The iGP Pinnacle League
I have no idea if guys are even interested in this or like the idea of rules I’ve put forward but I’m setting it up and seeing what the response is.
I know one of these was talked about by iGP staff like a year ago to have the Best V the Best with a standard equal teams but nothing ever happened, so I’m going to try to create a sort of one if possible but in a different way (you will have to use your own teams), my idea is to set up this league for a start time of 4 - 6 week’s time which will allow everyone who wants to do it a chance to build their car up to 100% as I can’t be ass'd with setting design limits and trying to police it (too much stress, awkwardness), so that everyone will start the season with a 100% equal car.
it will be 1 x 100% race per week (which is what was discussed a year ago) on a Sunday at 7pm GMT start time, please don’t bombard me with day change request's & start time request’s etc. as it will be impossible to please everyone, when I look at the best leagues they all seem to be around 5pm gmt to 10gmt start times so I’ve just stuck a time somewhere in the middle at 7pm gmt so hopefully there’s enough guys around that can do it, plus it’s a Sunday as it’s a free day for most.
(It’s only 1 day a week!)
You don’t have to join with your main team, you can join with a 5000 rep team if you want to keep racing everyday with your main one, id still class your hall of fame rank of your highest team as your rank for this league, most of the top guys have got more than 1 elite team knocking about, + alot of guys high up guys not in leagues at moment either.
I should also point out your don't have to be one of the best players to join but should the league actually fill up or people put their name down and there’s someone much higher in ranking wants to join than you then the lowest ranked active player will be removed to allow the higher one in as it’s supposed to be the best of the best but I’d rather have the remaining places filled by anyone rather than running light on players, maybe after 3 races I’ll lock the ones that are in unless one becomes inactive but I doubt anyone will want to join just for half a season.
The other problem is the Design, I only want this to be a 1 race per week league, but design updates are terribly slow like this so getting up to 100% might not be possible in 6 weeks probably only update 1 part a day or even worse than that, ideally I would of like to create the league as an everyday one then switch to 1 race a week league b4 the 1st race so design can be done quicker, but I’ve tried that and it won’t let the changes to take effect until the following season even though the season hasn’t started (Maybe Andrew Hurn or Jack Basford could help with a way around this??)
If not the alternative is to build your car up to 100% in another everyday league then switch over once it’s done ready for the start of the season.
But if you do this can you at least state on the league wall your intention to join for 1st race to show that there is actually going to be some top players taking part, because if its empty know one will join etc. & I’ll shut it down.
Also another alternative is if a staff member could just adjust everyone's car to 100% on the day of the 1st race? It’s only like 16 teams at most once every 5 months to do something a bit special. (Jack, Andrew?)
Just to recap.
2 Cars (16 Teams) - if there’s massive demand I may switch to 1 car league but im expecting it to stay 2 car.
1 x 100% race on a Sunday
Start Time - 7pm GMT (Shows 6pm GMT at the moment but will change when daylight savings changes on 31st March (for Britain at least) for those of you who live somewhere with a change)
1st Race several weeks away to allow everyone to build a 100% car.
1 team per player
Higher rank players get priority in Joining.
The idea is to get, The Best v The Best with equal design car, as something a bit different to the normal everyday race leagues.
Also I just remembered suppliers, everyone is free to do as they wish with suppliers, u can change them every race if u can be ass'd to do that :P
Anyway if anyone is interested then join or state your intention to on the league wall.
Also there may will be a glaring problem with this idea that I’ve missed / haven’t thought about so plz post about it if so…
Thanks
