    Welcome to the Grand Prix of Rainbow Racing, all the quickest drivers from around the rainbow racing world will be attending. Racing teams of three members will duke it out for points to claim wealth, fame, and glory.

    The Grand Prix will be held over the coarse of 6 tracks with your team trying to gain points on each track.
    Current Tracks:
    [RR] Short Track
    [RR] Metal Mania Circuit
    [RR] Elodeas Cats
    [RR] Nurburgring Raceway
    2 other maps are in the process of being made!

    Top 10 finishers from each track get points towards there teams.
    1st = 20 points
    2nd = 15 points
    3rd = 12 points
    4th = 9 points
    5th = 7 points
    6th = 5 points
    7th = 4 points
    8th = 3 points
    9th = 2 points
    10th = 1 points

    Tracks are going to modified for this event to have the amount of spawns needed. i'm going to modify the tower to not kill anyone and have 10 metal spots at the end of the track so that the first 10 people to the finish get to build towers and claim there place.

    1st Place team will take home 15$ each and get to each customize a car for the game from the available commanders
    2nd Place team will take home 5$ each

    If the prize pool increases I will add more teams earning cash prizes and increase the current cash prizes per team.
    Current prize pool 60$
    If you wish to bolster the prize pool please contact me on forums. @reptarking

    Sign ups will be done through a Google sheet currently at:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uSwze2bvIDIaIv-HGeWTFpm3eTeREjbkvCiimQDj3_A/edit?usp=sharing

    The version of Rainbow Racers being used will be determined and locked in a week before the event. download rainbow racers in the server mod section of PAMM, get the maps for Rainbow racers in the Community map pack on the ui mod section of PAMM.

    @proeleert @Quitch @Bsport not sure if exodus's site could do this with having people sign up for teams of 3 with there cars linked to each player so i just made a google sheet. also not sure if tournaments with points in this format can be done on EE site currently. If both are possible i would love to get this all going through exodus

    How about individual results also being tracked, and the top individual gets a prize? Sort of mirroring how in real life there is a drivers championship and a constructors championship. I can kick in $20 for that, if it wouldn't make tracking the results a nightmare.

    Can you already track who is top 10, without relying on someone's word? Or do you just chronocam it?

    Why do players have to stick to their cars ? Will be a mess to check I think.

    Sounds like an awful lot of manual work to doublecheck the cars / results.

    I think we can whip up something that can replace the google signup doc.

    You should include a list of available cars and stats so that everyone can pick cars for their team :)

    Also, wouldn't it make sense to have 4 members in your team instead of 3? Because there are 4 tracks.

    I have no way to track cars other then what I see in lobby currently.
    For results I'm thinking of ways to tell that. Slowing down the tower might help clear iy up. Or for this event only I can make the trophy not kill people at have 10 metal spots at end.

    @proeleert changed the rules so that people can switch between there cars each race. Only way i could police it was having people scan the giant lobby before race started and that's not something I want to ask people so i just changed the rule. also im going to be just making the tower not kill people in the event version of the server mod that way i can have 10 metal spots and just have the first 10 finishers place there towers so we can see on PAStats who placed when

    Don't know if anyone has time to do one of these...

    - A custom server with modified server-script could probably enforce a static premade player-car mapping.
    - A client (or server UI) mod with the mapping could validate that all are correct.
    - A server UI mod could give each player only his allowed car.
