So this is moving to PCM15, i couldn't run the Champs with that few participants as it was on PCM14. Hopefully now there'll actually be enough sign-ups to run the Champs, although will need to re-think the prizes on offer a bit.
Anyway same as last time. Specific group times can't be confirmed yet as they rely on info from sign-ups.
Length of Sign-ups has reduced and will only be open until Saturday. I've cut out most of he spare/reserve days so if things do run beyond the 25th it could get tricky for me.
Anyway, go and sign-up again and we can get this back on track now on PCM15

So unless 20 people suddenly decide to sign-up in the next 50 or so minutes i have finished making the groups for the opening rounds of the track events! A few things have occured as a result:
1) The Points Competition does not have a Quarter Finals round. Instead it begins straight with the Semis on the 17th in the same style as the Scratch and Elimination events
2) The Keirin Quater Finals will move from Monday 14th to Tuesday 15th. I'm actually not guaranteed to be around on Monday so being able to cut the points quarters means the Keirin can move without issues.
3) It's now super easy to progress through the various events. Only 3 people will be knocked out in the Keirin Quarters, and only 4 from the Points, Scratch and Elimination Semis.
4) Due to the lack of sign-ups compared to last year it is much harder to find timings for groups that everyone can make. I have tried my hardest and it only gets harder for the Finals which will mostly be taking place at 20:00 or 21:00 UK time. There is a very small amount of changes i can make so if there is something you really cannot do mention it as soon as possible and i'll take a look.
Groups will be posted tomorrow morning with timings and various other specific details like who's hosting, how many go through etc. etc. As i said if there's any questions or problems post it as soon as possible, but i'm not around Sunday afternoon or Monday until late evening.

Thanks a lot TMM, excited to race.
But can anybody help me with a problem I've having, whenever I click multiplayer on PCM15, it says player key not found?

Given how much AI ruins Keirin, why would we only want 10 people in the Semi Finals, when we could have 12?
Would kinda prefer just 1 final for the others too, to minimise AI, but that's just me. However Points and Scratch semis do seem to have been scheduled for the same day and same time?

@SN - Keirin is tricky. The Quarters could become the Semis and then only the Top2 from each group progress straight into the Final. Annoyingly 13 want to take part and 13 doesn't divide by 6.
Everything else could be slipped into just one event, i just wanted a bit more of a competition out of things.
Good spot on the Points and Scratch, will alter the timings asap.
@Miguel - Nope, it's still Keirin but now on Tuesday
@Jandal - Nope, i just copy and pasted because nothing else changed

Except that by including AI, you are reducing the competition, because it has such a negative impact on the racing in the Keirin.
It's hard to find a way to make 13 into 12 at this stage, but it's not unlikely that somebody will not show up, so perhaps qualification be altered after the event - using the QFs more as a seeding run than a means to eliminate people.

Quick question because I'm trying to solve my problem.
Is the player key the one that comes in the email when you get the game?

@SN - Yeah i'd also thought of using it like a seeding method. We'll see how it goes
@Trek - Yes the one in the email

On steam if that's how you got it when viewing game in library on the right side there is something saying CD Key, click it, copy it to clipboard and copy and paste it when it asks for key.

Problem is I got it off the official website, so it's different.

Questions - how can Scratch and Points be raced on the same day at the same time?

I suppose the idea is that we play one, then immediately play the other. The groups are the same, afterall.
