We should draft some official rules and regulations, no driving while on moonshine, or you will be fined

I wish you could see these at the same time as playing. I can never remember a map.

That's what the second and third monitors are for!

I'd probably need a map. Looking back at the first Squid races, I missed two and a half obstacles. Whoops.

The next Squid event is TUESDAY the 9th! (before Cogs maps are announced).

If you want to participate answer these questions:

What time of are you available?
(The time of the event will be decided by your answers)

Will you want to Pilot, Crew, referee, commentate, or stream?
(you can race and stream)

If you have any questions or you would like to get some hands on practice on a track contact my steam "greasemonkey15"

Details:
We will only be playing 2 different tracks this time.  There will be multiple races on each track. Successful laps will be timed and the captains name (and crew if requested) will be put into the track time leader boards.

The First Track will be DUNES LOOP 1.  This will be no guns barred all out battle on the simplest track we have. Even Tar is legal here!.  Now this style of play has not been tested yet you you are our test subjects.

The second track will be CANYON AMBUSH TRACK 1.
NO: Tar Barrel, Flak, Gatling, Carronade, Mercury, or Harpoon
Suggested: Chute Vent (for right after SHIPWRECK GAP)

You must complete every checkpoint for your lap to count! I will be watching!

It looks like European players on Wednesdays can race at:
10am-12pm PST 1pm-3pm EST (7pm-9pm about for Europe).
(forgive any errors)
This is obviously when American players should be working.

If we assume a good time for people to race on weekdays is 7pm-9pm around the world we can set up multiple race times like this:

AUSTRALIAN RACES:
Australia
GMT +08 19:00
Europe
GMT +01 12:00
America
EST   6:00am
PST   3:00am

EUROPEAN RACES:
Europe
GMT +01 19:00
America
EST     1:00pm
PST   10:00am
Australia
GMT +08 2:00 on Thursday

AMERICAN RACES:
America
EST     9:00pm
PST     6:00pm
Australia
GMT +08 10:00 on Thursday
Europe
GMT +01 3:00   on Thursday

Races will last as long as people still can and want to race.

The INTERNATIONAL part of ISRA is hard.
Above is all english speaking, if anyone wants to be the ISRA's Russian, Japanese, ect translators let me know.

You can sign up for any and all of these races.  Please let me know if you want any of these times adjusted. All times are based on rough guesses of when people can play and possible time zone calculation errors.

I JaceBoojah will be at any race that at least 2 other people want to race in.

please point out errors of tell me if you want something to change.

JaceBoojah,
when you get a regular calendar of this event i could make an announcement for russian players.
It would be also great to have a full codex of rules to translate and post for our players, because few could understand English version. You could send it by e-mail (watch your PM inbox for adress).

Sounds good. We are still hitting this with a rubber mallet until it is built.
