Guest tracks in R4K

[Cas]

While we have featured tracks made by non-admins several times, there hasn't been much regularity to this and seeing that in ZakStunts, the table fills up quickly, I was thinking we could open to something more planned. I had a word with @KyLiE and we agreed we could try this season opening half the races to guests to see how it results and then we'll see what we do the following seasons.

Now, with R4K being mostly OWOOT, there are certain guidelines that must be followed when designing tracks, mostly to prevent repeated verification problems and to ensure that, since no shortcuts can be taken, the (almost always unique) path to follow is comfortable and fun to race, as we've made many mistakes in designed in the past and learnt the hard way!  Also, we have fixed cars per race, so that's another thing to take into account.

The following points, for example, are worth considering:

• Guests would choose the rule set, which would be either OWOOT or Free OWOOT. Could be something else, but I think if that's the idea, it's better to first propose and we'll review it
• If (strict) OWOOT, care must be taken that tunnels and slaloms not be placed at locations where pipsqueaks will be likely to overfly them by accident, which would result in a rejected replay
• Guests would also choose a car or set of cars. If it's one car, we're more likely to give it the green if it hasn't been used previously in the same season. Also, in R4K, we don't tend to favour very slow cars, but everything can be discussed. If more than one car, make sure they are comparable in their capabilities, as we don't use a car handicap system
• A race of some 1:30 to 2:30 is ideal. If your track results in a shorter or longer race, we may still consider it, but we may ask you to edit it a little bit. If you want to organise something special, let us know in advance

So... my idea is that we'll open to guests races run on even months, except that of December, which will be exchanged by November. I have already received one request to post a track this season, from Victor Narl, so I'd be reserving a race for him. I'd like to know if some of you guys are interested in participating   Also, any suggestions or ideas to add on top of this or change it are welcome. What do you guys think?

Also, cars must be selected from the list of supported cars.  We usually add a few cars to the roster every year, but unlike ZakStunts, they're never removed.

Alright... so I'll start a new thread for this season open tracks
