- Race Weekend: Qualifying = 4laps/Ghost, Race 1 = 20-30laps, Race 2 = 10laps (reversed starting order)

I don't get what's the point of this. Shouldn't it be the opposite (first race shorter and then second race with reversed order and more laps?). In the way you planned Race 2 would become too much linked to luck (and probably will result in some rough racing).

And again, what's the point of assigning fastest lap point in a racing cup? No need to copy Keppana's sucky ideas.

About points system: if you accept up to 15 players, and you assign points to 8 players only, then ending up 9th or 15th won't make any difference. Wouldn't it be a better idea to give points to everybody?

Basically count me in, but I really have to check schedules before confirming it. Will we have a break for holidays?

I wanna keep this cup tight as possible, this way slower players has some change to get points when they start in first rows. It may cause some bad luck races for someone, but thats racing...sometimes it is about the luck.

I wanna keep this in formula style, but maybe i add points for top 10. And because of race 2, i think everyone has change to get points.

Yes there will have some breaks, i will post cup starting day soon as i can, but main schedule is 1 Round in every second week (sunday or monday).
I would like to chat with you about this but i have msn problems, cannot login!!!

Ps. No more points for fastest lap, but pole position is +1 point.

Can you already say, what time (of clock) will the races be held?

[Tzuikka.]

Sounds kinda cool, all thou' I havent been playing the game for months, but I guess it wont hurt to try. Count me in.

[Scud]

Can you already say, what time (of clock) will the races be held?

Something between 20.00CET-22.00CET, i quess...

Hmm. Count me in then but I may not be there if it's going to be later than 20:00 CET.

But then again: you have Race 1 with 30 laps and with quali starting position. After that you drive a sprint race with reverse order (=first row is potentially slower than last row of 3 seconds/lap). And both races have the same value for the championship. Naturally players starting from row 1 won't ever make it to the victory, so they will keep blocking or being pushed out in corners.
Players starting from behind will try to gain as much positions as possible because the race ends in few laps. To me it sounds really a nonsense. Just say that race 2 is rough racing.

Anyway, I said that I'm basically in, but I need to check final rules & schedule to decide.

[Scud]

Well, i have think about these rules too...and im gonna do some changes in points. Check new points in rules section. But these are final rules, if you are not happy with new rules, you dont have to join in this. About race two, starting order is reversed because this way this cup may be more exciting--->no same players in podium in every race.

[Scud]

[Mike Nike]

monday 21 CET i probably might have no time (50 50), but i still try to make it, so add me on the list

[iBlaze²]

count me in, i've been waiting for an F2 cup for a while

[Scud]

It may take time when this cup starts...i were in Austria (euro 2008) and now we are planning to to visit in USA. But i will report soon as i know when this cup really starts. I hope we get more registered players in, its not fun to race with 4-5 players.

[BomBom]

I would like to join!

[Scud]

I think im gonna forget this cup or i host it later in the future. Not enough players and im not sure do i have the time to organize this right now. Sorry.

[Storm]

[Scud]

and that supposed to mean? If i dont have time to organize this now, is it wrong? Or you found funny picture and this is good reason to show it us...

[Storm]

... you found funny picture and this is good reason to show it us...

exactly.

[dede]

Maybe that image should've been posted at Rendy Adrian's threads. He announced several cups, but he never released any schedule for them.
Same funny thing happened when announcing tracks: "I'm making this track", but no img or download link associated
After all, Scud organized a cup already.

[Scud]

I really want to host this cup soon as i can but sometimes unexpected thigns comes in your way...just cant do this right now and thats it.

[Squall]

is it too late for me to sign up for this?

[Scud]

Cup is removed in to the future. Cant say when it starts because i have so much things to do right now but stay tuned...
