Hey Brun, do you have a prize format set in place yet for the weekly place money and the season's final standings place money/prizes? This will help attract some new players for the league once they see the large payouts that we had last season.

Also, I still have not seen the badge I created for this league on Splash's race achievements. Is this something we have to get Sam to take care of so it would also be available to this next season's winner as well?

If you need any help maintaining the league weekly, let me know.

Of course I haven't!

I have about 3 Million in the pot for prizes.

Will have another custom buzzer as 1st prize.

5LV8 Osprey 2nd prize.

And I will think of some interesting prizes in the next few weeks

I would like to thank (almost) everyone for turning up for this mornings 99 OPEN.
That's exactly what i had in mind when i started this thing!

Just to remind everyone that there are ONLY two rules in 99 OPEN races.

1) Only 1 vehicle per player.

2) Your vehicle MUST be below the 200 chassis bulk limit.

The fact that *JD Basher* is a MARSHALL, and knowingly entered an illegal vehicle in a player run league pissed me off.
I REALLY, REALLY, regret not redding his gangers after I demoed him on the first lap!

Seriously though, I, and a number of other players, have put a lot of time, effort, and money into this league.
I'm not having ANYONE- (gnarly old forum warrior or otherwise) screw around with it.

In future, anyone who has an illegal vehicle in the entry list within 10 minutes of the start, better not bleat about the consequences afterwards.

Thanks again to everyone else for this mornings event.

(I will now sit back and look forward to all the "Who the HELL do you think you are" posts from all the other gnarly old forum warriors- who play 10 events a week)

To be fair to JD, we told him about the rule, and he didn't know about it. He joined us just to have a fun race. We told him not to worry about it other wise he would not have been able to join us.

I felt a bit bad for the guy really as we told him no worries and that he would just get no points for it. He wasn't going to red people out or dominate the event or anything like that.


Thanks for putting these on, I know it takes a lot of effort. They are a lot of fun.

I messaged him well before the start and the conversation went:

ME: There's a 200 chassis limit

JD: I know

ME: well- you're being a naughty boy then

JD: haha - ya think

That's what got my back up- but if it was genuinely as you say bastille- then I do apologise for flying off the handle a little.

Yes Brun, we all knew what JD entered and we all agreed to let him participate with his Apache. It was just one of those times where the rules were bent a little for the sake of fun and being being able to have newer players, like you and me, go up against the old school vets. I had no issue with it and none of the other players did either. We all understand that keeping the integrity of the 99 Open rules in tact is a must by all participants since you cannot implement certain restrictions in a player generated event.

Bottom line, it was probably one of the best 99 Open races since it was installed last season. Not to mention the best player turn out with a total of 11 and it had more Marshalls in it than a bad B movie Western. But I do hope this becomes a stepping stone that will allow us to see more double digit entry races this season.

It may be wise to attend this event about 30 minutes before it takes place to go over rules with players. It will also give us time to help players resolve client and tech support issues prior to the start of the race. So the next time JD can't view the game in full screen mode, the big giant head will pop up and say, "Did you remember reloads??, and did you remove your empty beer cans that are in front of your monitor?!?".

One thing that needs to be done is the posting the updates of the final race standings and the "current season standings". I don't want to see players lose interest by not maintaining this after each race that is completed. The league has good momentum now, it is up to you to keep it going. As always, I offer my assistance for anything you may need help with to keep the league going strong.

(Was there an error in the time change for the start of the event or is it going to continue at 0900 server time?) Use the forum here to keep everyone in the loop as to what is happening week to week.

That is all I have to say for now and I look forward to seeing everybody back out there next week!

I will update the league standings tomorrow morning.

If everyone else knew about JD entering in an apache- thats different- so i retract some of my 'pissed-off-ness'

The 09.00 start time was a mistake on my part- but considering how many players entered, if everyone would rather it stay at 09.00 - thats fine

As my first 99 Open event it was great and I would say that the start time really did make a difference for me (being 10pm local time instead of 11pm local time)...

Good job Brun!

I petition thee for a later start time than 9am on a Sat.
Even 10am would be better :P Every extra minute would help lol.

I do understand - but the 9am start for you is a 10pm start for me (which is part of what makes it doable for me)...

Yeah you can't please everyone all the time. I suggested two races at different times but it starts getting too much for one man to run, which is understandable too. :(
