PS5 TEAM ENDURANCE S2

For league related enquiries or questions, your first point of contact should be a staff member within the tier you are assigned to. Upon joining a league, it will be made clear who your tier's coordinators are.

Example reasons to contact them could be:
● To get information about your tier
● To ask questions related to the league
● If you are unhappy about something, either with regards to a race or something on the forums

If you have an issue with your coordinator and would rather discuss the issue with someone else, then seek out another person from the below list and address the issue to them. Our coordinators and moderators are expected to remain completely unbiased, and as long as you address the situation sensibly and maturely they will be happy to discuss any issues no matter who it is with.

The following members are currently part of the team running the AOR ACC Leagues:

• 3.1 Success Penalties

  • Teams which are placed in the top 3 of the OVERALL championship will be given a success penalty from race 2 onwards. 
    
    The penalty will be applied in the form of ballast weight as follows;

    1st = 30 KG
    2nd = 20 KG
    3rd = 10 KG

    We reserve the right to adjust these figures throughout the season if we feel it is in the best interest of the league.

• 3.2 Points System

  • The following points will be scored for each race finishing position.
    The ‘sprint race’ points system will be used for the first 5 races of the season with the ‘main race’ points system been used for the final race only. Making the final 9 hour race worth double points.

• 3.3 DSC

  • A driver/team who disconnects at any stage of the race, may rejoin the game session and carry on racing (they will be ## laps down) If you retire to the pits you may also rejoin the race (## laps down). If you do DSC and do not rejoin the race then you will not score points and will be classified as DSC (Disconnected) in the race results (please remember if you do rejoin you will be laps down and the cars in front have priority).

• 3.4 DNF

  • Teams who complete less than 90% of the race distance will be classified as DNF (Did Not Finish) in the race results and will score 0 points regardless of their final position. We reserve the right to adjust this value case by case due to this being endurance racing.

• 3.5 DSQ

  • Teams who get disqualified from a race - whether that be due to an in-game penalty or post-race disqualification via the stewards panel - will be classified as a DSQ (Disqualified) and moved below all other teams in the results. A DSQ due to an in-game penalty can be appealed via the stewards panel.

    
    If a driver is classified as DSQ within a points scoring position, they will score 0 points for that position regardless of race distance completed.
    
    

• 3.6 DNS

  • Active league teams who did not attend the race will be classified as DNS (Did Not Start), and will not score any points.

• 3.7 Championship Standings

  • Teams are ranked in the standings based on how many points they've scored over the course of the season in both the overall championship and the team class championship. If two or more teams are tied on points, the higher place in the standings will be awarded the holder of most first places. If the number of first places is the same, the holder of most second places, then third places and so on until a winner emerges.

    
    At the end of the season, results of all races count.

How To Do A Driver Swap On PS5

• 4.1 How To Perform A Driver Swap

  • Whoever is driving the car must ensure their team mate is showing as connected in the menu at the top of the screen.

    The driver must then make sure they have selected their teammate in the pit strategy MFD menu, before stopping in their pit box.

    The game will automatically apply the pit strategy the driver has selected for the next driver. Including damage repairs, tyre pressures, etc.

    The driver will enter the pit box as normal, they will have the pit timer displayed.

    The awaiting driver will not have the pit timer displayed.

    When the pitstop is complete, the awaiting driver will take control of the car.

Connection & Disconnection Guidelines

• 5.1 Joining the Server

  • IT IS THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THE TEAM TO JOIN THE SERVER CORRECTLY

    SERVER RESETS WILL ONLY OCCUR IF THERE IS A SERVER ISSUE OR ADMIN ERROR

    When joining the server for the first time, the first driver from the team to enter the server will create the entry for that team (car and livery).

    The second driver should wait for the first driver to be fully connected in the lobby before joining.

    We recommend been in a party chat with your team so you can confirm they are in and connected.

    From this point forward the driver in control of the car MUST NOT leave the server or else the car will be lost and only be recoverable as explained below.

• 5.2 Disconnecting from the server

  • A driver not currently in control of the car can leave and re-join the server freely.
    
    The driver in control of the car cannot disconnect from the server until they pass control of the car to a teammate. 
    
