A little rule change + Server settings

**Insomnia** · Last edited by Insomnia on Sun Feb 04, 2007 12:51 pm; edited 1 time in total

We changed the rules a slight bit, to support the fights for positions in the backfield. With the old ruleset, there was no point in finishing, if the first 8 players crossed the finish line, now there is. We will give points according to the following scheme:

finishing 1st: 12 pts
finishing 2nd: 10 pts
finishing 3rd: 9 pts
finishing 4.: 8 pts
finishing 5.: 7 pts
finishing 6.: 6 pts
finishing 7.: 5 pts
finishing 8.-9.: 4pts
finishing 10.-12.: 3 pts
finishing 13.-15.: 2 pts
finishing 16.-20.: 1 pt
not finishing inbetween the time limit: 0 pts

Also, we have a screenshot with the server settings for you.
Forced Settings: Game Mode = Rounds, Max Players = 20, Max Spectators = 0, Alternate Rules = Off, Chat Time = 2-00 (everyone should have the chance to go to toilet or get something to eat between these two very long races)
Optional Settings: Player Password, Spectator Password
Settings, that don't influence anything: Referees, Opponent Detail, Ladder Mode, Replays, Wait Time, Track Download, Point Limit (as long as it's between 1 and 10)

Thanks for the screenshot, if anything with these competitions the big hold up always seems to be the question: how should i setup the server?

I presume (by logical detuction) that the chat time should be 2 minutes? Seems like enough time to empty your bladder and stuff your stomache

Wouldn't it be more sensible to set Laps as game mode?

No, it does not work. Lap Mode modifies the lap count of a lap map, but it's a time attack mode. You can reset whenever you want, no synchronous start, etc.

Another rule edit I made last days is a decision about fairness. Here's the quote:

You don't speak about the <finishtimeout> setting ? it should be at least 3 minutes (so 180000) to give a chance to finish. Btw the finishtimeout should be verified in all ET matches with tmu, having a different time to finish can make a difference in team mode too.
