Stock Ladder Rules

A big thank you to TNT Fumo and Naka_mex for translating
these rules into Italian and Spanish.

If you want to read these rules in Italian on the TNT Racers site then click on the link Regolamento
Also if any French people could do a translation too.

New rule proposed by TNT FUMO and now part of the rules.
2.1.5 has been amended and 2.1.6 has been removed.

To save the race times during a set of races I use a program called HypersnapDX
to take screen pictures of the table that shows up at the end of a race.

If you have translated this page and do not understand a section then I will rewrite it.

Can I say thx to TNT_TaNToFumo for advice and the initial email for the resulting 3 new rules.

1.01 I, Last_Cuban will be the only person to submit to these tables and ladders. This is because the host could use a cheat car and it would show up on the picture. If by any way at all someone has modified a car to look like TOYECA or any other stock car so that its impossible to tell by looking at it but by racing only then please make your views know during the race.

1.02 Your times listed here are your fastest average lap time, i.e. your total time ( which is your fastest race time ) divided by the number of laps be it 3 or 4 for stock and 4 only for custom races.

1.03 If someone finishes a race then but I cannot see their time then I will ask if they have finished first then ask another person in the race for their time. If no one can see their time then as I know their position I will ask the person to give me their time. If this does not happen for any reason then I am prepared to accept a screen picture from that race, although the acceptance will be at my discretion.

1.04 If I make a mistake when entering a time and only find this out later then I will investigate it and find the corresponding picture.

2.1.3 I prefer to race with at least 3 other people from the start but will race with 2 when the zone is quiet.

2.1.4 Pick ups are not allowed and any races with pick ups will not be dealt with.

Lag Start = This is when at least one race starts normally with the timer while others are held at the start while the timer is running. As this only adds to the resulting time there is no advantage gained.

Jump Start = This is when a racer is allowed to start early by the game before the time has started. Here there is an advantage gained.

2.2.1 Launch ( in the zone room ) will only be pressed when all agree we all have green or orange pings for everyone in the zone room.

2.2.2 If there is more then a 30 sec delay in starting a track then I will quit back to the zone. When this happens I will try to allow into the next game room the previous first, as some people will take a while to renter zone etc I will wait a few minutes for them but this will be at my discretion.

2.2.3 Jump Starts. If you do make use of this advantage then I will record your time as VOID at the end. If you do slow down when you realise this and I see that you are not gaining an advantage then your time will count. The best thing to do is park up and wait for the next race or let everyone pass and do some practice.

2.2.4 Lag Starts. If a race lags at the start badly and ( more than one person gets held at the start ) then I will wait till I see messages to the effect from other people in the race. If so then I will message "NEXT" and go to the next track. I will return to that track after the next one or restart the Room from that track.

2.2.5 Any one that suspects any racers of jumping the start must say before the end of the first lap but preferably within 20 seconds of the start. I know this is not the fault of any racers but due to lag in the connection. If I start on the front row then the people at the back row must inform me of this.

2.3.1 If any person drives in a way that inhibits other people from racing or makes if difficult to race ( except if you crash out of the race and your car is left in the race ) then I will remove them from the ladder after 1 warning. Also I may not let you into a race as well. I will terminate the set as well to get that person out of the race. In this event I will restart from the last track.

2.3.2 NO excessive typing during races, leave this till end. Especially during races that are set in a dark environment like the Museum levels and Toytanic2

2.3.3 If I see that there is any abnormal lag during the race or at the start then I will at my discretion will return to the zone to restart.

2.3.4 If you drop out of a set of races then I will carry on and any return to the Zone will be at my discretion, but I will try to do as many tracks as I can with as many people.

2.3.5 I will return to the zone when most of the people have dropped out and the remaining 1 or 2 people request a BTZ.

2.3.6 If you host please wait for the last person to finish if they haven't left the race.

2.3.7 If you have stopped for any reason then type a message to let the host know that you will not finish that track. Please park out of the way of traffic if possible as soon as possible.

3.01 You must do at least 8 races to get onto the ladder. I also keep time for people who have done less but these are not listed in the ladder web pages.

3.02 Super Pro, Pro, Semi Pro. To get listed as one of these then I must have times for each of the 13 tracks. To become a Super Pro, Pro, Semi Pro you must of beaten the times that are displayed in the Table Pages pictures. These are shown as Blue, Green and Yellow and will change colour as you beat the qualifying times. These are subject to change if I have reason to do so.

3.03 Please Keep your Zone Name and Race Name consistent as its easier for me to work out who is who. If you do join a clan and so change your name then will you get your clan leader to email me. If I am not able to match your race name with a zone name then I will give you a temporary name until I sort out who is who. Please do not use "CARNIVAL" or a similar word as its difficult to match a zone name to it. This is because I enter the times up to 4 or 5 days after the races. Also many people use this would get confusing after a while.

3.04 I will remove people from the web pages if they do not race in the previous 4 weeks. I will still keep your times and you will be reactivated on the next update to the ladder when you return to racing.

