Just going to throw out a public service announcement. Each division has 12 or 13 drivers this week. This is more than a "party chat" can hold. All communication by the host, DM, or scorekeeper must be done via text chat in game. Having two chats open to disseminate official information is not acceptable as the information given to drivers could be different between the two chat rooms. This is asking for confusion and delays and is not acceptable.
Drivers. If you see the host, DM, or scorekeeper start to type instructions, stop anything you are typing unless it's that you can't see the correct number of drivers on track. Nothing else is important at that time. You can tell someone they ran a good race later. Pay attention to where you qualified and where you finished a race. In the event of a manual grid, if the drivers know where they are supposed to be, it can speed up that process.
Hosts, DMs, and scorekeepers. Make sure you know the processes that we have in place for GTS and keep the night moving. Make sure you record qualifying order and race finish order and be ready to set a manual grid if necessary. Doing this will help get us through any rough spots that may pop up.
All. In the event that your room has to be re-opened, use the divisional thread to post any updates to that process. Know who the back up host is and if you are the back up host, be ready to open a room if necessary. The DM can make the call when it's time for the back up host. Nobody else in the room should open a room unless specifically instructed to by the DM. If the DM is the back up host, he should post in the divisional conversation that he is opening a room.
Finally.
Review the qualifying procedure for tonight. It's linked right here. The penalty for not following this procedure is pretty hefty so make sure you know what you are supposed to do.
