What's at stake?
Structure/Rules:
- Races begin every Tuesday at 8pm Eastern Time (subject to change)
- Two “structured” points races, followed by “open” races
- Room names will be Rust Belt GTS X.Y
- X = Season Number
- Y = Event Number
- Qualifying begins at 8:20pm (subject to change weekly)
- If we exceed 16 people, we will split into 2 rooms and try to split participants evenly (or close to evenly between the rooms)
- Add Volktron and Big-Ass-Ham on PSN to find the rooms and parties
- New people can participate; however, they must have a way to communicate either via party chat or Facebook group chat (or preferably both)
- Anyone joining that has either not joined a party chat or the FB Group (message Alex Piehl) by the time qualifying starts will be booted from the lobby
- Please select the option in your party settings to allow broadcasting
- If we have more than 16 people trying to get into the chat, we should split by room
- Don’t be a jerk and intentionally wreck people in the points races. We get things happens, no one’s perfect, and the group is intentionally composed of people with varying skill levels. This isn’t a SRS BZNS group, but save the shenanigans for later in the night. Don't make us have to police stuff.