    If someone is driving the car and they disconnect from the server, the entire team will need to leave the server. From there the team will have to re-join the server in the same order they joined originally. Once the team re-joins in the correct order, the first driver will have control of the car. If your team re-joins in the incorrect order, you will not be able to re-join the race

    ACC has the ability to let you rejoin the session at any time. We encourage to rejoin the session so that you still score points for the championship.

• 5.3 Mass Disconnections

  • During the race, if half (or more) of the drivers in a race lose connection at the same time, or over a short period of time, that counts as a mass disconnection.
    - If less than 30 minutes of the race was completed at the time of the mass disconnection, the race will be restarted as soon as possible.
    - If more than 30 minutes of the race was completed at the time of the mass disconnection, the race will end, and the race will be postponed
    

• 5.4 Postponing A Race

  • Unfortunately, sometimes the technology that allows us to go racing, turns against us. This means we may have to post-pone or cancel a race. If we do so, it's because we feel it's the fairest option for everyone.
    If a race is postponed or cancelled, the round in question will take place in the break week or after the season normally would have ended. This is to keep the rest of the calendar in sync for social media promotion and any interim leagues we run.
    
    Reasons we may postpone or cancel a race include:
    - Lobby/Connection issues: If drivers are continuously getting dropped and there is no way of keeping everyone in the lobby, then we may postpone the race rather than having a very small grid.
    - Mass Disconnection: See above.

Known Bugs & Solutions

• 6.1 New or Unpublished Glitches

  • If you come across a glitch or issue not listed here. Please report it to the coordinators with as much detail as possible. Videos, images, detailed explanation and if you know a work around will all help. We can them publish them here for everyone. 

• 6.2 When DRIVE Is Pressed, The Game Defaults To The Incorrect Car (Spectator/Not Driving)

  • If, when you have pressed drive (as spectator), the game automatically defaults to a different car, there is a solution as follows

    1. Return to garage
    2. Highlight the driver you wish to view and select them
    3. Select REPLAY at the top of the screen
    4. Exit the REPLAY
    5. Return to garage
    6. Highlight the driver you wish to view and select them
    7. Press DRIVE.
• 6.3 Steering Wheel Glitch

  • There is a glitch, where after the driver swap occurs, some wheels are locking or vibrating. 

    The fix is to reset your PS5 after you have given control of the car to the next driver. 

    Reports so far are that this only occurs to some of the Logitech G29 wheels, not all of them.

In the past we used a PayPal moneypool to give you the possibility to support us with the servercosts on both the PC and PS side of things. Since PayPal decided to shut down the moneypool functionality and service, we started looking for a place where not only you could show your support - but also a place where we could give you something in return. That's why we decided to join Patreon. You can now become a supporter (also known as subscribing) and pick one of the four available tiers. Based on which tier you pick you get something in return. Examples: a supporter role in Discord, polls for future events and leagues To find out more about our Patreon page or to subscribe, please click HERE

Hotstints are no longer required

The evaluation race will take place on September 16th at Paul Ricard.

All teams must attend the evaluation race with a minimum of 2 drivers, there will be a mandatory driver change.

Server will reset at 14:00UK

Practice - 30 min

Qualifying - 20 min

Race - 2 hours

We will use this opportunity to assess the pace of all teams. We will then place all of the teams using the information gathered from the evaluation race and the hotstints to place the teams into the relevant categories.

