LFS Beginner's Cup Season 2 Signups Open [FULL-TIME PLACES FILLED, RESERVE LIST OPEN]

[J@tko]

Yes – its back!

As I’m not going to be here for the 500 (parents again!), I’ve decided to get this going, and leave Deko and Joe in charge of the 500.

The first race isn’t actually that far away, and so sign-ups are starting now. This is quite a long post – so bear with me – there’s lots of important information.

Entry Requirements
You have to have attained 2 of the following prior to signing up:

75 CTRA License points (excluding Bump & Jump)
50 CTRA (tin top) or CTRA SS License points
CTRA Yellow Roof License
1200 online miles
An LFSW uploaded hotlap within 103% (benchmark) of the WR on any combo (please give the combo when applying)

And all of the following:

Friendly attitude
Respect for other races, admins and the rules
You consider yourself a ‘beginner’

Calendar (Saturdays, starting at 8.00pm BST)
Pre-Season get-together - 26/7/08 - various
Round 1 - 2/8/08 - BL1 - XFG/XRG – 16 laps
Round 2 - 16/8/08 - FE1 - UF1 – 30 laps
Round 3 - 30/8/08 - KY2 - TBO – 12 laps
Round 4 - 13/9/08 - AS3 – FOX – 2 x 7laps (half points for each)
Round 5 - 27/9/08 - AS1 - Baby FBM (45%) - 32 laps
Round 6 - 11/10/08 - BL2R – XFG – 20 laps
Round 7 - 25/10/08 - AS4 – GT2 (enduro) – 20 laps w/pit stop

So, you really do want to sign up?

If you competed last season – and scored 1 point or more (You will be the ‘experienced’ class)
Simply post in here something like ‘I’m in’, with the following information (copy n paste please)
Real Name:
Numbers of entry requirements that you have attained (e.g. 1 is 75 CTRA points):
Your number (see below to find it)
EXPERIENCED CLASS (just put this at the bottom of your entry, and delete these brackets – this is solely for admin purposes)


Your number will be the position you finished in last season – to find this, clicky here. (http://www.lfsforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=52746&d=1206980627)

If you did not compete last season, or scored no points (‘Rookie’ Class)
Again, copy and paste this please:

Numbers of Entry Requirements that you have attained. (see above):
Number (this MUST be above 27 – and up to 3 digits long):
ROOKIE CLASS (just put this at the bottom of your entry, and delete these brackets – this is solely for admin purposes)

BTW, I WILL be checking to make sure that you actually have attained these requirements.

Hope to see as many sign-ups as possible. If you can’t make some of the rounds – it doesn’t matter – just make the ones you can and have lots of fun.

Some words from last season’s competitors:
‘The LFSBC teaches you that, no matter how slow you think you are, there are always people of your ability to battle against. Racing against, and sometimes beating people who you thought were so much faster than you really feels good.’

‘LFSBC was the first league I'd entered, even though I'd been on S2 for over a year. I didn't really have enough confidence in my own abilities to enter one of the major leagues. So, I signed up, hoping to at least keep up with the backmarkers. After a couple of races though, I found that I could compete on the same level as lots of the other racers. After the series I'd found that there are other racers at the same level as me. Being able to beat others who I thought would be far better than me, was amazing. It's a real confidence booster, and is a great intro to LFS League Racing - I'll certainly be competing again.’

'LFSBC is pretty much the perfect introduction to league racing. The organisers saw something missing in the league scene - something that caters for the new players in LFS. If you're new to LFS and/or new to league racing, then the LFSBC will serve you well for you're first league experience.'

'I think that what I learned the most in LFSBC is the basic rules of racing and sim racing mostly. I liked the great racing it provided with people of my level. It's a great way to get into the LFS league racing world and will teach you how to avoid crashes and how not to make some useless mistakes so that once you get into higher level leagues you don't completly make a fool of yourself. It's really a great introduction to the LFS league racing world and was very helpfull for me. It's also a very friendly league were you make lots of friends and people help eachother a lot to get faster. Now, off course, in the end it's all about the fastest and it's very competitive at times. If you're not fast enough to get first, then aim for a level which you think is good. And that's why I think LFSBC is a great league. You get a level of racing which is almost the same as yours and instead of focusing on being the fastest you focus on giving a good race and not letting other win easily if you can't.'

