HOSTS

QUALIFYING
All Hosts must set their room correctly according to the settings displayed below. You must invite everyone allocated to your room whether they are appearing online or offline, by looking through the Friends List of the gamertag, EZT StockHatch.

As a Host, you must enforce the rules of qualifying as stated in the Rules and Regulations, which includes qualifying procedure regarding certification. Certified laps will appear at the top, uncertified at the bottom. An uncertified time could be faster than a certified time, but will still be placed after all certified times.

Once qualifying is complete, hosts will be invited into a Party Chat with EZT Neo 45. Please be patient as only 7 hosts can fit in the Party at once, but all hosts will get an invite. Please keep quiet when times are times are being read out, and state if a time is uncertified or not.

RACE
Race rooms will be created either by a Host or a Race Official, who will need to set the room correctly according to the settings displayed below.

DRIVERS

QUALIFYING
All drivers will get an invite from their Host. Please be patient and make sure you are appearing online to ensure a quick invite. When in the lobby, know the rules regarding qualifying, follow the Hosts lead and comply with any direction they give. When qualifying is complete, drivers must remember their lap time and ensure the Host has it noted correctly. At this point, all Hosts will gather together to share their laptimes and so drivers are asked to be patient whilst the data is sorted. You may practice if you wish, but you must respond to any messages or invites immediately.

RACE
All drivers will get an invite from their Host. If there is a Connection Confliction between drivers in the room, please follow the guidelines in the Rules and Regulations regarding Connections. Drivers must ensure they know the Race procedure. Please race cleanly and fairly, following the "Rules of the Road" and fun will be had by all. Once the race is complete, drivers must remember their finishing position, whether they have the fastest lap, and what the Total Race Timer is for the room winner, and ensure the Host has this information noted correctly.

At this point, the race meeting is now complete and you are free to leave the lobby

HOW RACE NIGHT WILL WORK

The EZT StockHatch series is a relatively simple format of qualifying, and then racing in the appropriate room from your qualifying result, but here is a simple guide to follow which should help explain.


QUALIFYING

All drivers will qualify in their qualifying lobbies, as stated below. Your qualifying time will determine which room you will race in, and what grid placement you will have. All certified laptimes will be placed ahead of uncertified laptimes, as stated in the rules.


RACE

The Host will receive an Xbox Live message containing all drivers that will feature in their room, and once the room is set to the correct settings as stated above, all drivers will then receive an invite. The race is a stationary grid, which means the room must complete a quick 1 lap race and finish in the same position in which they are to start the race in order for the grid to be set correctly when Lobby Points ordering is applied. Remember that there is a mandatory pitstop required in this series which must be taken between the first 2 laps and final 2 laps. Once the race is completed, ensure all required data is collected as stated above.

TIP - The 1 lap race should be on Camino Mini as it will take less than 30 seconds!

Neo, I don't mind being a back up. But as it will be early morning for me and I have never raced with you guys before I would like to be a last option sort of thing.

[EZT Neo 45]

Richy, it shouldn't be a problem. It's more important on the qualifying side of things. Xess is a great lobby host and shows up week-in and week-out, barring unusual circumstances. You shouldn't have anything to worry about.

No internet until Saturday Feb 5th fellas , so I will have to sit this race out.

[EZT PDILLY77]

Hopefully i wont have any lag issues. For some reason on sunday races i have been having lag issues. However on saturdays i can go an hour race with no problem.

[GLR Lothar]

I still haven't been put in a qualifying lobby...just letting you know.

[EZT Neo 45]

Oh Crap...I didn't see that. I was looking at the bottom of the lobbies for my name because I signed up late.

[EZT Neo 45]

No problem!!

Grid ordering is lobby points for the lap race, correct? Then needs to be "red" under grid ordering as an option.
