And we begin!

First track of 2018 is designed by Cas, and the title is "very informal slang from my city for so abusive!".
Good luck ;D

Teams are great! Join a team :)

The best way to race in ZakStunts is as part of a racing team! Share tricks, strategies and frustration with your teammates. Mostly frustration. Up to four pipsqueaks to a team, see the rules for more details.

Write here if you are looking for a team to join, if you want to start a new team, or simply to confirm an existing team!

    As 2017 nears its end, it's time to thing about the next season: what to keep, what to change, and new ideas!

    Let us know what you think, for example:
    • did you enjoy this year?
    • what are you looking forward in 2018?
    • would you like to see anything change?

    Site Announcements / Refreshing the leading time calculations
    « on: May 17, 2017, 10:57:46 PM »
    The leading time code is complex, and now and then makes a few mistakes. I've looked at it before, but now I'm carefully cleaning it up, aiming at something solid enough to assign points automatically at the end of the race —at Zak's press of a button!

    At the moment I have a test version on a separate page, which kind-of narrates the leading time race so that one can tell if it makes major mistakes.

    Three things:
    • if you have a moment, could you have a look at a race using that page, and see if the numbers are correct?
    • any suggestions about different visualisations? maybe pipsqueaks ranked by leading time, or just the top three, or some kind of table or graph, etc.
    • mid-year seems like a good moment to discuss possible rule changes regarding LTB; for example, Akoss' suggestion about carrying leading time to the next race, or maybe just having then pile up continuosly, with bonus points being assigned as soon as a pipsqueak reaches X hours?

    Live Races / Dorsal (2017-02-18)
    « on: February 10, 2017, 12:11:23 AM »
    Update:
    Time: Sat 18th February, 20:00 GMT (see row K in the table attached for other timezones).
    Track: Dorsal, also attached below
    Car: Jaguar XJR9


    Original post:

    Let's start then with the live race revival! We need a track, and a time.

    For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, this is an endurance race where you have to drive as far as possible on a looping track in 12 minutes, and submit your replay. Between setting up, chatting, driving and looking at the results, it usually takes about an hour. Have a look at the other topics in this section.

    Attached is a table to help find the best moment of the day, Saturday 18 February. I'm available all day, from A to K! What about you?

    General Chat - ZSC / GAR rules and support
    « on: June 12, 2016, 04:14:43 PM »
    I'm a bit wary about adding GAR-only features to the website, since the original idea was an experiment, open to variations and dependant on the pipsqueaks' interest.

    GAR feels to me very much like its own thing, which makes me question its place next to the main competition: car bonuses don't apply correctly, tracks can be awful under restrictive rules, public/quiet replays periods don't apply. To coexist properly with ZakStunts would require a number of code changes and a fair amount of duplication.

    Does it make sense to run it in parallel with the main competition, or should it be a separate one? Can it run partially from the forum, as StuntsLOL and USC have done in the past?

    Opinions, suggestions, support? pipsqueaks interested in the alternative scoreboard?

    General Chat - ZSC / Leading time table - feedback!
    « on: April 05, 2016, 02:38:52 PM »
    I have been looking at the "leading time" are of the scoreboard to fix the leap year troubles, and I've been wondering if there's anything that could be improved.

    I'm rarely paying attention to the graph, it looks more or less the same every race, at least to me. And the table is useful, but I'm looking at it from the bottom going up, searching for the highest numbers.

    Wise pipsqueaks, how do you use the leading time information? Is there anything missing or that you don't need on the page?

    Attached: the current leading time information, and a possible variation made in Paint :P

    Live Races / Live races 2016
    « on: March 26, 2016, 12:30:26 AM »
    So... last year the live race scene didn't get much light. Somehow I managed to even forget about them, until just now.

    Should we try to organise a new one? Zak is back in a reasonable timezone, good pipsqueaks abound, the stars are clearly aligned!

    Who's in? Which days would oyu prefer in the coming weeks?
