Crash and resettling

If a player crash during the start, game will be resettled until all players are there. A player can claim “bug” until the second lap of the game has been completed (first for keirin) and the game will be resettled.

Regarding the situation, a player has a right of two crash/reset for each evening. At the third time the room won’t be resettled for that player.

FAIR RULE: if a player is eliminated at the first time (after 2 laps) on an elimination race game will be resettled because most of the time is due to a IA block

Room Re-enter

When, for whatever reason, a game is reset (for example, following a crash), game must be restarted until 3 minutes after the new room reopening. If one player was not in the room at the moment of the original launch but joins the room after the crash, he has the right to play the game. If a player was in the game at the moment of the reset but does not join the new room before 3 minutes after the crash, the game can be relaunched without him.

Postponements

Only the organization can postpone games to other date or times. If there are troubles, of any sort, host of the room must ask the organization explaining motivations.