• 2.1 Being lapped
  • 2.1.1
    We are running with the in-game rules & flags system, which means that the game should alert you with a blue flag when you are about to be lapped. When receiving a blue flag or know that a car is going to lap you and is approaching from behind, you should stick to your racing line and not make any move to defend, however there is no expectation to lift off to allow the car behind past. If as a lapped car you choose to allow the car behind through you should make it clear and obvious what your intentions are to avoid any unnecessary collision from misunderstandings.
  • 2.1.2
    As a means of helping with blue flags, we advise the leaders to flash their lights at cars due to be lapped. This should not be done excessively. This is their cue to inform that the driver on the lead lap is about to go for a move on the driver being lapped. Flashing your lights at a competitor you are racing for position is not to be used as a "distraction technique" or in anger at an incident.
  • 2.1.3
    If you are faster than a car that has lapped you already, you are allowed to unlap yourself, however this should be done in a clear and safe manner.
• 2.2 Pit stops
  • 2.2.1
    Stay within the white line and obey the speed limit when entering and exiting the pit lane. If you cause a dangerous situation by crossing the pit entrance or exit line, or if this is done in a way that blatantly gains time or track position, you will be penalised. Remember to assign your pit limiter button as well. The speed limit line is enforced by ACC.
  • 2.2.2
    Each race will have it's own specific requirements for pitstops.
  • 2.2.3
    Any mandatory pit stops must be served after the official widget start and earliest at the end of lap 1. This takes into account the potential for having been lapped. Failing to observe this rule will cause a race DSQ.
• 2.3 Driving in different conditions
  • 2.3.1
    For races that take place at night time, all drivers are required to have their headlights on in order to make your car visible to others, and to make the road more visible for you. If you're involved in an accident which damages both of your headlights, you must return to the pits immediately for repairs. Please also make sure you have a button assigned to turn the headlights on.
  • 2.3.2
    The above rule about having headlights on also applies to running in the fog and in the rain.
  • 2.3.3
    During rainy conditions, having the rain lights turned on is mandatory.
  • 2.3.4
    For races with rain or a chance of rain, please make sure you have a button assigned to turn the wipers on, or have the auto-wipers feature turned on.
• 2.4 Return to pit box
  • If at any point in qualifying you want to return to the pit box, please do this off-track or manually drive to the pits.
• 2.5 In-Game Disqualification
  • If you are disqualified from the race in-game and you feel it's unfair, submit your full race replay to the stewards. If we feel that the disqualification was justified, it will remain. However if we feel that the disqualification was unfair, or a result of a game glitch, then you will be classified as the last finisher and score full points for that position. In case you get disqualified when coming across the finish-line, you can be put back to your original finishing position.
• 2.6 Formation lap/start
  • Drivers are at all times supposed to respect and strictly follow the instructions given by the in-game widget. Drive through penalties awarded by the game will not be reverted. Long formation lap is being used in our league races.
• 2.7 Restarts
  • 2.7.1
    In case of a major incident involving a massive number of cars in the first lap of the race, or general problems with the servers, the coordinator(s) of the tier are allowed to announce a session restart at their own discretion. The decision made by the coordinator should not be discussed during the race, if you feel like the restart wasn't needed then please contact your coordinator after the race. Only one restart will be done per race week.
  • 2.7.2
    Any incidents happening before the restart, are still reportable and will be looked at by the stewards.

