Hey up,

Because we are getting very close to season announcment time; I have deleted my previous post relating to the staff meetings etc.

However you can still comment on the thread on the OLFSL forum if you wish.

Whatever the Weather Final Standings

The results from the last event can be safely declared as final now and it's time to publish the season standings, both individual and team. Without further ado, here is the winning racer and team. I congratulate You both on behalf of the OLFSL Staff!

Merry Christmas!

and Happy New Year 2010 to you all.

Thank you for the past year - this league wouldn't exist without you, so big thanks to racers!

Oh.. and Santa told me to deliver this christmas card for You. Although I must say it looks somehow familiar...

Appeals Event 11, and previous races incl. Oval Race

Event 11: An Appeals Arbiter decision has been published relating to Pool 1: HR™ G.Alamaras is given a 30 second time penalty for rejoining the track inappropriately, causing a crash and causing Salvor to retire from the race. Kamo is also instructed to drive with more caution. An appeal was also filed (by Logan5) relating to Pool 3 for Event 11, but this appeal was withdrawn by the complainant after the OLFSL staff provided an explanation of the rules.

Event 10: A complex Appeals Arbiter decision (3 separate cases) relating to Pool 1 has now been uploaded. SpeedCore.Luísíí and SpeedCore.PSantos are each given a 30 second time penalty and a First Warning. The cases include overly aggressive driving including repeated bumping, and unfairly blocking a faster car attempting to pass, by making repeated left and right moves.

Please all study these decisions, and please drive with the caution we expect to keep OLFSL a fair play and fun league for all participants.

Event 7: This was the Oval Race in the FO8. Given that the race circumstances were very different from what is usually applicable in OLFSL (including systematic drafting/teaming and different passing rules/conventions on an Oval), and in the interests of not postponing the final standings too much given that the Event 7 appeals have not fully been processed, the OLFSL staff has decided that no Appeals Arbiter decisions will be issued for Event 7.

Event 11 Results UPDATED

Hi racers,

Following on from the 4 racers who were disqualified in Pool 1 of Event 11, the penalty was challenged. As a result of this, the disqualification has been reversed and instead a penalty of dropping the points to the racer in the place behind has been adopted. This was done because it was found that the confusion came from a grey area in the OLFSL Rules.

The full decision is long and complicated, so I won't publish it here, however it will be made available if anyone wishes to review it.

In summary, the Rules page will be changed to clarify when the lap number is counted for the purpose of the "don't stop on the last lap of the race" rule.

I advise everyone to look at and familiarise themselves with this amendment.

Thanks
Tim

Event 12 grids

It's time for our final event on this season. OLFSL Whatever the Weather championship title is at stake - looking at the current standings there is one nominee clearly, but the situation can still turn to something else. A track known by every racer with FBM should deliver us some close combat - going to be a hot night in Blackwood.



Hear the call of roaring engines and be there!



P.s. ...and all members of team are again "in race" by default.

Quali server

Qualifying server is down and will be down until ~14:30GMT. If you have planned to qualify during the perioid the server is down please use contact form (via User CP) and inform us. You will be granted an additional opportunity to make a lap after qualifying deadline if necessary.

We are sorry about the inconvenience, as you might have already guessed.


--- UPDATE -------------------
The ADSL connection of the server running our Qualifying application has been cut down accidentally. Building where our server is located is under pipe repair work and the plumber(s) have managed to physically cut the wire today. It will likely be fixed tomorrow, unless there has been a total catastrophy.

Therefore the quali deadline has been pushed one day forward to Friday the 18th at 18:00GMT. We will possibly run an emergency host tonight, but there is no guarantee of it's performance.
------------------------------------

--- UPDATE 2 -------------------
The temporary server seems to run, more or less. Quali open - no guarantee still

Event 11 Results

Hi racers,

The results for Event 11 are now up on the site (pending penalties and corrections, as always). The reason for them taking a while was the realisation that some drivers had pitted on the last lap (lap 29). This was made possible due to the position of the start/finish line on the reversed track. Those players who stopped on lap 29 have been disqualified for breaching the rule.