I'd be impressed if the above isn't 100% made up BS to boost the LFSBC's Image :D

Btw, we need a 'FAIL CLASS' for people such as dougie and myself :P

[J@tko]

I'd be impressed if the above isn't 100% made up BS to boost the LFSBC's Image :D

Prepare to be impressed then :D

Everything above (well, apart from one of them, which I had to re-write :D) is completely from competitors last season.

I've added another two aswell.

We've only had two so far, and one of them's me :(

For the rookie class, does 100 SS points satisfy both the 1st and 2nd criteria? In other words, If I've done nothing but score 100 SS points, can I join?

Thanks

Great!

I just checked, and I actually have 74 SS points, so I'll be signing up soon.:thumb:

One other question, does anyone know what 8.00pm BST works out to in Pacific Standard time (GMT - 8:00)?

Thanks

Maybe not lol.

The answer is, tbh, no, but you're welcome to race at some of the events if you want.

BTW - acted on your suggestion - thanks :thumbsup:

Hey Jack, can I help marshal the thing?

Yep - or you can compete if you want :shrug:

Well, I guess I'll just be spying on you people, if you need my help let me know I'd be glad to help. :) If you want me to join a specific race just let me know.

What I've asked Hyntty (and Taylor and anyone else in the top few from last season if they're reading this) is to pick a couple of races from the calendar, and to come along and compete with us :thumbsup:

You'd be very welcome.

[evilpimp]

:D Thanks. I'm pretty interusted in Round 1 and last round. I get to race the combo of my first ever league race :P. And I love GT2. Plus I get to see how many people improved and who are actually dedicated racers.

We'll see :)

[J@tko]

Gdgd. We might give you a bit of ballast to make it fairer :D

[evilpimp]

Lol, it would be fair even without ballast imo. :P

Tbh, I can't even get my pb in XRG @ BL1 anymore lol. Maybe with some practice but for now really cant :P

[DevilDare]

wait sorry for off-topic but why is this called "Begginers cup" if there are requirements to proove that you can race and win races? (ctra license) ? :really:

[dougie-lampkin]

To prove that you're not a total noob, I presume. I mean, I was allowed last year :rolleyes:

But, another requirement is that you consider yourself a beginner :shrug:

[evilpimp]

wait sorry for off-topic but why is this called "Begginers cup" if there are requirements to proove that you can race and win races? (ctra license) ? :really:

The requirements are pretty low. It's not to prove that you can win races. It's to prove that you know how to race at least to a minimum and the requirements are so low that anyone can get them really. LFS Beginer's Cup looks for beginners but clean beginners who can at least race a little.

Those requirements are practicly nothing... Who hasn't got 1200 miles or 75 points in CTRA. 75 points in CTRA can be obtained in less then an hour... Heck, the other one's 50 points... Those requirements are really nothing...

Anyone who's dedicated and willing to get into the league to learn will easily get those points or miles.

Entry list looking good :D

Btw Jack, I think it would be cool if you could put like track records for each combo which was already used. For example we used the XFG/XRG @ BL1 so you could put the laptime record that was there with who set it and if someone beats it this season you switch it. Same with all the combo's that were used in the first season :D

=/ just realised that there was only 1 track. But whatever, still think it would be a good addition :P

From what I see on LFSworld you seem to have quite a bit of miles driven there. But your laptimes should be the level of competition there is. 2-3 seconds away from WR's.

Up to Jack to decide. xD

Entry Requirements
You have to have attained 2 of the following prior to signing up:

75 CTRA License points (excluding Bump & Jump)
50 CTRA (tin top) or CTRA SS License points
CTRA Yellow Roof License
1200 online miles
An LFSW uploaded hotlap within 103% (benchmark) of the WR on any combo (please give the combo when applying)



Given that everybody who has 75 CTRA points will also have 50 points, does this mean that if you have 75 points then you fulfil 2 of the criteria and therefore qualify?

Sorry if this comes across as a daft question.

