Rules have been updated as of August 25th, 2010.
TeamSpeak3 Rules.:
- All drivers must be in OHM Teamspeak3, 15mins before the start of the 1st heat to attend the drivers meeting.
- After the drivers meeting, you can leave ventrilo. But, if another announcement needs to be made before the heat, dash, or Main, you will be asked to come back on TS3 for a short period of time.
- Any drivers that misses the drivers meeting will start at the tail end of their heat.
- There will be NO talking in TeamSpeak or Chat during Time Trials, Heats, Dash, or Mains. If you break this rule, you will forfeit 5pts for the night. (Asking for Restart is permitted).
Warp & Lag Rules.:
- If you are warping/lagging with a low ping, it will be assumed you are using a RAM Cheat, and will be issued a Black Flag and forfeit all your points for the night, and placed on probation for the remainder of the league.
- If you are warping/lagging with a high ping, it will be considered a bad internet connection, and will be issued a Black Flag, recieve last place points and your ping will be monitored for the remainder of the league.
Restart Rules.:
- There will be NO restarts during Heats or Dashes.
- There will be ONE restart for Mains.
- Restarts must be asked for before the completion of Lap One. Admins hold the right to restart any Main for any reason.
- The person who causes the restart will be moved to the tail end of the field.
Heats/Dash/Mains Rules.:
- Rough driving is not permitted in OHM Leagues. If you are found driving rough by the Admins you will be given the appropriate penalty as listed below:
- 1st Offense – Loss of 10pts and you will start at the tail end of your heat/main.
- 2nd Offense – Loss of 15pts and you will start at the tail end of your heat/main.
- 3rd Offense – One Night Suspension from that league, and you will forfeit all points for the night of the offense.
- 4th Offense – Banned from OHM Leagues
- We will determine if the incident was a racing incident, or rough driving, as we understand in racing that wrecks happen due to racing hard, and that’s perfectly understandable. We want to make your racing experience here as fun and enjoyable as we possibly can.
If you have any questions about the rules listed, or a question regarding something not listed in the League Rules, please ask during the drivers meeting and the OHM Officials will do their best to clarify the issue.
We want everyone to have a good time, and enjoy our Leagues. If you have any suggestions, feel free to bring them up during the drivers meeting, or make a post in our forums. Our #1 Goal is to provide the Dirt Community with a fun and competitive place to race. We hope to see everyone in the OHM Sanctioned Leagues, and have fun racing.
