Or could we just skip the racing bit and turn it into a bi weekly lottery drawing? I get that the changes were made to increase participation via more time slots, but what's the point if there is no actual competition?

Can we revert it to the single race format, or narrow it down to two events per week ala CoE? I mean, below screenshot is pretty silly if it keeps up for the second week.

Probably a horse that's been beaten a few times while I was gone, but since I haven't had my chance to complain yet here we are! :rolleyes:

This happened all last season and I think we agreed in principle to turn them all into the early SS league?

I try to join all the pvp race events i can.... but i can't join most of them for time issues.

How about trying to fit events in time ala "camp wars" so people that want to participate can choose day and time that fits his playing window and let the system decide "when" the race (or legs) should be held to have most possible willing players available?

Have it so that there is a tie breaker race at the end of the season.

Starting to record actual race times as tiebreaker was the best thing I saw in the last thread.

noticed one race think it was in elms had 4 races per week on 2 diffrent kind of tracks, times may take longer to finish on one of those tracks, everyone would race on the track that was for faster times if we went by tiebreakers on lap times tho.

I'd like the racing league all one race(try to make a good time IS tough). DR who cares.

But yes tiebreak for laptimes was a great idea.

Having fastest lap time to become the tie breaker is a good idea, but I do not believe it is possible based on Sam's limited list of options. I will discuss it with him again on what can be possible.

If nothing new can be implemented, we can revert back to the original race schedule/format. Any change will have to wait until the end of the game year.

Reverting to a single race is definitely the easiest thing to implement.

If that does remain an issue, we could put one of the mini leagues at "American" hours. If time slots are the issue, rather vary them between the current euro evening and 1am-2am server time every other season?

Yep that would work, rotating like that would be a good solution.
