The deadline for the sign up is 2010-01-31 11:59 PM GMT +1. You can sign up only via E-Mail to the following address: event_driftcity@bigpoint.com *Sign up Season 2 open!

Teams
You can only sign-up a complete team that consists of a maximum of 10 players. It is no problem to swap drivers between each race. What do I need for the sign-up? A complete registration contains your team name, the team members, a team leader and his standby. Additionally we need the email address of team leader and and his standby.

Think twice before joining a team, because you can not change teams normally once the season has started. During the season there will be a one time opportunity to switch or rejoin a league team. The date will be announced during the season and will most likely be available in the middle of the season. You can only have a maximum of 10 players in total. If you have not been in any team yet, you can join anytime (if there is a free slot). Every substitution in the team needs to be reported to the admins. You can add up to 10 new team members per season. Only the team leader or his standby are able to act official for their team. They are responsible for the organisation of the team. At least the team leader or his standby has to be available on a matchday in IRC ( Quakenet #driftcity ), both for the opponent and the admins.

We recommend that at least one of those two speak English to guarantee the communication with international teams!

Cheating & Insulting
Keep in mind that the usual Drift City rules are valid here, too. If you are cheating or insulting other players, you will be punish accordingly to our rules.

Race details & IRC
You have to use your ingame nickname on IRC, so that admins and opponents can easily identify yourself. All team leaders have to be on IRC 30 minutes before the match starts. The battle zone room must be named after the match e.g. "Team 1 vs. Team 2". Setup the password for the room on IRC as well. The race can only start with two full teams. You can not start 3vs4 or 3vs3 and so on. The maximum delay is 5 minutes. The relevant time is the time on www.uhrzeit.org.

The following room settings are obligate:

Matchday
There is one match each week. All information can be found here:
