Will i find out on this forum or PM?

You can find out by looking in this thread.
It has all the members of the Registry and it has updates with new members, last update the 22nd of March.

And yes you can participate once you submit your qualifier but it may take some time to process new members.
Until your officially placed in a division your times won't be on the leaderboard and you won't be able to submit.

As of yesterday fetchbot has been fixed for submitting this weeks combo.

For the leaderboards, you need to put it in your signature! 👍

The clarify, the fetchbot gets your division data from the registry thread. It's just your region and controller details that should be in your signature.

For anyone awaiting processing of your qualifier submission, keep an eye on that thread.

you can race and post your sector 1 and 2 times in the thread, but you can't send the full time until you know what division your in

at least i think so, i'm new here too

i think you aren't allowed to.. according to the OLR rules i remember.. I'll just say I was happy when i saw my times for both sectors.

You guys are talking about 2 different things. For the qualifer, you are not allowed to share your times. For the weekly races, you SHOULD post your sector times in the weekly race thread, as you progress through the week. The Fetchbot will add your splits to the weekly leaderboard automatically.

For both of you guys, welcome to the WRS and GTP Registry. Please use proper grammar when posting to the forums, including the use of capital letters. Also avoid double posting (Posting twice consecutively). If you need to add to your point, and no other members have made a post since you last posted, use the edit button found at the bottom right of your post.

Any questions on these points, please see our AUP.

Until when will they be up?

Yes it is open for submissions and will be open for quite a long time.

And DHolland goes 5th fastest.
Now he's WRS'ing again. Although joshmuggo and Animera could be a match for him.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Need a little help here. When I qualified for WRS I did not put my country (USA) when in entered my qualifier times. How can I correct this.

You need Joost.

Am I missing something , or did DHolland get a seconds shot at qualifying to the GT5_WRS ?

Can I do it too , now that I know how mutch faster I need to be to qualify in higher division?

Let's assume , that I break the rules by publishing my sector time/s .
This will result as removal of my times from reqistery.
I will be able to resubmit my "faster" times..

Now , I'm not going to do this , but I see here a loophole of a kind ( that can be fixed with new qualifier )

The Admins were pretty clear last week that there will be no re-submissions on the qualifier. You could try it, but they will catch you eventually, and usually sooner rather than later.

According to this he had to.

 

[dranddad]

Eligible to re-submit.

It also says this in the post, so welcome Dan glad your here 👍

Phillip.

 

[Akmuq]

The lap he had put on Youtube was after practicing and competing with the DS3. Might explain why he wasn't gold. That could be why he could re-submit, as he would go miles faster anyways.

1) do you get feedback that your qualifying time is recived ?
2) how is handicap calculated ? is it super secret formula or one can get it ?

1....Watch this thread for updates.
If you need to supply a replay you will be notified by private message with instructions.

2....

Yes, we will send instructions to everyone that needs to send a replay.



0.000 is intended to be a theoretical minimum possible time.

The handicap is calculated as follows:
step 1: take the fastest 50% of the submissions
step 2: find the mean and standard deviation of this subset
step 3: two standard deviations faster than this mean is the "zero par"
step 4: zero par is assigned a handicap value of 1.000
step 5: various multiples of the standard deviation are added to this zero par time to find 0.000, 2.000, 3.000, etc.

Do I understand correctly then that I, with a handicap of 1.847, am 0.939 (0.847+0.092) of a standard deviation for the fastest 50% of the submitted times slower than aussienicko?

Not quite. There is a multiple of the standard deviation (which will remain secret, and may change from event to event, but is close to 1) applied to each division. I can say that the division 0 multiple for the qualifier was about -0.6, so the time associated with a 0.000 par time is:

(1.000 par time) - ((top 50% std deviation) * 0.6)​

There's an additional control for the Gold/Silver/Bronze curve shape, but I think I'll stop while I'm ahead and not try to explain that.

Confused yet?

Welcome to the GTPlanet and the Registry.

 

[GTP_Grozni]

01GTP thank you very much for superb reply.
Strange enough, this calculating doesnt confuse me at all
Just what i needed

 

[jbrinkley0826]

I'm glad someone understands it..... I thought about trying to figure it out, but didn't see any reason...... all I need to worry about is going faster. :-)

His original submission was DQ'd.

Read about it here in the disciplinary log.

Nicely done, Kenny!! 👍
Dan has proven to be the exception to the rule, but not without merit. He didn't alter his video to make himself look faster, he doesn't have to. But he knowingly broke the rules again and posted an easy reference as to how to go faster, by allowing others to see his lap before the deadline had arrived. He's guilty of violating the "Spirit" of the WRS in that this is supposed to be an individual competition, not follow the leader. In this age of immediate communication, that line is becoming increasingly thin, which is why I'm glad that the infraction is noted, but also glad he's back racing.
Welcome back, Dan!
It also leads me to wonder how different are his actions different from our own? Is the communication we do at team SMART, and the rest of you teams, a violation of that same ""Spirit", or else is it the "fruit of our labors"? 💡
Dan has an ample opportunity to show and share his skills, and he knows what the rules are here. We all try to post advice on how to go faster, and Rudi was quick to post his set-up, so this is not a secret society. Dan is guilty of providing the short-cut to speed through a visual media, while Rudi provided his set-up WITHOUT inferring lap time. You just called Shigegaki out on the same thing. He was inferring a lap-time. That's a different competition, not WRS.

I'm not drinking coffee, and I'm not driving.

Race On!

Who is this Kenny you speak of? i know it isn't me as i know i haven't said my name on GTPlanet before but it is Ken so this has caught my interest as to who shares my name.

 

[01GTP]

I do.

I haven't said those words for about 21.5 years.

What are these "teams" that you speak of? The only team I am a member of is me and my dog, and he has been rather unhelpful with tunes or advice.

 

[01GTP]

That would be Team SMART.

It's just a couple of us that have got together at Chuk's for the last couple of years and race GT.
We used GT4 until GT5 came out and have had some special guests (look a couple posts back) join us from time to time.

We also are no good at tuning or advice.
Check the link in my signature for a few pictures.

That looks awesome.👍 Very cool to get that many people serious about the game together for some fun racing.

Must be a dog thing, mines rubbish with tuning tips too.
