Rules For DCL
General rules for Damage Control League
Race admin is the boss in the races. If he decides to kick, ban someone or restart a race, it is his right. But the rules are his guidelines and he will try to follow them as he can during a race. Normally he himself is racing, so he can´t see everything or do everything during the races. If something hasn´t been right during a race you can complain to the main admin, which is me.

1. Disconnection: You can rejoin the server and race after disconnect.
Mayor disconnect meaning minimum 1/3 of the racing field will cause a restart. If the major disconnect happens after 80% of the race is finished, the standing will be as the situation was at the disconnection moment.

2. Crashes: Reset is not possible, but you can choose to hump carefully back to pit or to use shift+p to start again from the garage. If this option seems misused in endurance races to change a car or save time, you can get a punishment.

3. Restart: Will only be if the raceadmin judge it as a mayor disconnect (min. 1/3 of the racing field) or if the start order or the race setting is incorrect or incomplete due to the qualifying order) But it will be a judgment by the race admin, because he normally races himself and can´t have a complete overview. But he will in most cases stay in contact with others in the field by Teamspeak)

Any complaints which are severe here. Send them by pm to the main race admin, which is humbleridderen (Kenn Cramer)
Only comments from the involved parts can be written here.

The line we are following is:

"WE ARE ONLY PENALIZING IF AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE INFLUENCE ON THE FINAL RESULT AND IF SOMEONE IS DISREGARDING THE RULES

Admins wil always check replays from the first lap of both sprint and main races and the pitstops for all drivers and penalize if neccesary"


Use this form:

The parts involved:
Date:
Race 1 or 2?(if there is more than one race):
Lap:


Please, don´t write about all racing incidents. Just if it´s severe bad race manner and it is needed to be looked at. It can also be about chatting.

There are three levels of severity:
1.Racing incidents, which is mostly caused by lag or misjudging and not on purpose. Can give from 0-1 penalty point, depending on the severity.

2.Accidents, cheating or causing unneccesary risks to others, because of careless and disrespectful driving concerning the other drivers and rules.

Not to obey the rules about pitting (sprint: between end of 5th laps - end of 9th lap) and (main: between end of 10th lap - end of 19th lap) and remember enable damage repair!!! (If you don´t pit at all or don´t repair damage it will mean disqualification)
Beside that, f.ex cutting (4 wheels on the grass on the inside of a curve), not to be careful when entrying/exiting from pit or grass, not obeying blue flag, (when you have a fair chance to do it), bumping into another car repeatedly, obstruction to hinder to be overtaken (not the same as defensive driving, where you don´t have any contact and you can have one defensive move in the overtaking situation. Shutting the door too late, so it results in an accident.
All these offenses results in 0-3 penalty points.In some cases disqualification (Depending on the severity)

3.Disturbing, wrecking, not obeying admins advices, not pitting at all or orders or repeatedly continuing to be careless or disrespectfull.

A. If you are not really racing and in that case not going into spectate or leave the server. We will not have anyone just playing around.
B. If disturbing with chatting. It is not allowed under quaifying and race. A few smileys or short race relevant conversation is allowed, but only to an absolute minimum.
In these cases, A or B, it can cause kicking for the actual race or banning for a minimum of 1 event day, maýbe more. Only admin decides what is best for the situation and the league.

These rules are made, because we start to see a need for it, but we want to make them simple and effective and easy to understand. They can be changed, if admin see that´s neccesary.
Only official complaints will be looked at and only complaints written here before there is gone 2 days after the race. Any comments from the involved part will be investigated up to 2 days after the admins are informed.You can´t complain for another.
Admins will also review replays after the races even without complaints and if they see some severe cases, they will hand out penalties.
