Any complaints will be sent to Series Race Administrator

All members must have DSL or Cable.
The Server will be reset just before qualifying, no drivers can leave the server. If any driver does leave they will not be allowed to race.
We are all adults and feel that with respect and honor most everyone will drive with caution and care.
Teamspeak is a place to get to know each other and have fun. Unfortunately sometimes people can get their feelings hurt with teasing, joking etc. (please have a thick skin sometimes when needed).
Important... At no time do we ever under racing conditions ever blame others for wrecking. Teamspeak is for information realtime whats going on. If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.
Our intent is quite simple, if drivers race clean and safe you are always in good standing with ASRacingN2K3.
New rules will be added if there are unseen problems by suggestions and voting of league Administrators.
The Administrator would courteously ask all drivers in a race to keep chatter to a very minimum during caution periods. We ask this so all drivers can hear their spotters. This will cut down in any confusion as where to be in the lineup BEFORE going back to green.
Clearing of black flags must be kept to a minimum. It is the racers responsibility to ensure they are listening to their spotter for positioning. Administrators will not clear black flags due to racers inattention. Game glitches will be the only exception and this will be determined by the administrator, the decision made by the administrator is final.
1. Absolutely no flaming. Never criticize anyone's driving during race. Complaints will be sent to Race Administrator...(There will be absolutely no tolerance for swearing......... especially the F word, penalties will be enforced).
2. Absolutely no blaming of others or making personal calls on who wrecks who.. (It is always unknown for sure until replay can be viewed).
3. No burnouts at any starts during race. *(Practice, Happy Hour, and after the race, knock yourself out).

4. If at anytime while in pit lane a competitor runs into another driver on pit lane and causes the driver hit to speed that speeding penalty will be cleared.

4a. Driving through pit stall's prior to your stall. You can only drive through a maximum of one stall regardless of the pitting situation. If the person pitting directly behind you is also entering the pits in close proximity you must avoid driving through their pit. Any confrontations on this rule will be dealt will by the series administrator at his discretion.

5. Race incidents will first try and be worked out by the ones involved after a 12 hr. cooling off period. Please use the Teamspeak "TALK IT OUT" channel or e-mail and please remember this is a game. If it can't be worked out by parties involved a review panel will review replays submitted for review and render a decision with 7 days of the submittal. There will be no right to appeal after the review panel makes a decision.

5a. Please send incident clips from (both) members (mandatory to get both views) to the Series Administrator for review. If necessary it will go before a panel for an official review. Remember, if only one member sends a clip the Panel will only see one side.
6. There will be action taken for drivers that keep committing the same reckless errors over and over every race, The review panel will discuss and view saved replays of reckless driving. If a driver is determined to be reckless there will be a discussion with the Administrator on private channels using Teampspeak after viewing replays. If a driver continues to drive reckless, action will be taken resulting in points deduction or sitting out a race. If these actions continue there will be a vote by Review Panel to the have driver ejected from the league.
7. Incidents... Suggested action- If you cause an incident that seriously damaged other drivers please try and make amends during the race, after the race or in the forum. (We all understand most times, we really don't know until we see our replay).
8. BLOCK AT YOUR OWN RISK...(NO WHINING IF YOU GET WRECKED)
9. Open Server series will have 1 restart only. League series will have 1 restart if caution comes out on first lap.
10. Server problems will be considered a rain out and be rescheduled..
10a. ALL races must begin as scheduled , unless there are server issues requiring a delayed start time. To ensure adherence to the scheduled start times,any competitor arriving after all qualifying has been completed will not be allowed to race. Restarting of the server will not be allowed after the qualifying session has been completed for the purpose of allowing a late competitor the opportunity to run. We have competitors from numerous time zones, to delay a scheduled race because of a late entry is not fair to the drivers who arrived on time.
11. Any driver falling out the first time during a race will be brought back to minus one lap over the last position of the running driver at that time. (ie. Driver #7 is -3 laps, driver #200 was on the lead lap when they fell out. #200 returns to the server and is brought back to -2 laps. If driver #7 was down 5 laps and driver #200 returns to the server and shows 3 laps down no action will be taken). Then after the first time a driver falls out of the server no action will be taken to give back any laps upon the drivers return to the server.