4.01 Choose from 3 Stock cars only, Toyeca, Humma, or Cougar. How to get these cars.

4.02 If you use a modified car then I will not use the times for that person. If you cannot / do not know how to repair your car then email me and I will send you a stock Toyeca, Humma, or Cougar unless available to download from here.

4.03 Do not use Cheat / Custom cars at all. This is not in the spirit of racing fairly and you be asked to leave or the set of races will be terminated.

4.04 I have no problem with different paint on your car as long as it does not change the parameters of it.

1.01 Io, Last CubanI, sono l'unico autorizzato a modificare le tabelle della Ladder. In questo modo posso rendermi conto se qualcuno utilizza macchine con parametri modificati (Cheat).
1.02 I tempi presentati nelle tabelle rappresentano le vostre medie migliori per ogni pista (quindi il vostro tempo di gara diviso per il numero di giri - solitamente 4).

2.1.1    Io devo essere in gara sia che hosti sia che non hosti.
2.1.4    I Picks non sono consentiti.
2.1.5    Dal 22 Giugno 2003 tutte le gare dovranno essere effettuate sui 4 giri.
2.1.6    Per le Piste Custom SOLO 4 GIRI.

Partenza con Lag = Si tratta del caso in cui il giocatore è trattenuto sulla linea di partenza nonostante il timer sia già partito. Il giocatore viene quindi danneggiato.
Falsa Partenza = Si tratta del caso in cui il giocatore parte prima ancora che il timer abbia cominciato a scorrere. Il giocatore viene quindi avvantaggiato.

2.2.1    La gara multiplayer può partire solo se tutti i giocatori dichiarano di vedere condizioni di latenza almeno discrete (ping arancio o verde).
2.2.3    False Partenze. Se qualcuno si avvantaggia in questo modo, io considererò NULLO il suo tempo. Nel caso mi accorga che il giocatore ha rallentato essendosi accorto del fatto e quindi non si è avvantaggiato, considererò il tempo valido. La miglior cosa da fare in questi casi è di parcheggiare la macchina e attendere la gara successiva oppure di lasciar passare tutti gli altri e di fare un po' di allenamento.
2.2.4    Partenze con Lag. Quando succede in genere passo immediatamente alla pista successiva.
2.2.5    Chiunque sospetti di una falsa partenza deve dirlo entro la fine del primo giro ma preferibilmente entro 20 secondi dalla partenza. Specialmente se io parto in prima fila, chi sta dietro di me deve avvertirmi.

2.3.1    Se qualcuno guida in modo da ostacolare gli altri verrà cancellato dalla Ladder dopo 1 avvertimento. Non gli sarà altresì concesso di entrare in nessun'altra gara hostata da me.
2.3.2    Non scrivete troppo durante le gare specialmente in piste con sfondi scuri come i Museum e Toytanic 2.
2.3.6    Se non hosto io, per favore aspettate che tutti i giocatori abbiano terminato la gara.
2.3.7    Se vi fermate per qualsiasi ragione durante la gara, scrivete un breve messaggio per avvertire l'host che non terminerete la gara. Se possibile, parcheggiate al più presto la macchina in punto non trafficato.

3.01    Dovete fare almeno 8 piste per entrare nella Ladder.
3.02    Super Pro, Pro, Semi Pro. I tempi limite per entrare in queste 3 categorie sono elencati alla voce Qualifying Times. Quando battete un limite di una categoria il vostro tempo verrà colorato rispettivamente in blu, verde o giallo. I tempi limite sono soggetti a cambiamento in caso io lo ritenga necessario.
3.03    Mantenete possibilmente sempre lo stesso Zone Name e Racing Name. Se vi unite ad un clan chiedete al vostro clan leader di avvertirmi se cambiate nome. Cercate di non usare il nome "CARNIVAL" perchè avrei certamente dei problemi nell'identificarvi.
3.04    Toglierò dalla Ladder i giocatori che non si presentano per 4 settimane. I loro tempi verranno comunque mantenuti nel database e riattivati non appena ritorneranno a gareggiare.

4.01    Scegliete solo tra 3 Macchine Stock: Toyeca, Humma o Cougar.
4.02    Se usate una macchina modificata i vostri tempi non saranno validi.
4.03    Non usate assolutamente macchine modificate o custom. Ciò non è nello spirito delle gare corrette.
4.04    Non ho problemi se usate macchine riverniciate a meno che non ne modifichiate i parametri

1.01 yo Last_Cuban seré la única persona para tomar los tiempos de las carreras, esto se debe para evitar trampas y carros modificados y la única manera de ver que los carros no estén modificados es viéndolos durante la carrera

1.02 tus tiempos listados hache son tus mejores promedios de tus carreras de tu tiempo total ( el cual es tu mejor carrera en cada pista) dividida en el numero de vueltas que sean 3 o 4 para las pistas oficiales y solamente 4 vueltas para las pistas de terceras personas

1.03 Si alguien termina una carrera pero yo no puedo ver su tiempo yo preguntare si alguien puedo ver su tiempo. Si nadie logra ver el tiempo de su carrera por alguna razón yo estaría listo para tomar la foto de la carrera, quedando a mi criterio.

