RBR RaceDepartment League

Updated rules 30/7/2010. Changes in red.

After many weeks of work and the help from Warren, Senad and others RaceDepartment is going to host an RBR Rally League.

In this thread you will find a draft of the rules for the league and over the next week (untill August 6th) we will take suggestions from members on final improvements. On 7th August the final draft will be posted and final, so get your ideas in.

These rules look complicated but they are a simple statement of most of the rules we already compete with. It has been writen in a way to made dealing with any future disagreements simple and quick so they SHOULD cover everything.

RaceDepartment Rally League

Format

The RaceDeparment Forum Rally League will be run over a 7 round championship. By comparison to the RaceDepartment rally club these events will be endurance events running between 8 - 12 stages per rally. Stages will mostly be used twice each rally and BTB stages may also be included. All rules from the rally club and RSRBR will stand unless they are superseeded in this forum. The RaceDepartment Rally League will use reduced car damage with the cars being automaticlly repaired after each stage.

Schedule

The RaceDepartment Forum Rally League will run once every 4 weeks in place of that weeks Club Rally event starting on September 13th/14th. As with the rally club 3 times zones will be made available (EU/US/OC) with the times being combined to find an overall winner.

Championship

Drivers in the RaceDepartment Forum Rally league will be split into 2 classes. Both classes will compete on the same stages at the same time and will be separated in the points table. Drivers wishing to score points in the championship will have to register by posting in the Rally League thread. Points will only be awarded once the driver has registered. Car choice must be made prior to the first round that the driver contests and may not be changed for the duration of the season unless the drivers class changes. Drivers wishing to score points in the league must be registered members of RaceDepartment Forum.

Class 1 (A) league

"A" League drivers are competing for the outright or overall rally and championship win.

Drivers in "A" league must drive cars from Car Packs A8W03, A8W04 and A8W05.

Class 2 (Premier League)

"Premier" League drives will compete for their own champioship within the series as well as being able to score points for the overall championship

Premier drivers wishing to score points in the league must compete in at least 1 Club rally event between each league rally and prior to the league begining.

Drivers in "Premier" League will drive cars from car packs N4-1 and N4-2. (Note: Lancia Delta, Ford Escort and Skoda Octavia will not be eligable)


A Driver will automaticlly be classed as a "Premier" League driver unless

1/ The driver has previously won a Rally Club event
2/ The driver chooses to compete in the "A" league
3/ The league "rally directors" deem it necessary to promote a driver in the interests of fare competition.

Note:- If a driver disagrees with their placement in "A" league they can publicly request (in the league thread) for a re-classification to "Premier" league. This will allow any other league driver to object or support them. However the rally directors'decision will be final.

A Premier league driver will be promoted to A league if:

1/ The driver wins a Racedepartment Forum Rally league event outright
This will go into effect from the event where the win happens and from then on

2/ The driver finishes in the top 5 on 3 separate rallies in one season.
This will take effect from the start of the following season

Teams Championship

In addition to the 2 drivers championships a "Teams"'Championship will be conducted. Each team may consist of no more that 2 drivers and MAY NOT contain more than 1 "A" league driver. It is possible to have 2 premier league drivers in the same team. Should a team's driver be promoted from "premier" to "A" league, only the points from the highest finishing team member will be counted toward the teams championship from that event untill the season end.

Points system

Outright :

1st - 25
2nd - 18
3rd - 15
4th - 12
5th - 10
6th - 8
7th - 6
8th - 4
9th - 2
10th - 1

Premier :

1st - 25
............
25th - 1

Teams

Points from the outright positions and premier league will be combined with the highest points score per driver being taken. Points will only be awarded once per driver per event.

Parc Fermé

In the case of a protest or complaint from competitors a drivers stage replays must be emailed to the rally director apon request. All protests must be recieved within 5 days of the results being posted on RaceDepartment and the protesting driver must ALSO supply their stage replays. The ruling will be by the rally directors and will be final.

Note : should the protest concern one of the rally directors themself, another seperate un-involved member will be brought in to judicate
 
Hi Adam and welcome to RD and our Rally group.

Hello Warren!

Thank you for the help and all the informations. :)

The server topic is clear for me now. :) Earlier I used the hungarian Rallysimfans plugin, which works as the RSRBR. :) So I think it won't cause a problem for me to use, but I will read the posts before I will install it. :)

I'm still a bit slow in rally, is this no problem? :)

I highly recommend reading the installation and usage posts VERY carefully, RSRBR2010 is far more than a simple plug-in, it is a huge mod with lots of features. Most people have no problems with it, but the installation needs to be followed precisely.

No problem at all mate, we have a wide range of driver skills and speed, but everyone joins to have fun. Even our few "aliens" have crashes, so just finishing all Stages usually brings a competitive result.

Hope you have had luck getting RSRBR installed and we look forward to you joining up.

Let me ask you though, Toth Janos or Benik Bolias(I know thats spelt wrong, bugger);)?

Hello!

Nice sentence! :D

Well, Benik Balazs...just because he used Ford Focus WRC! :D (Ford is my favourite car brand :) ). But I think both of them are a good drivers. :)

I'm so sorry that I answer for you only now, but I changed my computer for a new one this week, and I had some work on it. :)

By the way, can I sign for the A League? Still only this thing isn't clear for me. :)
 
Hi guys!

I've got some problem with the RSRBR 2010. :(

I installed everything what I had to, and it doesn't want to work in online. :S

I click on the 'Public Session' or 'Championships' button, but there will be a pop-up windows, which contains the following:

'You can't take part in this session, the server did not identify you! Pleas try again!'

I tried again several times, but it still doesn't work. :(

Have anybody any idea what I have to do? (Of course, I registered into the RS system)
 
I've got 2, little problems. :)

First, how can I make a hood view in my game? Because the front bumper isn't the best for me, because I cannot see the front of the car.

The second, where can I get a template for the Ford Focus WRC? I searched for a template at the RSRBR's offical forum, but I only found templates for Fiesta and Escort, and only skins for the Focus. :)