• 3.1 Communication
  • 3.1.1
    A driver briefing can be done in the tier channel on Discord by the coordinator. This depends on what the coordinator prefers and the coordinator will announce it before the start of the season.
  • 3.1.2
    Not being up to date due to not reading the tier channel in Discord, cannot be used as an excuse.
  • 3.1.3
    PSN leagues have access to the Discord server, which acts as one of the official communication platforms in AOR.
• 3.2 Lobby etiquette
  • 3.2.1
    Shouting, name-calling and generally speaking rudely is not acceptable. Drivers who are a disruptive influence on the lobby atmosphere will be penalised accordingly, or in extreme cases removed from the league.
  • 3.2.2
    Respect the other drivers. Keep a friendly atmosphere in the race lobby and treat your fellow drivers as equals, regardless of them being quicker or slower than you.
  • 3.2.3
    Respect the League Coordinator. Listen if he is giving a message, and accept the decisions he makes. If you feel any actions/decisions are wrong, address the issue calmly and maturely. Coordinators' decisions are final within the lobby, but may be reviewed later if you feel an error has been made. Please accept that making a call instantly can be tricky and the Coordinator, even if participating in the race, is expected to be entirely neutral.
• 3.3 Race etiquette
  • 3.3.1
    If you are involved in an on-track incident, don't overreact. It may be frustrating, but you need to stay calm and get on with it. Losing out due to another driver's mistake or recklessness is no excuse for retaliation or acting against the rules.
  • 3.3.2
    If another driver does something you feel is against the rules, report it to the Stewards Panel after the race rather than argue about it over the voice chat or in the forums post-race.
  • 3.3.3
    If you are having a bad race, don't act foolishly. As a driver, you have to accept that some races will be better than others and you can't always have it your way. If you are unable to enjoy the racing due to not always being at the front, this is not the place for you - there are many drivers in the league, and someone will always have to be at the back.
  • 3.3.4
    Wait until everyone has finished the session, both qualifying and race, to discuss the race either on Discord or using the in-game chat.
  • 3.3.5
    The cool down lap is part of the race event and therefore the same rules are being applied. Crashing into each other is not allowed during the cool down lap or any other particular time during the race event.
  • 3.3.6
    Penalties will be applied to drivers who knowingly take out brake marker boards and other signs that could be used as reference points.
• 3.4 Rage-quitting
  • 3.4.1
    Deliberately quitting the race in any way - whether that is by quitting through the pause menu, getting yourself disqualified or deliberately crashing your car - is not allowed, unless you have a very good reason to do so. Accepted reasons for quitting could be that you are a danger to other drivers on track due to poor driving or connection issues. Quitting because you "couldn't be bothered" or due to being angry at something - rage-quitting, in other words - are not good reasons.
  • 3.4.2
    Excuses such as 'poor driving' and 'connection issues' will be monitored. These are not a get-out of jail free cards if you can't be bothered. Poor driving is occasional, if perhaps life has been unkind and you haven't had as much time to practice. However, turning up each week having not practiced, and therefore not enjoying your racing because you're struggling will see you put under review. We don't expect every driver to complete a certain amount of practice each week, but we expect you to be able to control your car and be safe on track. Also the more practice you do, the more competitive you are.
  • 3.4.3
    Connection issues can strike anybody, but drivers who are continually unable to race safely due to connection will be removed from the league - see Connection and Lag under Participation.
  • 3.4.4
    Repeatedly quitting the race before it has finished, gives your coordinator team the freedom to remove you from the league. This may also mean that you will not be accepted in the league for the next season.
• 3.5 Forums and Discord
  • 3.5.1
    You will need an account on the AOR forums and you'll also need to be on the AOR Discord server while being a driver in our leagues. It is encouraged to get involved with the community in the chats on Discord. If staff members are trying to contact you for whatever reason, they are likely to message you on Discord.
  • 3.5.2
    You are expected to behave in a respectful manner on the AOR Discord, like in the race lobbies. Please avoid name-calling, baiting and other behaviour that is intended to aggravate other members of the community.

• 4.1 Completing races

  • To be eligible for being classified points after a race, you must have completed at least 90% of the race. The amount of laps the winner of the race drove, is considered to be 100%.

    As mentioned in the info section 3.4, we reserve the right to adjust this value case by case due to this being endurance racing. 

• 4.2 Missing races
  • 4.2.1
    If your team are unable to attend a race, you have to give sufficient notice for your absence before the race starts. You can sign out from a race through the apexonline.racing webpage. For every race there is an option to sign out from the race.
  • 4.2.2
    When informing the coordinator of your absence, a proper reason must be given for why you can't attend. No-showing a race because you don't like the track, because you "can't be bothered", or other similar reasons are not accepted and you position in the league will be put under review immediately. If your social life/work/school is taking up more time than you anticipated then we may consider a reserve role for you. Ultimately we can also decide that it's best if you withdraw from the league completely. Drivers are required to regularly race on race day as part of the sign-up process.
  • 4.2.3
    You are supposed to sign out from a race at least 90 minutes before the race. This gives the coordinators enough time to contact reserve drivers who can then still practice as well.
  • 4.2.4
    If you are absent without informing your league coordinator or signing out through the webpage at least twice, the coordinator of your tier can decide to remove you from the league. This may also result in you not being allowed to join the league the following season(s).
  • 4.2.5
    The official starting time of a race will be stated in the race thread of every race. If everything goes according to plan, races start at this official starting time. In case of a race starting earlier or later than the official starting time, a coordinator will let all drivers of the tier know.
  • 4.2.6
    Getting another driver to race in your name is completely prohibited and will result in serious punishment.
• 4.3 Connection & Lag
  • It's an unfortunate aspect of online racing that having a stable connection can be critical to being able to race closely with other cars. While we understand that not everyone can have perfect connections, and that occasional lag can't be avoided, we reserve the right to ask a driver to step down from the league if their connection is causing too many issues for other drivers.
• 4.4 Pulling out mid-season
  • 4.4.1
    Commitment and good communications are very important on AOR. If you have to pull out of an ACC league while the season is ongoing, you must let a member of the ACC Coordinator team know. If you leave by simply not showing up for the races, without informing anyone, the coordinators reserve the right to remove you from the league and put your name on the blacklist, which means you might not be allowed to rejoin the leagues in the current and future seasons.
  • 4.4.2
    It's impossible for us to stop anyone from leaving if they've made their mind up, but keep in mind when signing up that pulling out of the league without a proper reason while the season is ongoing will possibly see you placed on the blacklist. A proper reason would be something happening in your life that forces you to quit - something that you didn't expect when signing up - or that your equipment (hardware or lag issues) leave you unable to carry on. However, choosing to quit due to getting bored of the game, having a bad season or because something goes against you, is not a good reason. Remember, when signing up you commit yourself to racing for a full season, not only for a few races.
  • 4.4.3
    If you find yourself in a situation where you're not enjoying your league because all other drivers are too quick or too slow compared to yourself, contact one of the AOR ACC coordinators rather than just giving up - and maybe we can find a solution. We may grant league swaps for drivers during the season if it's clear that they've been misplaced, given that this doesn't upset the balance between the leagues with regards to driver numbers.
  • 4.4.4
    Note that the above rules only apply while the season is ongoing. We don't have a problem with drivers choosing to leave after a season has finished, for whatever reason.

