Rules and Regulations, Description (V.1)

IMPORTANT: You can't join the Main Tournament (tourney of those who qualified) if you miss the qualifiers. If you miss the qualifiers you'll run the "Off-Tourney" for half points. (tournament of those who were rejected in qualifiers).
Knockout Racing Tournament Concept
We’ll be having 1 on 1 races, the winner goes to the next stage, the loser is eliminated and has race-offs with those who got eliminated the same stage.

The race-off system is basically a separate tournament between those who lose a stage. You can understand this better in the example. The same type of scoring is applied to these tourneys.
The tournament will be made so that we only have 2 finalists, which means we need to have a 2x number of participants (2, 4, 8, 16 and so on). The number of stages will depend on the number of participants: 1 stage for 2 participants, 2 stages for 4 participants, 3 stages for 8 participants and so on.

Qualifiers: In case we don’t have 2x participants we’ll have qualifiers to pick our participants. The ones that don’t pass the qualifier will have a classic 4 players per room tourney with the ability to get only half the score the qualified can get (8 becomes 4, 6 becomes 3 and so on).

Points: Depending on how many participants we have, the scoring is the following: Winning a race gives 1,2,4,6,8 and so on points if the tournament has 1, 2,3,4,5 stages and so on. Losing a race gives you 1,2,4,6,8 and so on points depending on which stage you lost it. You get 1 point if you lose Stage 1, 2 if you lose in Stage 2, 4 if you lose in Stage 3 and so on.

Example:
Qualify: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24
Qualified: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16
Rejected: 17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24

Note: Qualifiers are done in 4 player rooms, the best 16 total times go to the Main Tournament.

TIMELINE
While the qualified race stage 1 of the main tournament, the rejected race round 1 of their tournament.
While those that pass stage 1 of the main tournament race stage 2, those who fail stage 1 of the main tournament race Stage 1 Race-Offs Stage 1 and those who didn’t qualify in the first place race round 2 of their tourney.
While those that pass stage 2 of the main tournament race semi-finals, those that lost stage 2 of main tournament race Stage 2 Race-offs Semifinals, those who failed stage 1 of the main tournament race Stage 1 Race-Offs Semifinals, and those who didn’t qualify in the first place, race round 3 of their tourney.
While those that pass semi-finals of the main tournament race finals, those that lost semi-finals of the main tournament race Semi-finals Race-Offs Finals, those that lost Stage 2 of main tournament race Stage 2 Race-Offs Finals, those who failed Stage 1 of the main tournament race Stage 1 Race-offs Finals, and those who didn’t qualify in the first place race round 4 of their tourney.
There are other race-offs as well, deriving from the Race-off tourneys, that I didn’t mention in this rather simplified time-line.

Track styles: We’ll be having more “creative” tracks. We’ll have the classic racing, the rumbles, to freestyle and mud bogging (special tracks will be found for these). Basically we’ll have lots of fun trying something new, and along the way we’ll give up some styles and only keep the ones everyone likes better.

Awards: We’ll give annual awards, and maybe awards for each style of tourneys (race, rumble, etc.)

Any questions on the rules and regulations will be answered and posted here.
