All racers must have decided on a racing team name.

5.3 Vehicle Restrictions

In order to promote fairness for all players in the prized tournament, vehicles only available on the pledge store are banned until they are available for purchase in-game with aUEC or REC.

Promotion limited vehicles have the same performance characteristics as their freely available counterparts are an exception to this rule. Specifically, limited vehicles that are allowed for use include the Drake Dragonfly Starkitten.

5.4 Vehicle Modification

All vehicles can be modified without restriction with the exception of ASTER's X1 Force which may only equip the K&W CF-117 Bulldog Repeater as its primary weapon.

Vehicles must start in their fully repaired condition with no broken off parts.

5.5 Communications

Simply being part of the ANZIA Racing Discord is enough to participate, the only requirement is to be able to listen to race officer instructions during the race and respond to mentions in Discord chat before and after the race.

Race officers will ensure all participating racers are on their in-game friend list before the event begins. 30 minutes before the event begins the race director or timer will add you to their party and launch everyone participating into a new server.

The race voice channel will enforce Push-To-Talk. When the race has begun, voice priority must be given to the race officers. Racers may briefly respond to the race officers, but should otherwise remain polite and respectful among the combined official and racer voice channel.

Should racers want their own team voice channel, we recommend layering in an additional VoIP application such as your mobile phone, Discord alt accounts, Guilded, TeamSpeak or Mumble to be running at the same time with separate bindings.

Unlimited use ANZIA Racing Discord invite link: https://discord.gg/anziaracing

5.6 Flag System

The following flag callouts are utilized by the race director and officials:

• "Green Flag"
  Normal racing conditions apply. A green flag is also called at the start of a race.
• "Yellow Flag"
  Overtaking is prohibited due to danger on the track. All vehicles must reduce speed using strafe down and forward combined.
• "Red Flag"
  Race suspended or stopped due to imminent danger to competitors or spectators, or due to severe technical difficulties.
• "White Flag"
  The overall race leader has set the final lap, remaining racers must cross the finish line and end the race.
• "Checkered Flag"
  The overall race leader has finished their final lap, remaining racers crossing the finish line complete their race too.
• "Black Flag"
  A racer and their team is disqualified and must return to pits immediately.

5.7 Starting Formation Lap

The race will begin by using a formation lap to give racers a flying start. Racers will self deliver to the start line. When racers are in their designated grid position and race officials are ready to start, the vehicle in pole position will begin a partial lap and guide all racers at a fixed speed govened by their strafe down and forward input to the start line.

Racers will be single file formation. The distance you must maintain from the vehicle in front of you is 200 meters minimum.

All vehicles must maintain course on the track during the formation lap. When the race director says "Green Flag", your speed can be unrestricted and the race begins.

The ASTER combat race is under armistice (no weapons allowed) until they have passed Checkpoint 4 and the race is under the Green Flag. Armistice resumes when you finish your race.

5.8 Driving

Racers must make every reasonable effort to act safely on the track at all times, cause no intentional collisions and may not leave the track without a justifiable reason and must pass when it is safe to do so.

In the event of a major crash the race director will call "Yellow Flag" which means all vehicles must reduce their speed to the combined strafe down and forward speed of the bike and overtaking is prohibited due to danger on the track. All racers must drive in single file formation to maintain positions.

Everyone that isn't racing must stay clear of the path of the racers.

All participants are required to avoid causing incidents. Incidents will be observed and recorded by the race officers, see section Incidents for more details.

In the event of your character's death during the race, briefly voice your RSI Handle and the nature of the incident such as ".. Ship Destroyed", you may respawn and return to the track to rejoin the race.

You must retrieve a vehicle that is whitelisted for the race and then inform the race director with a quick voice message of your RSI Handle and ".. re-joined the race".

5.9 Classifications

The objective is to get the most laps as a team. The team that places the most combined laps and shortest race time determines your team's overall result on the podium.

The vehicle placed in first will be the one having covered the scheduled distance in the shortest time, or, where appropriate, passed the finish line in the lead at the end of the race while on their white flag lap.

All classes will be classified taking into account the number of complete laps they have covered, and for those which have completed the same number of laps, the order in which they crossed the finish line.

Classifications will appear on the live standings after the race director has approved it, or they will be published at the end of the race.

Live classifications include: (DNS) Did Not Start, (DNF) Did Not Finish and (DSQ) Disqualified.

5.10 Starting Grid Position

Arena Commander starting grids will be based on your qualifying results.

A qualifying period will be held for SCR.gg submissions as well as a qualifying race to improve your starting position in the races as a team. Placement on the championship grid will be determined by your team's combined lap times of the SCR.gg qualifying period as the first tier of the start grid. A second tier of qualifying position can be earned by competing in a live qualifying race.

• Tier 2 Qualifying Position (Start Grid Front Half)
  • Compete in both the SCR.gg Qualifying Period and the Live Qualifying Race.
• Tier 1 Qualifying Position (Start Grid Back Half)
  • Compete in one of either the SCR.gg Qualifying Period or the Live Qualifying Race.

