12 in standings that cannot make an event and confirm absent will forfiet their grid spot to the next placed driver(s) until 12 drivers are secured.
For the final four grid spots:
-If we have only 4 drivers confirmed/available
by 8pm est on the Friday race night, those four drivers will simply procede to the race room at 9pm est to fill out the grid and the race night will proceed as normal.
-If we have more than 4 drivers confirmed/available by 8pm est on the Friday race night, those drivers will be required to run a formal Pre-Qualification session to establish the final 4 spots and remaining reserve priority for that night's event. (If confirmed drivers in this group choose to rescind their confirmation rather than attempt to qualify for the final 4 spots, and only 4 drivers remain, those 4 remaining drivers can procede to the race room at 9pm est as no run-off is then necessary).
If the Pre-Qualification is Necessary:
-@Noob01_lmdead /
PSN ID: RJC76 will be our dedicated Pre-Qualifying room host with
@Bologna_Duc /
PSN ID: DucatiRobb as our back-up host for this session. Lobby settings will be set to the same as the main race lobby, except for the change to 10 minutes for the Pre-qualifying session. Be sure to have both of them on your PSN friends list to have access to their room. They will not be on track during this session (unless they are outside the top 12 in standings and are part of the run-off group)
-
Pre-Qualification Lobby will be openened at 8:30pm est on our scheduled race night. All confirmed Drivers (or last minute available drivers) will have 10 minutes to enter the room and forward their spec sheets to my PSN ID or to the series PSN group chat.
-
Pre Qualifying will start promptly at 8:40pm est for a 10 minute qualifying session. (Again, if only 4 drivers are present at 8:40pm est, this session can be cancelled and those 4 drivers can procede to the main race room at 9pm est)
-The host will collect a screenshot of the qualifying results to be sent to the series group chat, and the top 4 (or more if needed to cover for very late last minute drops) will be directed to procede to the main race room when it opens at 9pm est.
-This Pre-Qualification room will then be closed, and all drivers that made the grid are to procede to the main race room when it opens at 9pm est.
-The main race lobby/room will then procede in it's current format of 15 min warmup/sending specs, 15 min Race 1 qualifying session, and then the 30 min race 1. Drivers that race the pre-qualification are expected to send their spec sheet again once the main race room is entered.
The first post has been updated with this new ruleset in tab 2.3. Any questions, please feel free to reach out.
