Format Runthrough

Attendance

Attendance starts shortly after the lobby assembles for the event start time. 
At this point, you will need to: 

1. Be in the appropriate discord server / chat
2. Have a microphone / headset to be able to verbally confirm your presence for attendance / qualifying runs
   1. if you are unable to do this, you will be disqualified. It is important you are able to interact and respond to call ups and call outs, and be ready to roll when the judges are as well. 

Qualifying format:

All registrants will be given a chance to qualify for a position in the top 32 bracket.
Due to the nature of these events, qualifying and the top 32 bracket must be run in the same day. 
Any driver who does not earn a score sufficient enough to be in the top 32 is eliminated from competition. 

• We will run the full amount of registrants through qualifying.
• Players will run in the order of car number, lowest to highest.
  • if arrangements have been made to have a late run, players will be bumped to the bottom of the list. 
    • if no show by this time, then the player is disqualified. 
• Each player will get their turn to do 2 back to back runs which will be judges by a panel of three judges on:
  • line (30 pts)
  • angle (30 pts)
  • style (30 pts)
  • x-factor / wow factor (10 pts)
    • this is split by the 3 judges, each get to vote 0 - 10 and the average between the three is the final x factor. 

After the qualifying session has been completed, we will advance onto the top 32 bracket. 
The top 8 qualifiers earn additional points in turn to their qualifying position as noted below:

For example, if driver 1 finishes with a 97, and driver 2 finishes with a 95, driver 1 earns 8 bonus points, and driver 2 earns 7, etc. 

Drivers whom zeroed on both qualifying runs will not be allowed to compete in competition. 

During qualifying, you are allowed to reset to pits for fresh tires. 

Halftime

Pending on the amount of signups and the length qualifying takes, we will take a short halftime of 10-15 minutes, so that judges / stream help may top up on necessities and take a bathroom break. 

Top 32 Format

For the virtual events, we will do a top 32 format.
The bracket is seeded so that there should be an equal and fair chance for each driver to prove their ground and advance onward in the event championship. 

The event will start by running the LB1 / RB1 (top 32)
Via process of elimination, moving to LB2  / RB2 (top 16)
again, process of elimination to LB3 / RB3 (Great 8)
Process of elimination again leads to LB4 / RB4 (Final 4)

After the first 2 battles are done in the final 4, leaving us with the Battle for 3rd and the Final battle, no further battle winners are announced until the end of the broadcast / final battle is completed. 

During battle, you are NOT ALLOWED to reset to pits for fresh tires. 

Winners Circle / Announcements

At this point, we will assemble to the winners circle spots for announcements and celebration donuts. 

Stream ends shortly after that.