• 5.1 Stewarding systems

  • The stewarding system works from the website here. If you wish to submit an enquiry you must follow the process listed below.

• 5.2 Saving Replays

  • As a means of helping the stewards with their enquiries, all PlayStation drivers are required to record their race and to use the 'Save Replay' function of any incidents they are involved in on track.

    The replay function is a useful tool for showing various angles of an incident, help us make an informed decision with those various angles, minimum onboard & offboard footage of both drivers.
    
    When submitting a stewards inquiry, you must include your onboard footage AND replay evidence as described above.
    
    If you do not include both your race recording and a replay showing the above requirements your inquiry will be rejected.

• 5.3 Stewards Panel
  • 5.3.1
    The Stewards Panel can be used to report incidents and other rule violations that occur in a race. A proper explanation and/or evidence of the incident must be provided in order for it to be investigated. This will then be looked into by the stewards and appropriate action will be taken.
  • 5.3.2
    What you can make a stewards enquiry for:
    Racing incidents: If you feel another driver has caused an incident - eg. hitting your car, forcing you off the track, or generally driving too aggressively - you should report this to the stewards for investigation.
    Track limits: If you witness another driver persistently gaining time by abusing the track limits by either running wide or cutting corners, you should report this to the stewards for investigation.
    Dangerous driving: If a driver rejoins the track in an unsafe or dangerous manner, or drives in a way that is a danger to other cars, you should report it to the stewards.
    
