    So ran a test room last night to find out how to capture the qualification times for submission. As an official the only way to capture the time is via spectate and live timing. As a driver submitting their time you can't leave the lobby without ensuring the official has confirmed your time, because when you leave the lobby your time is scrubbed unless you got the FL and it doesn't get beat.
    Question. Must a lap be watched to ensure rooz guidelines are followed or going with the honor system?
    Personally the honor system allows the room to flow better without to much of a time sink on the official

    I think we can all adhere to the racing guidelines and be honest. Otherwise it's going to be pretty boring for you and other officials :confused:

    That is where I got to. There was no way that I wanted to sit there watching guys run laps!!

    I suggest a series of 20 minute races. You can capture the replay and have record of FLs

    Honestly like this idea better. Consider it a official Qual sessions. So it puts a bit of pressure on to get that qual lap right. And have a maximum of 3 attempts. Just food for thought.

    Probably more efficient doing it that way too. Set an afternoon/night room up. Put a few practice laps in and then maybe a 10/15min quali period.
    Everyone encouraged to join that session, rather than a long drawn out process of organisers hosting a session for 1 or 2 drivers each night.

    Not concerned with close racing causing incidents or stuffing up a hot lap?

    don't treat it like a race, spread out from the start as you would if you were just practicing or qualifying. the session will end after 15-20 minutes, you can pit if you want etc.

    If anyone spoils your hot lap you can have another go in another session.

    Idea to follow on from the 20 minute qualifying "race" session.

    Host 3 Qualifying rooms on Monday - Wednesday & Thursday to submit your provisional qualifying time. This time will place you in to a room for the race on Sunday.

    On Sunday we have a 10 minute qualifying session as per current race regulations to set the grid.

    Tl;dr
    Qualifying 1 ( Mon, Wed, Thur) - Set rooms
    Qualifying 2 (Sunday) - Set Grid

    This. Potentially could run the off season qualifying sessions still to set times, if people cant make the M,W,T leading up to the weeks race. I for example, can never 100% commit to midweek sessions.

    Yeah but if you do find yourself online and see a lobby open, you can sneak in and do another session and maybe jump up a room.

    Sounds good.
    Works well for racers on the same time zone, but then for those on a different time zone, they could jump into one of the other time zone rooms that are up.
    IE - WA racers get into a WA time room, instead of attempting to get into a midweek room at 530, when most are dealing with the night time routine, work, etc
    I can't get online truly until 930 or later during the week.(ADST), of which most of the racers here would have finished, hence the need for racers spread across to have rooms open to give all racers an option.

    It seems like a lot more hassle than the 10 minutes on the race night that we have now .......

    Overall championship/enjoyment will be worth it for sure. Being able to race against different people each week, of similar pace. makes for closer racing.

    all of the above looks good.
    pre-season, jump into any room, and if an official has confirmed the room settings, he can submit your lap time for you at your request.
    -either in practice mode, checking the spectate live timing OR
    -via the 'practice race' where you just lap on your own in a 'race'
    -since all laps are done at 0x tyre/fuel wear, no need to pit

    @xlxy90 's idea about the rooms during the week in the lead up also works

    you can have ONE submission pre-season per track, and ONE submission in the week lead up too

    If unable to find a room pre season as an official can we submit our own times? Or does the room need to be verified by another?

    And as a fall back we use the divisional breakup if no time submitted?
