League Rules Poll

League Rules are coming soon and moving along nicely in development. The rules that are being implemented on the first version are: Refuelling, two-tyre rule, point for fastest lap.

We want to ask how you would prefer to have them implemented? We can implement it so that the host can only change it for the next season (like race days changes), or we can implement it so that the rules can be changed during the season with a minimum notice period (like race time changes) and we could also restrict the number of times it can change during a season. Any changes to league rules can be announced in the news feed so everyone will see the change, this will be especially useful if they are done mid-season.

I prefer the idea of changes allowed during the season but limited to a single change per season. It offers flexibility to change for the next race right after the launch or during a season if the rules are not popular, while restricting how often the host can change it to a sensible limit. Not everyone on the team feels the same way though, so we want to put this to a poll.

Hello managers,

Personally I think the fairer option is the first one. These rules should be fixed from the beginning of the season until the end of the season, with no option for the host to change the league rules once the season has started. This inconsistency could be used as an advantage or to discourage managers who have already planned the car design and long terms plan. Imagine managers going hard with Fuel Economy investigation because the rule No refuel is on and then the league host turn Refuel on in the middle of the season, wouldn't it be unfair?

And what if everyone in the league hates the settings of the current season? They have to stick with them for 3 weeks or however long the season is. They can just change them to something they prefer for the next race with the second option.

The same applies on the day that league rules launches. Using the first option nobody can change their league rules and will have to wait perhaps weeks until the season ends. If they can change it during a season, everyone can update their league rules on the day it launches and be using new rules the next race.

For anyone reading: This is why we're putting this to a poll, there is not a consensus within the team. ?

Hello Mr Basford,

In applying this rule for the first time the leagues should have time to adapt to these changes, I don't think anyone would want to see a competition change from one round to the next, imagine that in real motorsport!

Dearest Mr Trujillo,

F1 has done this many times in the past and continues to do so; notably with qualifying formats, as it is doing this season with sprint races.

Yours sincerely, Honourable Mr. Basford,

First of all I would like to mention that the F1 Sprint qualifying format is well known long before when and where it will take place. It is not acceptable that a host can decide one race before when to make these changes. What happens if the season has started with the no respect rule activated and therefore I develop a strong car on Fuel Efficiency and 10 races from the end of the season this rule is deactivated? You still haven't answered this question mentioned in previous comments.

According to the interview you did for TraxionGG you mentioned that the future of iGP Manager was in the world of esports. Do you think it is a serious move that the season starts with one set of rules and ends with another? I don't think this is fair to the managers competing in the league, it opens the door for possible profit for hosts who are not responsible and it is a potential source of disappointment and frustration for managers in the game. I am sure that managers prefer an atmosphere where competition is fair.


This is all roleplay, we've discussed this already internally! :P

Egu on! ?

As José said before, the best option is the first one. The rule should be apply for the whole season... So there won't be problems and the season will be fair for everyone. 

Greetings! :-)

Changes to the league system will follow at some point, probably in January. It should help to address this.
