Format:
As discussed in the signup thread, scorination will be done the same as in NSSCRA (see the signup OP for the deets). As to the eliminations, they will be handled as followed:
No one will be eliminated from the qualifier, which will take place in The Mendicant's Ravine. This race is simply to pad out the season determine what your starting skill for the series proper will be.
In the first race, Mianach, one quarter of the field will be eliminated. Assuming there are any by the cutoff of the qualifier, this will eliminate the field fillers, as well as one of the competition pilots. The top two spots are guaranteed to make it to the third race.
In the second race, Jebsheim, the bottom two spots will be eliminated. The top two spots are guaranteed to make it to the fourth race, as are the top two spots on the leaderboard (1st and 2nd in this race not included).
In the third race, Seabhcoir, the bottom spot will be knocked out. The remaining twelve are safe from elimination from the series, but only the top spot on the leaderboard and the first place spot are guaranteed spots in the Chase races.
In the fourth race, A Race Against Winter, there will be no eliminations from the series proper, but only the top spot on the leaderboard not already guaranteed a place in the Chase and the winner of the race (or the next highest placing who isn't already in the Chase) will be added to the Chase.
The same thing goes for the fifth race, The Mendicant's Ravine. This should give us a pool of six racers eligible to take it all in a series of three races in which the bottom two spots are knocked out. The races will take place in three of the nations of the final six, unless there are less than three nations represented, in which case the first race will be chosen at random.
The Leaderboard:
During each race, points will be assigned based on placement, with First Place earning 20 points, and each spot below earning one point less than the one above. This, in addition to the RP and History bonuses, will determine skill.
Race Schedule:
I am going to do my best to stick to this schedule, but my life can get a bit... hectic... at times, so please bear with me. As an apology, cutoff times are flexible. The cutoff won't happen until I've posted it. All times are in Arizona.
