Rules and Information

General Information

Welcome to Season 2 of Saturday Night Lights, Best of All Worlds, IRUF SHOOTOUTS.

Welcome back Folks and sorry for the long intermission. After a great outcome in season 1 of the shootouts we are looking forward to launching the second season this weekend. The schedule has been moved to sundays at 10pm EST due to the racing season starting. Also we have made some adjustments to the structure for an overall better experience. Random grid order is one of the major changes being put into effect. Also we will mix it up with two different races running consecutively in the same night.

Season Scoring

Nobody will be turned away unless they have been banned or restricted from competition by the IFCA.

If there is more than 16 people that show up to race, the room will be split by qualifying time. An odd number of competitors showing up would find the majority in room 1.

If there is only 1 room the spread will go as followed
-100 points to the winner and a 2 point drop by finishing position
Ex. 1st-100
2nd- 98
3rd-96... and so on to last place.
If there are 2 rooms the spread will stay the same but the winner of room 2 will receive 2 more points than received by the last place driver in room 1, and a 2 point drop from there.
Ex. Room 1 had 10 people
1st-100
10th- 80
Room 2 had 10 people
1st- 82
2nd- 80
3rd-78 and so on to last place of room 2.
In the result of a tie in points anywhere in the field at the end of the season, the procedure will go as followed,
- All drivers involved in a particular tie will jump in a stock 2000 Saleen S281 and will run 2 lap shootout races around Camino Viejo Extreme. Grid order is random. No pit stops, Best to 2 wins takes the top spot.
- in the result of a 3 way tie in points, the procedure will go the same but with 3 cars on the track. First driver to take 2 wins will take the top spot, The remaining two drivers will shoot it out to see who can be the next to 2 wins. That driver will take the next spot in points. If one of these drivers retained a win from the 3 man races, that win counts in the last shootouts as well.

- These races will be held when it is convenient for all drivers involved.


Qualifying Procedure

Qualifying is random



DISPUTES

- Disputes will be settled by IFCA Officials. If you feel you have been slighted, taken advantage of, chased off the road or some other issue arises… Please do not argue about it during the race.

- Wait until afterwards and request an IFCA Official to handle the situation, or post the replay in your storefront so one of Officials can get ahold of the footage.

- If you pull over rather than finish your race or quit out of the lobby you will forfeit all driver cup and team points that you have earned for that race. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE LOBBY UNLESS IT IS IMPORTANT.

- If a problem does arise, please post a video inthe Incident and Protest Thread. Please keep videos brief. Accompany the video with a statement of what the problem is, and when it occurred.

Cheating

The IFCA is a place for honest racers, and is a place where cheating is not tolerated. If you are caught cheating, you will be banned from the series. If you are caught cheating a second time, you will be banned from the IFCA for life.

We have a zero tolerance policy on cheating. If you are discovered to have the wrong build you will be banned even if it was just an accident. If your telemetry shows you have the incorrect horsepower or torque, you will be banned. Word to the wise? Double check, and triple check, that you are running the correct builds.

SIGN UPS ARE NOW OPEN, sorry for the delay on getting this info up. I am using a mac so I had to enter all fields manually but thanks to my minimal experience in coding, i was able to read the format. All builds are available on my storefront. Hope to see a good turnout and look forward to crowning new champions under the lights!!!

I have released the first vehicle for competition early. It is available on my storefront and will be ran at nurberg GP full. I spent some time on this tune to make sure it was solid but you can tune it yourself if you choose. No parts can be changed!!! I will update the rules, points format, cars and schedual later tonight. I will also put all builds up on my storefront as soon as my guys get on and gift them to me tonight. I'm thinking about running a practice tomorrow night, (a few laps on each track in each car) if anyone is interested. Hope you all like what is in store for these races!!!

I'm in.

Updated rules and schedule

With race #1 being one week from today, it is time to break down where and why. The vehicle to be used in competition is an A549 Dodge Ram. Most might see this and say OH NOOOOO!!!! haha good because thats how we plan to kick off our series!! It will be a blast of a good time as these monsters growl around the entertaining and challenging course of Nurberg Grand Prix. Door to door, nose to tail these trucks will perform like never before with talented drivers from all spectrums of the game we all love. kickrocks29 was the creator of this race. The reasoning behind this truck being used is that I am currently building an s10 pickup for competition at my local short track. Seeing that the s10 in the game is awd only I had to look to the next best thing... This led me to the Dodge Ram! An amazing piece of Mopar performance, the ram is a rough and rugged machine which just from the looks of it has a very unique and mean stature. The Ram has been around a very long time and has been known as a very durable, heavy duty truck used for all types of applications ranging from heavy duty towing, material hauling and even drag racing. Although this creature may look like it will eat a honda civic as it barrels through turn 1 and makes friends with the guard rail, It is a gentle giant. Very easy to drive when conservative but the Snake will bite you when pushed to the limits as it shares the power comparable to its sports car counterpart, the Dodge Viper. Leaving mystery in the mist, this truck will make a name for itself with the first race being held on a difficult coarse where the rumble strips fight back!!! We have also discovered that the light rubbing and bumping does not damage this vehicle as it would most others in the game. The build is on kickrocks29's storefront .This truck has been tuned to drive as stable as possible. With that being said, it may not be the fastest tune but the easiest to drive as far as my tuning capabilities go. You are free to tune it yourself as well, no parts are to be changed though.

May the Mopar gods be with us as we depart on this difficult journey into the land of OHHH NOOOOO!!!! lol Can't wait to see you guys there. Don't be discouraged, We are running two races for a reason and if you can flip it, that means everyone can.

updated points layout