    You should report incidents that you are involved in. Reporting an incident that you heard about, or saw behind you for example, will not be accepted. This is to lower the risk of a "nit-picking" environment. Two drivers may collide, shake hands and speak no more of it. If someone goes and starts causing trouble for the sake of it, the enquiries will be closed if those involved in the incident prefer it to go no further.
    Members of the @ACC Coordinator group, may open steward enquiries on any driver.
  • 5.3.3
    Time limit for enquiries: Note that enquiries need to be submitted up to a week after the race (the Saturday after) 15:00PM UK time for incidents you have been involved in. If any new rule violations come to light through videos released after this time, it is still possible to report this, but only if this violation is something that was not visible to the other driver(s) in the race at the time it happened.
  • 5.3.4
    Uploading video evidence: Any video evidence submitted in a stewards enquiry must be uploaded to a video streaming site (such as YouTube and Streamable) before being embedded and/or linked to in the enquiry thread. Stewards should not have to download video files in order to watch your evidence. The following elements, recorded from the race replay, are required in the video: - Cockpit and Chase point of view of the driver submitting the enquiry, recorded at normal speed and with HUD activated - Cockpit and Chase point of view of the driver who caused the incident, recorded at normal speed and with HUD activated Any additional point of view can be added after the required elements. When the enquiry is related to ignoring blue flags, the cockpit point of views are not a requirement. If the video evidence is part of a longer video that also contains other parts of the race, a time stamp must be provided next to the video to guide the stewards to the relevant part of the video where the evidence can be found. Failing to do this may lead to the evidence being dismissed.
• 5.4 Race Penalties
  • 5.4.1
    The stewards have a variety of penalties that may be applied to punish teams who break our racing rules, depending on the severity of the violation.
    The available penalties received in the stewards panel are sorted below, in order of severity and will depend on the Stewards decision. Penalty points may or may not be added to the Teams License - see further down for more details. (Note that penalties may be added together in the event of multiple violations in a race, which could result in total time penalties of a higher number than what is suggested below)
    0-10 race results points reduction - Driving in a dangerous or unsporting manner.
    0-20 race results points reduction - Causing a minor avoidable collision.
    0-30 race results points reduction - Causing a moderate avoidable collision.
    0-40 race results points reduction - Causing a significant avoidable collision.
    0-50 race results points reduction - Causing a major avoidable collision.
    The above means that the winner of a race could receive fewer points than the driver who finished in P2. This would mean that the winner of that race was to blame for causing a collision, while the P2 finisher had a clean race.
  • 5.4.2
    Modifiers to Race Penalties in the stewards panel
    Returning the position after an avoidable collision may result in the points deduction being reduced. Stewards encourage giving the position back or an attempt at waiting.
    Causing an avoidable incident in the opening lap may result in an increase of result points deduction.
    If the consequences of a penalty are worse or not as bad as the contact itself, the points reduction may be higher/lower than the usual punishments mentioned in the overview above.
    Not slowing down when clearly witnessing an incident in front of you, may result in an increase of result points deduction.
• 5.5 Drivers License Penalties
  • 5.5.1
    The Teams License points system is a way of keeping track of a teams record of breaking the rules of clean racing, and to more severely punish repeat offenders. Team License Points will not be influenced by external circumstances related to an incident, they will only be given for the severity of an incident. Team License Points may or may not be applied alongside race penalties, as per the list below.
    5 points - Driving in a dangerous or unsporting manner.
    5 points - Causing a minor avoidable collision.
    10 points - Causing a moderate avoidable collision.
    15 points - Causing a significant avoidable collision.
    20 points - Causing a major avoidable collision.
    
  • 5.5.2
    Modifiers to Driver’s License Penalties: +5 points - Causing an avoidable incident in the opening lap
  • 5.5.3
    Clean Racing Award: -5 points - Completing a race without any penalty. (Note: points balance won't go below 0)
  • 5.5.4
    Driver’s License accumulations:
    If you accumulate 20 points, you will be awarded a qualifying ban
    If you accumulate 40 points, you will be awarded a race ban
    If you accumulate 50 points, your league status will be put under review, with the likely outcome of being removed from the league
    
  • 5.5.5
    Driver’s License points will be accumulated as a team and any resulting penalties will be applied to the team. The License points from this league will not carry over into any other league
  • 5.5.6
    Any penalties will be aimed at the team who has done wrong - we cannot compensate another team as a result of someone's actions. All penalties are discussed by the Stewards Panel (consisting of the members of the AOR ACC Team - Admins, Moderators and Coordinators - from all platforms) before being issued and the driver will always be informed of the outcome. The Stewards Panel is completely neutral and will not include anyone who may be affected by the incident in question with race results or championship points.
• 5.6 Reprimand system
  • While the race penalties and penalty points systems are aimed at dealing with on-track issues, the reprimand system deals with issues that may occur off the track. If you receive 3 reprimands, you're out. Receiving 3 reprimands would also see you placed on the blacklist, meaning you would not be allowed to return to the leagues in the future. You can receive a reprimand for the following:
    
    ● Deliberately crashing out of the session
    ● Showing abusive behavior towards another driver, either in the race lobby, discord or on the forum
    ● Intentionally hiding/removing evidence and/or footage to avoid receiving a penalty in an enquiry
    
    Note that if we encounter situations where someone's behaviour gets completely out of hand and is extremely serious, a ban may be applied directly regardless of reprimands accumulated.
• 5.7 Blacklist
  • The blacklist contains the names of drivers who have been removed from the leagues - either through accumulating 50 penalty points from the stewards panel, due to not attending races regularly - and drivers who have left the leagues during an ongoing season without a valid reason. Having your name applied to the blacklist generally means you will not be allowed to rejoin the leagues in the current and next season.