1.04 si yo cometiera algún error cuando estoy actualizando y me diera cuanta tarde i puedo investigar y encontrar la foto correspondiente.

2.1.2 yo prefiero hacer un juego de 13 pistas de un solo paso pero si alguien quiere algo mas debe preguntarme

2.1.3 yo prefiero la carrera con al menos 3 corredores pero correría con dos si no hay muchos corredores

2.1.4 las armas durante el juego no son permitidas cualquier carrera con armas no serán oficiales

Arranque desincronizado esto es cuando al menos un corredor inicia normalmente con el tiempo mientras los otros esperan el arranque pero esto no da ventaja al final de la carrera

Arranque brincado = esto es cuando un corredor empieza antes la carrera antes que el tiempo empieza a contar aquí es donde el corredor tiene una ventaja

2.2.1 al lanzar ( en el cuarto de zone ) todos deberán estar de acuerdo con los tiempos de respuestas ( ping) para todos en el cuarto de juego

2.2.2 Si existe más de 30 segundo de retraso en el arranque yo terminare el juego y regresare a la zona de espera cuando esto pasa tratare de permitir en el siguiente juego que tomen un momento o que tengan que salir de zone y volver a entrar yo esperare algunos minutos pero será a mi criterio.

2.2.3 arranque brincado Si tu tienes un arranque brincado y tratas de usarlo yo lo grabare y será invalidado al final Si tu bajas tu velocidad yo veré que no tratas de tener ventaja entonces tu tiempo será tomado en cuanta lo mejor que puedes hacer es estacionarte y esperar por la siguiente carrera deja pasar a todos y has algo de practica

2.2.4 arranque desincronizado si la carrera tiene un mal arranque mas de una persona espera en el inicio yo esperare para ver los mensajes de otras personar de las carrera y si veo el mensaje de siguiente yo pondré la siguiente carrera sin esperar a que termine después la pondré para terminarla

2.2.5 Cualquiera que sospeche que cualquier corredor tiene un arranque brincado en el arranque debe decirlo antes de que termine la primera vuelta de la carrera de preferencia a los 20 segundos del arranque yo se que no es la culpa de ningún corredor pero debido a los problemas de las conexiones si yo inicio en las primeras posiciones el que inicia atrás debe informarme de esto.

2.3.1 si cualquier persona maneja en forma que inhiba a los demás corredores o que le haga mas difícil la carreras ( excepto cuando chocas y quedas fuera de la carrera ) entonces yo te quitare de la lista de xtg después de una advertencia también yo pueda no dejarte entrar a las carreras cuando yo termine el juego de 13 pistas puedo dejarte fuera de las carreras en estos casos yo empezare por la ultima pista

2.3.2 No escriban en exceso durante las carreras esperen a que terminen en especial las pistas obscuras como el museo y el barco 2

2.3.3 Si yo veo cualquier problema de conexión durante la carrera o al arranque quedara a mi criterio regresar a la zona de espera

2.3.4 Si tu te case durante la sección de carreras quizás regrese a la zona de espera quedara a mi criterio pero yo seguiré las demás pistas con la mayoría de los corredores

2.3.5 Yo regresare a la zona de espera cuando la mayoría de los corredores se hayan caído con 1 o 2 personas pediré que BTZ ( regreso a la zone de espera )

2.3.6 Si tu eres el servidor por favor espera a la ultimo de los corredores a que termine su carrera si el no ha dejado la carrera

2.3.7 Si tu te detuviste por cualquier razón entonces escribe un mensaje para dejar saber al servidor que tu no vas a terminar la carrera por favor estaciona el carro fuera del trafico lo mas pronto posible

3.01 Tu al menos debes tener 8 carreras para entrar a la competencia yo también mantengo los tiempos de los corredores que tienen menos pero no aparecen en la lista de nuestra página

3.02 Super pro, pro, semi pro para tener estas calificaciones debes de tener los tiempos de cada pista de las 13 para se super pro pro semi pro tu debes de batir los tiempos que están en las tablas se muestran en azul verde y Amarillo si cambio el color es que tu batiste el tiempo requerido

3.03 Por favor mantén tu nombre de zona y el nombre de carrera para que puede trabajar en quien es quien si tu te unes a un equipo y cambia tu nombre mandame un mail para notificarme si yo no estoy en condición de tener tu nombre de zona te pondré uno temporal en lo que halló cual te corresponde por favor no uses carnival como nombre por que será imposible saber quien es quien esto es por que actualizo de 4 a 5 días después de las carreras seria una gran confusión

3.04 Yo quitare de las paguinas de la web si tu no corres durante las ultimas 4 semanas yo seguiré manteniendo tus tiempos será reactivado la próxima actualización cuando regreses a las carreras

4.02 Si tu usas carros modificados no tomare encuenta tus tiempos si no sabes como reparar tu carro mandame un e mail y yo te enviare el carro que quieras Toyeca Humma o Cougar

4.03 No uses un Carro modificado o un auto de terceros esto no es el espíritu de carreras parejas se te preguntara para que dejes el juego y así se terminaran las carreras

4.04 No tengo inconveniente con los diferentes pinturas para tu carro solamente no le cambies los parámetros
