1/24/08: Official Team Racing specifications

[Ichiban]

Hey all,

I know many of you have been asking for it and wondering about it, so I am proud to finally be able to announce the specifications of Team Racing and how it will be functioning as a future addition to Nitto 1320 Legends.

After discussing with hundreds of Nitto 1320 Legends players, team owners and members, we have decided that this will be the most fun method of team racing to put into the game.

Picture this:

There will be Team Rivals chat rooms. You can use these rooms to arrange private rooms against other teams, or use these rooms to actually challenge other teams.

Teams must have a minimum of two racers present to initiate a team racing challenge. If a dealer isn't present from a team, then team members can do friendly team races.

Basically one team will challenge the other team. If the team accepts, they will be able to assign who races who from the competing team. All the races will be one type for that entire team challenge (i.e. bracket or H2H).

So for example:

Team A
Racer 1
Racer 2

Team B
Racer 1
Racer 2

Team A challenges Team B

Team B accepts, and assigns Team B Racer 2 to challenge Team A Racer 1 and Team B Racer 1 to challenge Team A Racer 2.

The races go, and times will be collected as a joint team effort. So if you are racing H2H, the combined racers times will be counted in determining the winning team. Same with bracket.

If you quit, foul or get an invalid you will be penalized 5 seconds based on your opponent's finishing time. So for example, if you are racing someone that runs a 10.00 in H2H, your time will be a 15.00 if you foul, quit or get an invalid.

Double break outs or fouls will just not count towards the total race.

There will be team badges in the game! So your team will be able to collect badges that are displayed with the team.

We are also hoping to implement a method for the Team Leader to easily contact all online team members to easily gather them up for a team racing challenge.

There will also be Team SC and rankings implemented for Team SC. Teams that reach a certain SC level will have the recognition across the entire server when they beat another team. So system messages will display in chat rooms if a high SC level team beats another high SC level team.

There will be no pink slips for team races.

Feel free to post any questions here and I will try my best to answer them for you.