There's an or in there :)

For example, some people might prefer SS over tin-tops (or vice versa) so maybe would only have points in one of the categories :thumbsup:

When I say '75 CTRA points, it means SS and tin-top added together.

Take 2 mins, look at the WR list and find a hole were no one took the WR. Just do a quick hotlap and get it. :P Then you can say you've had a WR in the past. :P

[J@tko]

I haz 2 WRs!!!!1 :D

[JO53PHS]

I see no point. It's not really a WR, just a hot lap that no-one has bothered to beat yet :shrug:

Yes it is. Nobody has ever done a hotlap on that combo with that setup with that modified car. Therefore you're the only one in the world. Therefore it's a world record.

Hi,

I would really like to get in this league if possible,

I have been away from lfs for about 2 years and before that played for about 4 months so would consider myself a beginner! however I dont have the points required on the CTRA server.

Will I be able to register? I will try and amass the points before the season starts!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

You have more than 1200 miles online, and your PB on KY1 FO8 is within 103% of WR, so you have enough requirements completed outside of CTRA ;)

[MrRoper]

I thought it had to be an uploaded Hotlap?

[evilpimp]

I thought it had to be an uploaded Hotlap?

Yep it has to be an uploaded hotlap.

Well it shouldn't take long to get within 103% of a WR or to get on a CTRA server and get 50 points really. I use to get 100 points a race average on CTRA Race 1 back when I use to go on it. You can probably get 50 points in 2 races if the servers packed with aliens. Maybe 3 races.

The requirements are actually VERY easy.

[hyntty]

It has to be an uploaded hotlap.

But you only have to improve your AS2/FOX hotlap by 0.236 seconds :thumb:

Other than that, you can find an oval setup for any car you wish from setupgrid/setupfield and do a hotlap within 103% of wr pretty easily...

[J@tko]

I use to get 100 points a race average on CTRA Race 1 back when I use to go on it.
Um, too many zeros there???

The most I've ever seen on Race 1 is 34 points :shrug:

Thats for winning by miles in an XRG, with a full grid, fastest lap and a clean race.

100 is impossible, trust me :tilt:

And yes, its an uploaded hotlap.

Also, try CTRA Bump and Jump. Just by finishing 6 races on the lead lap will gain you a requirement :)

[hyntty]

I use to get 100 points a race average

Picture or it didn't happen

[evilpimp]

Lol im serious. Ask Ken he was there. I was tryin to get my silver license quick so was going uber fast and got up to like 120 points I think. Could of been a bug but meh.

How can I take a pic of something which isnt saved as a replay lol.

I don't ever get on Race 1 anymore. The racing is horrible :S.

Maybe my momeries playin tricks on me but I remember getting that many points for the last 5 races of my Bronze License.

[modelmotorracing]

I'm sorely tempted to enter but Saturday night at 8pm is a really bad time slot for me, too much going on in the house, kids going to bed and so on, plus I know already some coming Saturdays we are already booked up with other things. If it was a Sunday night through to Thursday night with a 10pm (UK) start I'd be there though.

I meet the requirements, i've done 90k miles but the real reason I am entering is because of the various cars we'll be using, I admit I am decent in FOX or FBM but I entered because of the other cars and I reckon it will be a good way for me to learn some of the other cars on lfs and tracks.

30th of August looks OK though, now I know I'm on the reserve list I'll make sure I'm available.

Apologies again but I can't cancel the dinner at such short notice.

Look forward to seeing the replays! Best of luck with the admin/racing tonight!

Welcome to LFSBC . There will almost definitely be space for you to race in Round 3 :).

The 3rd round was really disappointing. 8 racers out of 20 listed on Kyoto national. Very boring, because almost everyone was going on his own, like hotlapping.

[evilpimp]

Well the opening laps were pretty exiting but then the field just spread out and they were just lapping. If you know anyone who's never done league racing but would be interusted to try it maybe get him in LFSBC? (if he's not an alien!)

If this event does not clash with H2H I'll ask mister Deko if I can join the race and start from the back with the leaders ballast :D.

Nvm it is at the same time as the last event of H2H so no chance heh. Maybe round 5 :P
