I'm introducing something to the game experience for all players. I call it the Stock Track Championship, I know, real original. Anyways, this is a non-formal 10 moto race series on the 00 server. No sign-ups are required, just show up and you're racing. From moto 1-10, I add up points and keep track, while commentating on teamspeak with Blake Benjamin. There are many reasons for this...
--It adds the AMA/FIM experience to mx sim players who don't have the time to race rF or aren't good enough yet to qualify.
--Its fun, and can be real suspenseful with me and Blake commentating the race.
--Hear your name get called out, it feels like you're racing and watching it on TV at once.
--We all know the 00 server is dull, but this actually makes it exciting and nail-biting
There will eventually be a concrete day every week when the seasons commence. I'm thinking either every Friday night or Saturday night. Not sure yet, have to take a poll. So far there have been 3 championships, and 3 different champions. If you manage to win a championship, you obviously get to wear the #1 plate the next season and defend your championship title.
Be prepared for stacked up gates. During the 02 season, we had up to 30 riders.
So far our champions are Conner #382, Dillon Holmes of Factory Enve, and Ken Berkman of PK Motorsports. Runner-ups Sheepy #97 (twice) and Cedric Alcee in the 03 season (down by 3 points and missed the first 2 motos)
The 04 season will be this Saturday night 09/05/15 (Non-Americans its 05/09/15
) at 5pm PST (6pm MST, 7pm CST, 8pm EST, 1am CET)For the live commentating, the server address is : ts37.gameservers.com:9120 no password is required, only open during a season. You WILL be muted once the gate for moto 1 drops until the checkers in moto 10
How to get teamspeak;
--Go to teamspeak.com
--Click the orange button to download and run the application
--On the top left corner where it says "Connections", then "Connect"
--Enter the server address in the indicated box
--Enter a nickname
--Connect, and you'll be able to hear the live commentating as you race.
Its important to get familiar with teamspeak, as it is the main communication application in the MX Sim community
Me and Blake Benjamin will commentate the race from gate drop to finish, and I'll be counting points and announcing point leaders, race winners, holeshots, etc.
I'll be posting next seasons, season recaps, career milestones, and champions daily, so continue to check the racing forums for that information.
THIS IS NOT FOR EXPERIENCED RIDERS!!! The main purpose of this is to be a gateway to the great racing community that MX Sim has to offer. This is for newbies and beginners, not rF race winners and champions. I DO allow rF riders to compete, but it is frowned upon. But another main purpose here is for everyone to have fun, to have the experience of an AMA/FIM championship in just a couple of hours.
Thanks,
