Testing new scoring stuff based on Jonty's PHP.

GB Rally - Official mode
USA Rally - Official mode

You may need to connect using the IP address (76.25.92.98) and default password.

UPDATE: Thanks to Jonty and all his hard work on this. The scoring PHP now does things a bit different, and more complicated. Here is the summary:

- Updates within two minutes of the completion of a stage. So you will now see your stage times within a few minutes of your completed stage (fully automated)
- During the week leading up to the official rally, the PHP will track all completed stage runs. Everyone's laps will be scored, but only your fastest will be displayed. Yes, you can better a stage time and it will update with your BEST TIME. This will be used in the days leading up to the official event so you all can share times more easily.
- During the 48 hours of the official event, the scoring PHP will change to only show your FIRST stage time that you complete in those 48 hours. Your previous times will be cleared and you will start from scratch. But, one you complete a stage, you can not alter that time again. Feel free to continue racing stages under your normal name, it will not effect anything.

OK I waited until the last minute to run the last Rally and the server was down so I didn't get to I don't want to miss this one. When does the actual recording of our time take place? Every weekend until the ending date or just the weekend before? Sorry little confused.

Will the IP you posted work all the time guaranteed? Even when the server listing thing is down?

Your "official" time is logged in the 48 hours leading up to the event's race-time as noted on the event page. For the most part, it is all day Saturday and Sunday.

If the lobby system is down, just check the pre-race discussion. I will post the IP there if needed, though the IP may change from time to time

There are some radical jumps in this these stages!!!!! Almost comical/arcade style. I also did some fantastic endo's. I'm getting it out of the system now!!!!

I had to also change the port to "2000" in the IP address. I think it was default "250"

I know nothing about these things, but it was the address in the other thread and it worked after I changed it.

The track results link isn't working, maybe you're doing some work on the page? Just curious, how often will the results pages be updated?