12. Bad connections resulting in excessive (blinking,warping) we recommend you get off the track so as not to disrupt the other racers.
13. Auto chat or team speak notification must be used entering and exiting pits during race.
14. No intentional wrecking. (violations will be dealt with swiftly and you could be parked for the rest of the race and go before a review board. Penalties will be decided from there).
15. Lapped cars will give way to leaders unless racing to get back on lead lap at restart. If you are on the tail of the lead lap you have the right to race to stay on the lead lap. Drivers option.
16. Two Caution rule will be enforced in all scheduled events.. If anyone causes two cautions during a race you will please park your car or truck.
"MAN UP" yellow flag procedures
The league wants the driver who created the caution to declare via NR2003 Chat or Team Speak that they created the caution. This racer must speed through the pits to get a longest line penalty. If during the caution period other drivers have lined up behind the driver then the racer has 2 options: 1. on the restart let all the racers by on the high side or 2. While is the caution is still displayed and before the green flag is displayed they can drive through the pit road. This will ensure the racer creating the caution is at the rear of the field. This should reward clean drivers and reduce taking unnecessary risks which could affect a driver who did not create the caution. The league has labeled this declaration as MAN UP. At this time no penalties will be imposed to any driver not Manning Up, but this could result in penalties in the future. Racers are not to argue on whom the person to Man Up . But the leagues expectation is our racers are professional and must take responsibility for actions detrimental to the league. This balance of side by side driving and risk taking habits can be a fine line, the league wants to keep it to a fine line and not a gray area. The league and it members take pride on numerous caution free races. We can to continue this trend and reward racers who have these same aspirations.
a. Explanation of what we consider driver responsible for a caution.. If a driver hits another driver by not holding his line staying in his lane it is your fault..
b. If a driver bumps another driver from behind where the driver in front isn't out of shape trying to save his car it is your fault.
c. If a driver hits the wall or gets out of shape resulting in drivers to stack up and cause a wreck it is your fault...
d. No last second dive bombing into corners..(it is the responsibility of the driver trying to pass to make sure the driver in front can race his line) It is preferred that the passing car set him up on the staightaway...
e. If a driver goes below the yellow line forcing another driver up the track trying to get back on the track it is your fault.. (unless the driver in front had gotten out of shape forcing the driver behind to go below the line in order to not get into the back of him)...
17. Teamspeak3 is required during a race. Talking isn't important but being able to hear what is going on during cautions is.. (feel free to mute TS under green).
17a. There are conditions where one might not have to log into Teamspeak3 providing it is approved by race Administrators..
18. Two cautions in a row on restarts could result in the field remaining in single file order for one full lap before any passing may occur). Administrators choice and he will let us know..
If cautions continue then every caution there after will remain a no passing on the first green flag lap for the entire race.. Again.. Administrator will let us know..
19.The administrators will be given the choice of which process for giving laps back.
1. Lucky dog which was adopted in Season 4

Procedure review: The first racer a lap down when a caution occurs will be given a lap back only if they did not cause the caution. If the first racer a lap down caused the caution then the Luck Dog is awarded to the next racer in succession. The administrator will declare who will receive the Lucky Dog. At that time the racer can pit at anytime and line up according to the spotter. When the yellow lights on the pace car are shutoff (one lap to green) then the administrator will tell the lucky dog to pass on the inside of the field and the pace car. The racer is responsible for getting caught up to with the rear of the field. THE RACER MUST NOT TAKE THE LUCKY DOG UNTIL THE ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTS THEM.

2. Original lapdown process

Process review: The first racer a lap down when a caution occurs will be given a lap back only if they did not cause the caution. If the first racer a lap down caused the caution then the lap back is awarded to the next racer in succession The administrator will announce the racer getting a lap back when the caution comes out. The racer must enter the pits at anytime during the caution, but must speed either entering or existing pit road. This will issue the racer a longest line penalty. When the race resumes the administrator will then reduce the racer by one lap. Administrators will announce before the race on which process will be used. The reason being this allows the administrator to notify all drivers in the field to run higher a higher line on the track so as not to create a hazardous situation during the implementation of the Luck Dog process.
20. Racing back to the line is allowed the last 10 laps of the race and Lucky Dog will be issued until last opportunity to do so...

21. If there is a problem with drivers not lining up in correct order in time before the green flag. Please let administrator know that, and another caution lap will be added in order for the field to get in correct order. There will be absolutely no pitting while field is being aligned.

22. You Must Be At Least 18 Years Of Age .;To Race At All Star Racing.

23. Driver Substitutions
There will be NO DRIVER substituions in any series. Unless the Admin wants to make an exception.

24. Commitment Cone Violations

a.The entry to pit road must have all 4 four tires inside the cone or on the commitment line in the instances no cone is present.

b. The penalty for a commitment violation will follow the same protocol as HOT Pitting rule #4 on the rules page of ASRacingN2K3 website. If you think you may have a commitment violation you must declare the violation before the entering back onto the track after the completion of pit stop, then you must self serve a drive through penalty to avoid any post race penalty. If you are found to have broken this rule, and you do not serve a drive through, a TWO lap penalty will be issued to your final position at the end of the race, as well the driver will be placed at the end of the drivers on that same lap. If this happens there will be no appeal.

25. Passing in the pits stall area of PIT LANE.
No one can pass an opponent on the left hand while the opponent is in the pit stall area of pit road. A 2 lap penalty will be issued to the driver making such said pass.

26. GEN6BR15 Rules Changes for 2021 season are posted in the forums.
