Track/Lobby Rules

ZERO Tolerance Rule- There is be no reason for bullying, disruptions/disturbances of any kind during qualifications and tsuiso rounds.

A single warning will be met with driver, if actions continue driver will be disqualified from that USDC Round.

If player still persists in disturbing the flow of the tournament, they will be permanently disqualified from the entire series.

Players must mute their microphones during all battles

Drivers will receive a score of ZERO if they fail to show at the time they have registered for. However, exceptions can be authorized if it is an emergency situation for that driver.

If a driver experiences a connectivity issue, where they cannot connect to the Session, they will be bumped to the first slot of the next Session, which gives them time to fix the connectivity issue they may have. If the issue advances after this period, at the discretion of the usdc coordinators, the driver may be included in a private lobby later on after the scheduled battle Sessions; or the driver may be subject to disqualification.

For Tsuiso Rounds, if two drivers cannot connect in the same lobby with other drivers, they will be moved into a private lobby to test the connections of both drivers. If drivers are unable to connect via private invitation, both drivers will be forced to run " Solo Suicides ". Meaning both drivers will run 2 consecutive solo runs and be judged based on their independent scores, similar to qualifying runs.

READ CAREFULLY: USDC allows NO “illegal” reserved drivers to replace drivers that qualify and who cannot make Tsuiso rounds. If a driver does not show, he will be forfeited and his opponent will be given an automatic “Win”.

Team placement: This Track statement is an experimental procedure in virtual USDC. Teams of 2 or more who participate simultaneously are permitted to designate their own “team booth” behind battle area.

Judging

USDC judges on four main foundations/criteria based on each drivers ability to drift the course. Speed, Angle, Line and Driver Style are the 4 criteria drivers need to be aware of when competing in Tsuiso Rounds. In hindsight, there will be 2 judges dedicated to 1 specific turns or more for judging criteria and max score will be no higher than 33.5pts a piece if there is 3 judges

Speed is judged based on how fast a driver can enter the first corner and maintain that speed throughout the course. Speed will vary based on each course layout, which will be kept in consideration as judging varies and will be timed during suicide runs if connectivity issues happen.

Angle is judged based how perpendicular the drivers vehicle is to the intended line of the course. Measured in degrees, the angle is observed not from the vehicle’s front end, but from the rotational axis at which the cabin is positioned. 87 to 90 degrees is considered full locking angle as the vehicle becomes completely perpendicular to the track. Anything above 90 degrees is considered backwards or “reverse” entries.

Line is judged by how precisely a driver can maintain their vehicle on the suggested course layout based on the USDC coordinators. This includes how well they follow clipping zones, outside zones and how well drivers follow the guidelines from coordinators exact setup. This also will be no higher than 10pts.

Driver Style is based on the excitement of the drivers’ skill of performance while drifting the course. This includes big entries and creative usage of the other 3 criteria. Judges will average all 3 scores to make the final score.

Zero スカル

The following list describes what actions, according to USDC, cause a ZERO score.

-When driver loses angle mid drift and loses wheel spin

-When Lead or Follow car is no longer on the appropriate line suggested by USDC coordinators, this includes vehicles that run off track.

-Tire Drops or dirt slides(unless specifically stated by USDC coordinators is not allowed)

-Illegal passes are and will be considered a zero score

*Illegal passes include: Deliberately missing the suggested line to skim pass the Lead car

  • Forcing through lead car line.

  • Damaging Lead car in an attempt to pass.

-Zero score would be set if driver fails vehicle roll on 2 attempts.

Gentlemen Roll

The Gentlemen roll is considered the “Rolling start” of any USDC tsuiso round. The rolls will be enforced with different speeds for different courses to ensure that the follow car has a fair chance at staging a good chase run.

*IMPORTANT MESSAGE: ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL CALLS IN DORIFUTO, GAP WILL be judged if lag happens if all judges agree there will be no gap.

MODDING*

Illegal modifications are allowed in usdc, WITH EXCEPTIONS:

-Vehicles with modded wheels that require DLC content to be downloaded are prohibited. Only wheels from manufacturers vehicles that are already available with the purchase of Forzamotorsport 4.

  • In Tanso Rounds, vehicles are allowed to remove front bumpers of any kind, bonnets and rear bumpers/diffusers

-Modding vehicles in such a way that it becomes unfair to other players as far as play-ability and competitiveness will result in disqualification.

-Modding the game in such a way it that obstructs the other drivers ability to run the course will result in automatic disqualification.

Car change rule.
If you already picked 3 cars and used all 3 you cannot change them and exchange one of the cars for a new car for 30 days, however if you never used the car you can change it at any time but must message all USDC coordinators

How rankings work.

The top dog will have the champion ranking the #2 spot will be called interim champion and the 3rd spot aka the top contender for either championship will be called rank #1. There is no maximum how far down the rankings can go. Long as you have one usdc coordinator in the lobby on a non official tsuiso round session and have a minimum of 2 judges you can battle for rank positions. But you must send a message to either BC3 Shado or BC3 Turbojunkie or both and send a copy of the message to the opponent stating you would like to battle that person, you must be in within to battle 3 rank positions to battle that person meaning I have to be #3 to battle number one but if the number #2 guy wants to battle #1 first you must wait your turn. If you win you take his spot if your the lower rank if the higher rank person wins he just keeps his spot if he loses he trades spots with his opponent but if the lower ranked person loses he drops 1 spot.

Coordinators will be Zeerqus. BC3 Turbojunkie and ten shadow.

!!That is all, see you all soon to experience the excitement of USDC!

So in other words, you guys endorse illegal modding of the game and console, just only certain types? Interesting…

Yes, this kinda modding is okay just for now. Unless it disturbes the visibility of the car. That’s why modded rims are prohibited

To be honest I don’t see much of an issue with it, but these are the official Forza forums run by Turn 10 themselves. It’d be like walking into city hall and putting a “Party at my house, mild drugs permitted” flyer on the bulletin board, with the police chief’s office door right next to it. It’s just asking for trouble. Lol

In addition to small cash prizes for the winners, 20 year bans will be given to all competitors…

We don’t condone modding of any sort. By if you wanted to run your 240sx with no hood or bumpers let’s say. That’s your choice. Other than that we just showing you guys we really don’t discriminate what you drive. Plus, you and I know that a couple 100 people still drive with modded cars. So they know the risk.
