Official DRL Tournament #25

*In order to enter these tournaments, you must be a member of the squad HT Dirty Racing League, which everyone is welcome to sign up for at anytime here.*

Welcome HaloTracks, to the Twenty fifth Official Dirty Racing League Tournament! These tournament are competitive, position matters, and winners are rewarded, however we are a bit different from other racing leagues and squads. The DRL encourages crashing and shoving and wrecking and trolling. It makes races more interesting and fun, and can cause the lead to change rapidly. We only race on maps that are competitive, with good spots to wreck others and areas where players can easily mess up. All DRL members are welcome to sign up for these tournaments. Every Wednesday at 7:00 P.M. Standard U.S. Eastern Time, the tournaments will begin! Each will consist of 6 maps, with laps amounts varying depending on track length (usually 10 laps works best for most maps). So sign up and be prepared for some weekly amazement! This tournament will be held on Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013.

Sign Up By Commenting Below! If you are signed up and don't receive an invite at least 5 minutes prior to the starting time, message the tournament host immediately!

These are the official rules for the DRL and for its tournaments. These tournaments will consist of 10 racers on 6 tracks, and because this racing league isn't extremely competitive or serious, we will always have fun.

Tournament Rules

On The Track:

- No going early during the start of the race. You must go when you hear the fast, and one syllable "DRL!"

- No going backwards on a track, unless it requires you to go in both directions in which case collisions are encouraged.

- No getting off of your mongoose; ever. If you are stuck or flipped by accident, get back onto your mongoose as quickly as possible.

- No using grenades, shooting, or smacking cars if you happen to fall off.

- No cheating; if it is possible to cheat the track, in any way, do not. If someone pushes you onto a further part of the track, you are in luck and may proceed ahead of the others. If you get pushed to a previous part of the track, you are in no luck, and must proceed. This doesn't apply to Motocross tracks, or any other track with sections right next to each other with no bordering separating them.

- If you get stuck or die, get a new mongoose, wait for the racer who was in front of you to pass, and proceed when you are behind him the distance you were before.

- If you get black screen or bad lag, simply pull off the track or get to the start, and apply the rule for dying or getting stuck.

- Pushing, shoving, break-checking, tail-whipping, crashing, sandwiching, and any other form of destroying your opponents is allowed and encouraged.

- You may team up with another racer(s) for a short period of time, but long lasting alliances will not be tolerated, including alliances to not wreck each other, and alliances to wreck a third party.

- After you finish the race, you must lineup a short distance after the finish line, to the side of the track. This will help the tournament host tell the order in which the racers finished.

-No slowing down or wrecking yourself intentionally to let others catch you in order to interfere with those racers.

-No stopping on the track and rejoining the race (unless temporarily, for a legitimate reason, with prior warning to the host.) When rejoining, do so when and where you are supposed to be.

On The Mic:

- CoookkieMonster always has the right to sing. any song, any pitch, any way. He won't get out of control, however.

- No whining or complaining about anything; if someone breaks one of the above rules, contact the host in a mature manner either during or after the race, and he will review it. be mature, guys!

- Always listen to the tournament host, do what he asks, and don't argue with him or ask stupid/immature questions.

- Have fun, and if in great peril feel free to yell. However, don't yell to much, be too loud, or be too annoying or the host has every right to reprimand you.

- Be respectful: trash talk for fun and mainly as a joke, but rude comments, serious insults, or other acts of rudeness are not tolerated or allowed.

- Be quiet when the host in explaining the rules to new members, during the countdown, and if the someone needs the host during a race.

- You must be sure to talk over others if you get stuck, have lag, etc. to contact the host to ask him what to do. If in this situation, you have the right to interrupt anyone.

- Never insult the tracks we use or anything about them, especially if the creator is in the game.

Tournament Hosts:

- Tourney hosts make all the calls on the times you wait at the start of each race, and follow those rules.

- Tourney hosts must choose 6 maps, however they select the amount of laps for each map (based on the suggested amount). We want these too be long enough that they're worth joining, but not too long.

- Tourney hosts are responsible for getting 10 racers in each race, and no more (any more would be too chaotic/laggy). Be sure to allow 10 slots in the backup roster to ensure a full tournament.

- Tourney hosts must be mindful of second priority racers.

- Tourney hosts must review all questionable races in theater before determining winners and posting results.

- Tourney hosts are responsible for relaying the results to CoookkieMonster so he can update the members list and map database, and to Whiskey so he can update the leaderboard.

- Tourney hosts are responsible for posting the results, the new tournament, rewarding points, and informing Whiskey and I of results within a few days. Get the new tournament out very quickly to allow time for signups.

Overall:

- Have fun, be respectful, and be prepared for some of the most fun and intense racing on HT!

Punishments

First Offense: Warning.

Second Offense: Disqualified from race.

Third Offense: Disqualified and booted from tournament.

*Keep in mind, hosts and racers, accidents happen: don't go around calling infractions left and right.*

Cheating Policy: If someone is caught cheating a track intentionally, with full knowledge that he/she are cheating, then they will get a point total of 0 for that tournament which will be added to their leader-board rank. They will also be banned from tournaments for one week.

Rage Quit Policy: If someone immaturely rage quits because they are losing, then they will get 0 points for the race they lag out on and any future races, and it will go towards their leader-board rank. They will also be banned from tournaments for one week. If someone lags out or has to leave for a valid reason, so be it, but getting angry over a video game and rage quitting will not be tolerated.

Uncooperative Policy: If someone repeatedly break the rules, disrespect the host or other racers, or try to ruin the tournament for others, then they will be dealt with. Hosts hold the right to DQ (disqualify) them from races, or more drastically, from tournaments.
