Hi
This is my first Tournament so I apolagise in advance as it won't be very pretty( I have a lot to learn regarding forum tricks), What it will hopefully be though is exciting and competitive.
Participation:-
I'm looking for 12 teams of 2 drivers+ any singles as reserve drivers
Restrictions:-
Premium members only as race games will overlap through the season.
Minimum games played 100 with at least 98% turns taken (I will accept a lower % rate if a good reason is given for the drops)
Format:-
We will try to mirror the actual championship by playing a total of 4 games to represent each race in the season:-
Games 1&2 (6player games) will each host 6 of the 1st drivers of the 12 teams(after Australia 1st drivers will be designated by championship position at the time the games are created)
Games 3&4 (6 player games) will each host 6 2nd drivers of the 12 teams
Game 5 (8 player game) will host the top 2 players from games 1,2,3+4.
Game 6 (8 player game) will host the 3rd & 4th players from games 1,2,3+4
Games 7 (8 player game) will host the 5th & 6th players from games 1,2,3+4
Games 5,6+7 all give an opportunity for drivers of the same team do work together (or not) in the single play format.
Game variables:-
The way each actual race transpires will dictate the variables of our games:-
Initial troops:-
The race winner finishes over a lap ahead of over 49% of field=automatic
the race winner finishes over a lap ahead of less than 50% of the field=Manual
Play order:-
Less that 50% DNF=sequential
50%+ DNF=free style
Spoils:-
No safety car deployed=escalating
1 safety car deployed=flat rate
2 safety cars deployed=no spoils
3+ safety cars deployed=Nuclear
Reinforcements:-
No single team ties up front row of the grid=adjacent
A team ties up front row of grid=chained
A team ties front row and finish 1st & 2nd=unlimited
Fog of war:-
No rain(no wet tyres were used during the race)=no fog of war
Rain(wet tyres used during the race)=fog of war
Obviously as the race dictates the variables I will not be launching games 1&2 until after the actual race.
Scoring & medals:-
All 8 in game 5 will finish 1st to 8th in the race
All 8 in game 6 will finish 9th to 16th
All 8 in game 7 will finish 17th to 24th
Points will be awarded to drivers and teams just as in the sport
I am able to offer a TA medal to the drivers champion and I'm hoping to secure permission for a GA medal for both drivers in the Team champions but as yet that has not been granted.
