It would appear that issues are present tonight with connecting to the network. We have a policy in place that explains how we deal with it. Basically, if you can't get into the room due to not being able to connect to the network, we don't wait. The whole policy is pasted here below. For the record, I'm not able to connect right now either.
If a driver gets disconnected from the race lobby in between races the host will wait three minutes from the time of the disconnection to start the race.
A driver will be given the three minutes to rejoin the lobby for a total of 3 disconnects per night. If a driver disconnects for a fourth time, the host will NOT give them the three minutes to return.
If a driver has been given three minutes and is not back in the lobby, the host must start the race and that driver misses the race.
If a driver gets disconnected from the race lobby during a race for any reason, the host will NOT terminate the race to allow a disconnected driver to rejoin upon their return.
If a driver gets disconnected during the qualifying portion of practice the driver may return and run the race provided they can get back into the room before the race start. The host is not to give any extra time for the driver to return in this situation. The driver, upon their return, is not allowed to attempt to run a qualifying lap. They will be allowed to join the race and start at the back. This also applies to any driver that joins the room during the qualifying session.
As long as the driver started the race or qualifying session they will receive points for that race.
The only acceptable times for a host to terminate a race in progress is if:
1. A driver is stuck on the race starting grid for the first time.
2. If there is a disconnection of multiple drivers (4 or more) at the same time from the race lobby. This does not mean 4 drivers disconnecting over the course of a race, it means at least four drivers getting disconnected at the same time.
3. It is determined that the starting grid was incorrect and a manual grid reset is required.
SNAIL Policy on Driver Disconnections
For the purpose of this section the start of the race is the time that the first driver begins their out lap in qualifying for race one or the start of the countdown timer for the start of race two. A disconnection is defined as any time a driver leaves the lobby for an unknown reason.If a driver gets disconnected from the race lobby in between races the host will wait three minutes from the time of the disconnection to start the race.
A driver will be given the three minutes to rejoin the lobby for a total of 3 disconnects per night. If a driver disconnects for a fourth time, the host will NOT give them the three minutes to return.
If a driver has been given three minutes and is not back in the lobby, the host must start the race and that driver misses the race.