5.11 Qualifying

Qualifying has the following requirements:

1. Both team members must post a valid SCR.gg time trial submission to the Spectra Ocean Dream Circuit leaderboard or participate in a live qualifying race in a vehicle whitelisted for their race in order to progress their team to the championship race.
2. If any time trial submission is determined invalid in SCR.gg through dispute and then reviewed and confirmed by the ANZIA Racing Committee as invalid, a grid starting penalty may be applied before a championship race begins.

Incidents will be reviewed through the combined race official video footage, streamed footage and other material evidence and will be judged by the race director and race officers.

We encourage racers to record their own footage as it will be helpful in determining how desync and other issues affected the incident, but it's not mandatory.

6.1 Types of Incidents

6.1.1 Incorrect Starting Location

Any of the penalties will be imposed on any racer who is judged to be out of place before the standing start countdown from the race director is given.

6.1.2 Off Track

The track limit is defined on the track map as the "white line". The track also includes the re-join lane. A racer is defined to have left the track limits if:

1. The race director deems that the racer has strayed too far from the course.
2. The race director or race officiers are unable to locate the racer on the course.
3. The racer flies into the infield section of the track.
4. The racer does not maintain the specified line into the re-join lane.

In the event of the above, the race director or an officer will issue a warning to the racer and direct the racer to rejoin the track limits. Continued violations may result in further penalties at the discretion of the race director and the officers. Details of penalties available to the race director to issue are noted in the penalties section.

6.1.3 Skipping Track

Racers are expected to navigate the course described by the track map. Each mandatory checkpoint must be navigated through end to end.

Failure to do so can result in the following penalties being issued by the race directors and their officers:

1. A warning to the racer.
2. The racer will be directed to repeat the checkpoint again and only after safely rejoining the track when other racing traffic has passed.
3. Continued violations may result in further penalties at the discretion of the race director and the officers. Details of penalties available to the race director to issue are noted in the penalties section.

6.1.4 Vehicle Collision

Racers are expected to drive with care and consideration for other racers.

Please avoid the following:

1. Not allowing other racers sufficient space to maintain their racing line.
2. Racing in a manner which forces others into the physical barriers on the track, referred to as squeezing.
3. Intentionally colliding with other racers.
4. Maneuvering your vehicle in such a manner to block the racing line to intentionally force a collision.

Penalties for such actions will be at the discretion of the race director and will depend on the severity of the incident in question. Details of penalties available to the race director to issue are noted in the penalties section.

6.1.5 Vehicle Destroyed

During the race, an accident may result in your vehicle being destroyed. In such an event, you will be able to re-join the race via the re-join lane.

6.2 Reporting of Incidents

Racers and officials are able to report race incidents to the race director which may have breached the rules of the event or created an incident. Reporting during the event should follow this format:

1. The driver should communicate the incident briefly over the ANZIA Racing Discord voice chat or in the #incident-reports channel.
2. The report should start with the ship / team / driver who is reporting the incident then followed by the offending ship / team / driver and nature of the incident and if possible the location of the incident. If submitted after the race, any of your own recorded footage (e.g. Team A, reports Team B for causing an intentional accident at the start/finish line).

Incidents are assessed by the race director and officers. Incidents will be assessed during the race and an appropriate action will be taken (details noted in the penalties section). Incidents can also be reviewed after the event. If penalties are applied for these incidents, a time penalty will be imposed on the racer's final race time.

If it is determined by the officials that no incident occurred or if there is a lack of evidence regarding the incident, no action will be taken.

A log of reported incidents and the actions taken will be made available after the race.

Decisions made by the race director during the race are final and must be followed by the affected participants. If not followed, additional penalties including disqualification can be applied.

Incidents that are the result of servers (desync) are unfortunately not able to be easily addressed and will be seen as a racing incident.

6.3 Penalties

The following penalties are available to the race director and officers. These penalties can be applied at their discretion.

6.3.1 Warning

A racer can be warned regarding their actions and reminded of the rules. If the racer receives multiple warnings, additional penalties can be applied. They are usually caused by small errors or unintentional breaches of the rules.

6.3.2 Repeat Checkpoint

Issued when a racer has skipped a mandatory checkpoint. If issued significantly after the mandatory checkpoint has been passed the racer will be asked to pass through the entire checkpoint once again. If unable to be completed before the end of the race an appropriate time penalty per class will be applied to the racer's finishing time.

6.3.3 Pit Lane Pass Through

The racer will be asked to to pass through the pit line and not make a pit stop. If unable to be completed before the end of the race an appropriate time penalty per class will be applied to the racer's finishing time.

6.3.4 Stop Go Penalty

The racer will be directed to hold position off track near the start / finish line and will only be allowed to continue the race on the direction of the race director or a race officer. Time for this penalty will be determined by the nature of the incident and at the discretion of the officials.

6.3.5 Lap Count Skipped

Only used as a last resort. If a racer has ignored race direction calls.

6.3.6 Disqualification

Only used as a last resort. If a racer has shown a complete disregard for the rules they will be issued with a disqualification (DSQ).

6.4 Server Incidents

In the event of a 30000 Error or "30K" during the race, the race director will call "Red Flag" and the race will be restarted from scratch based on available race data.
