Other Rules:-

1.One Pit stop HAS to be made during this Race. (the tyres usually dictate this)

2.The Tyres that you set your best time in qualifying are the tyres that you have to start the race in (unless you have the choice to change)

3.Anybody caught using ANY type of Mod that gives an unfair advantage will be banned from the Championship AND the clan. N.b. txt line for puddle fix and core fix is allowed (and needed tbh).

4.Restarts due to a player losing their connection will be based on majority vote (usually ok in the 1st half of qualifying, although a second d/c from the same person will prob be ignored)
4b.Restarts due to 1st corner pile up will be majority vote this is very difficult to organize as quali will have to be started again so a restart will only happen in the very rarest of cases. (Please do not try to win at the 1st corner the race is 2 hrs long!)
4c.Restarts due to a staggered start will be compulsary. This is a very rare bug that allows certain players to start the race before others. It has only happened to me on 4 occasions and only before the patch. Not only do ppl get an advantage but it also messes up the whole of the timing and position OSD. (if you dont know what this looks like see here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmjSEPSiAwQ )
4d.Restarts due to late arrivals will be based on majority vote.

5.Everyone MUST have voice comms This preferably has to be in Teamspeak, gfwl is ok but if you have a mic there is no reason not to be on TS (it helps in the race a lot) The calm pays for this and is better quality than GFWL voice. Donations are very welcome.

6.0 Players MUST be curteous, Give places to lapping players cleanly, fight fairly and again, watch your speed please on 1st corner.
6.1 If you spin a car unfairly or nudge someone off the road, the place must be given back for the fight to continue (if this is done at the start and you lose another place due to slowing this is your loss. N.b. the rears are stronger than the fronts and slight nudging is allowed as long as the person ahead does not lose control, this however may lose you your front wing and should be avoided.
6.2 Giving places back due to a mistake against another player must be done within 3 corners so no advantage is gained. IF the place was gained unfairly on any of the last 2 corners the place must be given on pit straight.
6.3 Nudges that cause a player to spin on the first laps are more difficult to give back, In this case the player who was the victim is allowed to complain to the admins post race (please do not clog up TS with moans) The Admins will then decide the punishment/penalty for the offending driver.
6.4 Defence of a position is allowed however you are not allowed to "weave" this is defined as changing direction down a straight more than once, this however will be judged better than the real f1 . (Example ->not allowed)
6.5 Forcing a player along side you into a wall or out on the grass is NOT allowed, Players should leave at least a cars width should the nose of the car behind be inline or infront of the rear of your car, This applies in conjuction to rule 6.6 Mistakes will be punished!
6.6 Ghosting cars ARE real. Sometimes a ghosting car will have physical properties. These should be avoided. In the event of an accident the excuse "they were ghosting" is not a valid excuse. in the event that the cars are ghosting badly (i.e jumping around, the decision will be left to admins) as for rule 6.5 a car going down the straight should be attacked or defended as a real car, I have seen penalties given in races due to people thinking they could get on the racing line because the car that was alongside was "only ghosting"
6.7 NO ranting is allowed on TS during the race for any reason should it be a problem with another player or a problem regarding technical issues, please respect that there may be people concentrating. Please wait till after the race and by all means explain the situation on the forum.

7.Communication of split times over 10 seconds (behind only) do not show up in the game, if asked these MUST be given truthfully as in RL they would be accessible.

8.Communication of strategy and pit stops can be "faked". You can lie about tyres state/type and pit stop strategy if you wish. (its fun and adds to the game, makes you use your brain, with practice this is pretty easy to suss out)

9.FORCE INDIA will be banned from this championship (hence max of 11 players) This car has an intermittant bug which makes pit stop exit very very slow and will ruin the force india`s race and possibly other players that pit around the same time and get stuck behind.

10.Players are not allowed to Give up. Race on! Players who crash on purpose or get DSQ on purpose will be snarled at. You get a point for finishing last, this could be important to your place at the end of the year.

11.Once the server is Full, Racers will be in Rank order. The list of cars is then entered into Random.org (excluding Force india) by Treveready, The List will then be read out and players will race in the car that they are given. A picture will be posted on the forum with a timestamp and f12010 windowed in the foreground to prove the list was created then.
11b.Drivers who race in cockpit view will not race in the mercedes car, if they happen to get the mercedes in the random list this will be swapped by the next car in the list should the server NOT be full. If the server IS FULL the car will be swapped with the lowest ranking person in the championship (not the in game rank) who races in T-cam or the behind car view.

*explanation:- The Mercedes car has a high nose which hinders the view of the in car view, this is a disadvantage. For T-cam or Rear car view racers the mercedes is not a disadvantage (saying this though the rear view cam "should" be used in certain circumstances)

12. The signup list is priority order, race slots are decided by admins and are based on how fair you are and attendance. If there are not 11 people available the Subs will be allowed to participate. The Priority subs are chosen in the same process but given priority over general subs.
12b.New members will start as priority subs, after a few fair races will find themselves moved up into top 11
12c.IF there is 2 or more fair drivers with the same attendance who wish to attend that days championship event and only one slot is available a quick sprint (3 lap race) session will be arranged to decide who gets the spot.
12d.IF two or more races are missed without reason you will be moved to general subs, priority subs will subsequesntly moved up
12e.A priority sub will be moved into the official list should they race in 3 or more races if the grid becomes too full due to this rule, rule 12c will apply untill there is enough people for a second championship based on skill.
*Due to the above few rules we "ask" players to show up earlier than the time stated as the race start time in the forum (usually 9am gmt) if possible

13.Forum usage is a must and players are expected to check up on the forum at least twice a week (theres is always something interesting to read)

14.In game rules must be followed. e.g. keep an eye on blue flags and allow the overtake quickly to avoid DSQ (Blue flags do not work sometimes) do not cut the track excessively as you may be DSQ (if you outbreak youself into a chicane and do not think you will make the turn do not expect to be able to cut the corner and get away with it, this has ruined a lot of peoples races. Get back to the grey asap)
14b. Look out for yellow flags, Overtaking is not allowed in these areas, F1 2010 can be a bitch when it comes to this rule and sometimes the yellows come out on track instantly and an unavoidable overtake will be punished be aware.
14c. Although players are not allowed to quit sometimes we have to quit for whatever reason during a race, if you NEED to do this retire in a place where the yellow flags will not make any impact on the race OR and even better smash your car into a wall making it dissapear.

15.Constant infringements of these rules will lead to a ban from the championship and a joint admin decision is final.

16.These Rules are subject to change by admins decision
Points system.

1st - 25 / 2nd - 20 / 3rd - 18 / 4th - 15 / 5th - 12 / 6th - 10 / 7th - 8 / 8th - 6 / 9th - 4 / 10th - 2 / 11th - 1

The points system I have changed so you will get a point for just finishing the race. This is incentive enough to KEEP RACING you never know how much it will matter come the end of the season. Also 1st 2nd 3rd are closer than RL which should make for a tighter Championship.
MOST IMPORTANT RULE:-

17.Have fun!
