The Basics
Your Fantasy WRC team will begin with a budget of 10.00 which can be used to 'Buy' drivers
to represent your team. You can select up to 6 drivers, so long as your budget allows. Driver
'prices' are a fictitious price assigned for the purpose of this competition.
You are able to change your drivers as often as you like throughout the year, although all selections are frozen once we reach the 'cut-off' for each rally. Once the scores are updated at the end of the rally, and once the entry list is published for the next event, you will be able to change your driver line-up for the next event. There is no limit to the number of changes you can make throughout the year.
Driver Prices
After each rally has been completed, and all points have been updated for the
competition, the drivers values will be measured against their expected scores in this competition. Driver values will be
adjusted (up or down) in line with their scores for that event. For details on how that adjustment is calculated, see the
Driver Values Explained page.
Any driver changes made after this adjustment will be done at the new price.
Where a drivers value increases, it will also increase the budget for all teams who had that driver in their line-up at the time the change was made. Therefore if one of your drivers value changes from 1.0 to 1.1, your team budget will increase from 10.0 to 10.1. If you choose to transfer this driver out of your team after the increase in value, you will still be able to spend up to 10.1 on your drivers. (the value of teams can go down as well as up!!!)
Scores
All selected drivers will score points for your team based on their
performance in each rally, as set out on the How to Score page.
Timings
The 'cut-off' for any changes to your team is the scheduled start time of SS1.
After this time any driver selections will be prohibited until after the completion of the rally.
Entry Limit
Each player is entitled to 1
free entry into this competition each year. Players wishing to submit more than 1 entry
should consider making a donation
to my running costs, which will result in an account upgrade. Upgraded accounts can
submit up to 5 entries in this competition.
Rally Result
All results will be taken from the ewrc-results.com.
Any subsequent amendments to these results will lead to the competition scores being
re-calculated, but only where amendments to the rally results are known and published
ahead of the following rally cut-off. Any amendments that occur after this
period will be disregarded. Any amendments after the final rally of the season will only
be recognised if full details are published within 1 week of the completion
of the rally. In all instances, where a result is amended after the original competition
update, drivers values will be corrected, as will teams budgets. If a corrected result leads to a team
overspending on their drivers they will not be forced to repay but the overspend will be collected when
the next driver transfer occurs.
Driver
If your selected driver does not compete you WILL NOT score points awarded to any replacement driver. It is
your responsibility to change your drivers, when permitted, ahead of the cut-off
if your driver is not taking part in the rally. If your driver moves to another team/class
in the championship during the season you will continue to score points for that
driver with their new team. No driver prices will be adjusted outside of the performance related adjustments
made on rally results, so a driver being promoted to a Rally1 drive from a lower category is likely be a bargain!.
Times
All times stated on this website are GMT (unless otherwise stated). Any validations based on time will
be determined by the SERVER timestamp that this competition is running on. Although
the time is frequently checked, it is up to you to ensure your entry and/or changes
are submitted in good time before the rally cutoff. You are also able to adjust the displayed
time in the Account area if you are in a different time zone.
League Tables
The league positions are determined by the number of points scored by each team. Where points are tied, positions will
also be tied. There are no prizes for this competition so if the final results lead to a tie, you'll just have to share the step
of the virtual podium.
