Note that entries for events are now formed via the results from the previous round. If you sat out last week's round, you will have to submit a post or inform Doova that you will officially be back in for this week's race. This is to avoid confusion when we are organising hosting for the heat races.

Participants who have already scored points will have first options on the available entries, ranked by the current points table. Please advise us if you can't make a particular round so we can make room for reserves. If you are a reserve, sign on and we will invite you on the night if a position is ready.

Also note that entries are now limited to 32. We may consider expanding this in the future.

Riders who want to be on the reserve entry list can also join. Entries can be made on this page below and then we will add you to the entry list.

RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS (please read carefully):
* This tournament is currently limited to Playstation 3 players. We have a separate series for X Box players.

* Entrants must be members on MotoOnline.com.au.

* The entry limit will be 32 riders at this stage as we develop the tournament.

* Entries close at 5.00pm on race day with no exceptions.

* Upon entering, state your username on our forum and also add each of our participants as friends on the Playstation Network for invitations to the games.

* Nominated hosts will host the games and invite riders approximately 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time. The race will start at the exact listed start time (as long as the PS Network is functioning correctly), so if you're not online then you forfeit the round.

* All riders must quit the private session following your heat race and remain patient while waiting for the official Motos before we invite you to the Moto that you qualified for.

* Should anybody have trouble entering the private room after more than three invites then the event will go ahead without you for the round.

* Note that if any of us lose our internet connection and are kicked out of the room during the final then we will be scored with last place points for the round.

* If the host is kicked out during the session if it is the main event then continue and inform us of the final results afterwards.

* Should a dedicated round host not be featured in either A-Main or B-Main, we will organise one of the participants in that particular final to host the race. Hosts will work this out between us and then all participants will receive the invite to their particular final from an entrant within the round.

* If you are not invited to your main event due to not being on our selected hosts friends list then you will miss out, so make sure you add everyone early in the week so all have time to accept the friend requests!

* If there is some sort of a mistake on the evening and you are invited to the wrong final by accident, relax it is only a game. Accept it, try your best and we will sort out your points following the round.

* A new rule is that you can drop your worst round at the end of the series to determine the overall championship result (in case some have to miss a round due to other obligations, etc).

NOTES:
* Final instructions will be posted on MotoOnline.com.au in this thread before 6:00pm NSW time on the day of the race, confirming the final entry list, the running of the event, listing your heat race allocation and nominated host for that particular event.

* Some users on the PS3 Network can't get in with other users. Most do, however if yours doesn't allow you in the room and says it's no longer available then we can not help this. The regulars will always be favoured when two particular systems don't allow a user to enter together.

* Results will be posted directly after each round.

* Entries for events are now formed via the results from the previous round. If you sat out last week's round, you will have to submit a post or inform or Doova that you will officially be back in for this week's race. This is to avoid confusion when we are organising hosting for the heat races.

Good luck to all and thanks for supporting the series and MotoOnline.com.au!
