LFS GAME CHAT DURING THE COMPETITION

The competitions are recorded as streams on YouTube. Series organizers wish that the game chat is kept free (from chatting) during the competition for the messages of the competition director. Series organizers wish that the competitors are given peace to do their laps. During the competition, the discussion connection between the competitors and the organizers is organized in the discord community service. Writing in the LFS game chat that disturbs the broadcast and the competition can be interpreted as a rule violation, and the player in question will be removed from the competition without warning for repeated disruptive activity. Game chat english only. (Community rules)

PROTEST

A: You have no right to complain/ask about the situation in the chat during the competition

B: If you do write in the chat and keep complaining/asking for reasons about the situation, you will be removed from the competition without warning.

C. After the race you can discuss of the sitsuation in disocrd #competition_sitsuations was there a mistake/error or not what makes us all smarter or not.

NICE TO KNOW AT RACETRACKS1. At the start slow down cones are always on the lead/solo side 2. In practice wait the start light to change to green in lead (solo) side and then go.3. The chase car can jump start as much as it wants in races and practices. The lead car must not jump start at all or the start will be taken again.4. If your internet connection freezes, the delay is too big, your competition performance may be rejected (because it could not necessarily be judged because of this)5. Behave politely and respectfully towards the competition organizer and other competitors on the server and outside the competition on social media. (Community rules)6. It´s allowed to reset car in tandem battles between runs (tyre physics/temperature)7. While you practicing in our server and there is other players remember every time respect the starting light´s there. If you go when the light is red you will ruin/destroy somebody's AI judging scores always. If you drive solo runs use always lead lane NEVER THE CHASE and if you go tandem wait always that there is somebody in the lead lane who with do the tandem runs.

Report to eSM admins if somebody wont respect the lights in the server.
