F-Zero GX Racing League S6 - Rules and Process in a Nutshell

F-Zero GX Racing League Season 6 - Rules and Process in a nutshell

Quick clarification first: It is not required to sign up before the competition to be able to participate. Nor it is required to set times on every course. Feel free to participate whenever you want, how you want, but please read the rules first and follow them.

But if you already fully intend to participate I would still like if you sign up (link below).

Process
-Competition is divided into 5 stages.
-In each stage, there are 5-6 courses that will be raced on.
-For each course, you only have three attempts. Only the best time will count.
-Attempts are allowed for only the 5-6 courses that have been specified for the stage currently being run.
-You may practice the courses as much as you want. To begin an attempt that will count, you must say so in the #competition room in the F-Zero Discord (other messaging services is okay if needed). Message me if you want to join the F-Zero Discord.
-Each stage will last for two weeks.
-Proof is required for only your best times. It is required to take a screenshot for your attempts. Having video proof is not required, but still encouraged.
-Your times from all three attempts, proof, and the machine you used is required to be posted in the following forum: http://z13.invisionfree.com/F_Zero_Racing_League/index.php?showforum=7
-After all 5 stages have been completed, whoever has the most points in the Champion! There will also be a winner for the Amateur competition where amateur players have their own standings.
