5. Connection and Being Late
Connection to game- Your battle will be pushed to the next lobby or make a new lobby with you and your opponent.
Lag testing-You can lag test, but will no longer be allowed to do lag runs on the course. Take it somewhere off the section.
Wheel and Controller issue- TTSA will not allow a redo. Wheel drifters check your equipment before battling, and controller drifters check for enough battery life.
Being Late- If you feel that you are going to make battles, but show up late. Keep your opponent informed at least 2 hours before the time. This way your battle can be pushed back.

Talking during other people runs – Useless chatter in game chat will not be entertained. Make a private party chat and your spotter. That way it will be quite and you can concentrate on your runs.
However we have found a solution for the tandem battles which became very useful in the past, CHALLONGE. Its help organising elimination bracket and everything is live, not only will everyone who is in top 32 who you will be up against and in which order, the points and winner can be seen immediately.

Your rules are so stupid!! You know nothing about points drifting, sim damage? Tyres will wear out, you get rammed your stuffed, Restricted car class? People may want to run lower or higher class. Collisions you Rammed lose your points. Stock or street tyres most points are done with drag. Rwd s class theres a hole lot more than that for points. 1v1 for each person thats silly have the entire competition in the one game podiums only its not tandem silly and surfmastercraft will agree because we are both high ranked points driftera My 2cents worth but hey its your competition

Heres a list of decent scores for each of the tracks
Tskuba short - 32000 a lap
Top Gear Full 58000 a lap
Catluyna School 38000 a lap
Iberian Short 23000 a lap
Suzuka West 40000 a lap

I can’t see why the rules are so stupid. LIKE OMG! It may not be to your liking but doesn’t mean it can’t work. And yes, I don’t know much about “points” drifting and yes I am not good in it either. I cant even come close to that scores you listed. The reason for this ladder tournament is is to create competition and not using forza leaderboards that’s rigged because of modders. There are still many people in unlimited RWD & AWD lobbies that does points drifting. This competition is aimed for them as there many tournaments on Forza 4 but at a higher level which doesn’t allow them (Noob drifters) to compete in. Like I said before this is a trial run. Let see what happen and iron-out all the creases afterwards.

8

Thinking of it its exactly a good set up even though there should have some changes but if its weekly rounds of 1 track I like it, eliminations would be cool

9

If you want to do a points drift competition, I suggest to do it how it was done in the past. Here is a link, http://www.legendofdice.com/page179.htm . You will notice there are no rules and it is based on best score of 3 tracks added up. You will also notice that in Forza 4 prime there was less than 40 people competing. Your rules are ridiculous and will deter anyone from playing.

10

I second this, along with most of happydays’ points.

I see this competition as a way for tandem crews to get into points drifting using their preferred rules and car setups so as to strongarm those who have done it before and those who are better.

It is your competition, and you can do it how you like it, but sim damage on is going to be a cluster of epic proportions.

Please reconsider your rules, as this was a good initial idea and these ultra-restrictive rules might scare off potential competitors.

Also, is their a rule prohibiting turnbacks/backups? If not, there should be.

Gonna be banging my head against a wall learning to tune and drive rwd cars in this spec, but again it is your comp to do with as you please.

11

Plucky plucker is saw you have no team on fm4 I invited you to my top 5 drift team be pretty cool on if you joined :slight_smile:

12

Also, are engine upgrades not specified under that section allowed?

ie exhaust, camshaft, etc.?

Also, how do we claim #s?

If it is freeforall, calling 25x

13

I really do appreciate all the feedback. To me, it’s shows that people are interested. The rules I compiled is based on tandem drifting. But I do hear what yoll are saying and I really do like Legend of Dice idea which can definitely be used. But I have done a practice run last night with a couple of randoms also joining session. Track 1. Tsukuba Short - 10laps, Track 2. Maple Valley Short – 10laps, Track 3. Catalunya School – 10laps, Track 4. Suzuka – 10laps, Track 5. Camino School – 20laps. I also used different cars for each track which I know is not allowed but still using the above rules. I can say this, It takes alot of concentration and by the time I came to the forth track I could feel the fatigue. I can also say this that using sim damage has its ups and downs. The tyre wear is exactly what I was aiming for but rolling the car and had 100% damage wasn’t cause I could complete the round. So yes, the rules might seem be extensive but is very basic coming from tandem drifting changes where made to my knowledge of points drifting. If anyone can list suggestions of things to be changed/removed/included please feel free to do so. On another note please don’t call it my tournament, I am just bringing something to the table for the Forza Drift community as I can’t find any other events that is willing to cater for drifters, veterans or newbies.

14

Remove sim damage - do it like dice best laps not having loads of laps - everyone same lobbie

15

Ok, lets remove sim damage but having to do best lap would be the same like Forza Rivals. So accumulated points it will be.
Please understand, the direction I am aimed for is for a ladder system. Where be can see most wins, win streaks and loses.
Having everyone in one lobby, takes time cause we will always be waiting to people to join and again is the same as unlimited RWD & AWD lobbies.
This is Head-2-Head battles, just you and your opponent. However we can have the two class as done by Dice RWD & AWD.

Will add no turnbacks or backups. (This is kinda irrelevant as the race end timer will be set on 25 seconds). So you would automatically have to keep up with your opponent)

I also like it and I know 10 laps is brutal. 3-5 laps I think it’s too little, obviously dependent on the track.
But remember in public lobbies the drifting sessions are mostly set on 10 minutes by host. It takes less than a 1min to do a lap on tsukuba, maple, etc.

Anything over 700 pi is over-kill for RWD. So let’s bump it up to S700 from S650.
Maybe for AWD, then 750pi yes. Maybe even 800pi. (This is for future)

16

I kinda like the consistency element brought into play, but 10 laps is brutal. Try 3-5 at most, and keep it as a race total and not best lap.

Sim damage needs to go. Tire wear would be interesting in a racing battle, but having every person spin out or having to take shallow angles by the last few laps is a bit lame.

I personally would like to have my Dodge Dart (AWD, drag tires, pi in the mid 700s, and DLC) legal for comp, but seeing how that is probably never going to happen I ask that the restrictions are bumped up to pi750, all upgrades sans tires legal. Drag and race tires seem affect other people to varying degrees, with race tires being the major culprit. Most points cars run drag tires, but they would never work unless sim damage is off. Only a few people know how to drive a car with fully cooked drag tires, and the rear tires would be done a few laps before the fronts. Hilarity would most definitely ensue.

Turnbacks/backups should be addressed as always, but other than that I get it.

This comp is maybe something that bridges the gap between points goons and door riders. Concessions should be made so it doesn’t cater to one group exclusively, and finding that nice balance is going to be hard.

Good luck man.

17

Race timer 25seconds no way atleast 4 minutes, keeping up? Why to get rammed or have and accident lose your lap score