See you in the last event!

Here's top3 from all 3 pools:

POOL 1
2. SpeedCore.Luísíí 1. Coulti 3. HR™ B.Chalaris
POOL 2
2. Mikey23 1. Paracelsus 3. AMT>>WlayCo

hey there MTnRunner, they just finalising season details for up and coming events so race calander has expired from last season, there is always a server for practice for the next up and coming race but until we know exactly what it is we must sit patiently and wait i'm afraid.....not long now though ;)
MTnRunnr
I found the calendar. Is there a server that people use to practice race?
MTnRunnr
Hello all, is there a server that people go to for fun? What cars are you running and what tracks?
[SG] D Robb
lol ;)
[KA]Braker
yes good one, but in this case i just want to know which cow is the first one.. :)
per.Pludda
quite good one ;);) Looking forward to the season ;)
[SG] D Robb
dad cow and son cow are standing at the top of a hill when son cow says "DAD lets run down this hill and F**K one of they cows"......dad replies "no son, lets walk down and F**K them all, moral of the story .....don't rush when ya can take the time and have a much better time :) hope this helps y'all appreciate the wait for next season :)
[FF] Russ Greeno
@[KA]Braker hehe
[KA]Braker
no i didn't understand whats the problem to announce the first combo... if we all know the track and the car we can test train and prepare us for the next "great" season.. but this is every year the same discussion.. i Know... just forget it we will wait and wait and wait a couple of weeks... in this time we will test other leagues, or events.. no problem
[SG] D Robb
yeah we understand.......just looking forward to it is all, please ignore our impatience, your hard work is appreciated lads :)
[FF] Russ Greeno
No need to be scared - what I mean is - we haven't just gone and picked 12 events and carried on with last seasons theme; we like to change things around and improve on things season upon season. You must see that it takes a little longer but is worth it in the end?
[KA]Braker
I don't know what to say...
[KA]Waleran
I am afraid ....
[FF] Russ Greeno
Hey guys we're ready when we're ready - don't want to spoil things yet but it's taking longer because of some more 'physical' changes (not LFS physics before you ask) rather than just picking new events. As you know we like to have a new 'theme', this takes more planning and site design too.
[KA]Braker
yes great idea.. please announce only the first combo with date and all racers are happy.. and the training begins
[KA]Waleran
hey, I am not available the whole March and it is ok for me to miss a race, but please please please with flowers start the season before May
[KA]Waleran
you want to announce full details in some weeks? and then it takes another 2 or 3 weeks until the first race takes place? why don't you announce the date of the first race and the combo now and do the rest of your planning until the first race takes place?
[KA]Waleran
hmm .....
[KA]Braker
couple of weeks sound like season starts in may again.. :(
[FF] Russ Greeno
we had a long Skype meeting tonite; finalised a lot more details. we should be ready to announce full deatails within a couple of weeks.
[KA]Waleran
... or FBM on FernBay ....

I'd like to see the good, old-fashioned skill driving challenge in the summer break again.
[KA]Thunderdome
Solar seems to be in hurry, What I like is: Start season , and what I don´t like is to wait :)
[KA]Braker
some Rallycross events would be funny.. :)
[SG] D Robb
the suspense is killing us!
[FF] Russ Greeno
And you'd all be totally surprised how much we got done in last night's meeting.
[FF] T.Kay
Staff meetings are now verbal too (check us out!). Anyway, tonights meeting was part one, part two on Sunday.
[KA]Thunderdome
was this told by olfsl miracle ?
[KA]Waleran
tonight the penultimate, tomorrow the ultimate and on Sunday you present the race calender :))
[KA]Waleran
the layout looks like Blackwood, but there is too much fog. Give me another night to recognize the cars :-)
[KA]Braker
:) go go go
