Summer Racing Series
Forza 2 has taken XBL by storm and it's time for a good romp around the track at PGL. Rather than get into a hardcore, gotta-be-there-at-this-time-on-this-date event, we're chillin' out with an ultra-relaxed team-style event.
Here's how it works. We'll split the site into 3 or 4 teams, depending how many signups we have. Racers will then compete whenever they want, as long as there are at least three racers in a race event (online room). At the end of each race your "points" increase based on how you performed and how many are in the room, i.e. 8 points for 1st, 7 for second and down the line. Just race as much as you want and when you're ready to quit, write down the points you've earned and report them back to the Forza Summer Series here at PGL.
Just be sure to obey the following simple rules.
- Races only count when there are three or more participants in the room. This means that if you've been racing with just a couple of people or a bunch of non-participants, you'll need to re-start your room to keep the scorekeeping accurate.
- Race any class, any requirements you want. But be fair to the opposing teams. Take turns picking race class and tracks.
- Races will be run with the following suggested protocol: Collisions: ON, Damage: Limited, Brake Line: Optional. If all parties in the room agree to forego these suggestions for a tougher race environment, feel free to race however you want. Just make sure all parties agree so everyone's having fun. (This is in place to resect all skill levels)
- No more than 4 racers from the same team in a room. That way, there shouldn't be too much blocking and the teams should stay somewhat fairly represented. And on the blocking thing -- a little bit is fair game. Relentlessly pounding an opponent won't be tolerated. I think we're all mature enough to be able to handle this.
- It's up to each team to report their own points! Don't rely on your competitors to report your points. Points will be reported in a stickied thread in Connecting/Tournaments forum. I'll sticky and link to it from the Forza forum for convenience.
As usual, we'll be making this up as we go along, so the rules are subject to augmentation...
(in any way necessary to make my team win 
)
I'll post weekly standings and try to keep up with who's done what in terms of the points lead, etc.
We'll also track individual contribution and have an overall points leader, and we'll have the standings calculated in a few different ways to show who's doing what.
That's basically all you need to know. In case you're confused about the rules and how it all works, here's an example.
Six PGLers are in a race room. Three Blues, Two Reds and a Green. They begin to race and have various scores. One Blue decides to go to bed. He writes down his score and leaves (and later posts it to PGL). The others continue to race. A second green shows up and brings a guest. (No problem, guests are fine as long as enough PGLers are there). The racing continues. People come and go, it's all good as long as you write down how many points you have when you leave and post them up. Eventually the room drops to lower than three participating racers. The remaining racers then write down their points and report them. Done.
I'll be announcing special events from time to time for double or event triple points -- like maybe take two or three team members from each team, or pit team vs. team in race challenges for double points on longer races complete with pit stops, etc. Let your imaginations run wild, it'll be fun. Play any way you want: cat and mouse, team racing, individual, long races, short races, whatever. If you want a special event for double points, just let me know what it is so I can approve it so we keep a competitive balance.
Somewhere down the line we'll declare a week-long Championship event and all races will be for double or triple points. At the end of that week we'll crown the winners with their very own PGL Forza 2 Summer Series Championship banner.
