How to send your results

• Keywords for the result mail body changed slightly
• You should attach your file archive to the race result mail now.
• mails will be called "ICRESULT" instead of "F1RESULT" now :-)
• The names rule for the race files changed
• E-Mail-Address for result mails has changed

If you submit your result by E-Mail (the only possible way at the moment) follow the rules below:

The SUBJECT line

ICRESULT R1

(Please: 'ICRESULT' and not 'IC RESULT' or 'I C RESULT')
If you submit a result for Brazil (2nd round of the championship), the 'R1' would be replaced by a 'R2' and so on.

Then you add a character to this text to indicate if it's a qualifying or a race result. That means that

ICRESULT R1 Q

stands for your qualifying result at Adelaide, while

ICRESULT R1 R

stands for your race result.

The TEXT part

Send me your result with these lines:

Round: (round of the championship, i.e. 1-16)
Series: (the championship you compete in, ACE, PRO or Beginner)
Number: (your driver number)
Driver: (your name)
Team: (your team name)
Qualify: (the time you achieved, for example: 1:21.098)

Note: The words before the the colon are keywords! You must not alter those keywords, otherwise you risk that your result will not be processed. In such cases, results that are not submitted in the right format may not be considered by me at all, so stick to this template above, save it to disk and use it for your result mails.

II.Race

1st part: The result

Round: (round of the championship)
Series: (the championship you compete in, ACE, PRO or BEG)
Number: (your driver number)
Driver: (your name)
Team: (your team name)
Race: (the time of your race, for example: 1h23m45.678)
FastestLap: (your fastest lap of the race, for example: 1:22.333)

Please stick to the formats for race/qualifying times that I used here:

Qualifying time/Fastest Lap:                                     0:00.000

Race time:
 - finished in the same lap as the leader of your race:        0h00m00.000
 - lapped during your race 4 times but saw the chequered flag:   -4 laps
 - retired in lap 20 (completed 19 laps):                        19 laps

2nd part: Archive with race description, logfile, and an optional replay

• a text file with a description of your race (only a few lines please!)
• the output of AGPLaptime (the logfile) and
• optionally: replay (i.e. a saved game file) if you find that a scene of your race is worth to mentioned. Please describe the scene briefly in your race description! (Please note: don't send me your game that you saved after crossing the finish line - you only have to send me this when I ask for it.)

You have to give these files proper names, indicating which series you are competing in and which driver number you use. For a driver from the ACE series with number 17, the files would be called:

Description.A17
Logfile.A17
Replay.A17

(Pro drivers would call it Description.P17 and so on, drivers from Beginner would name it Description.B17 and so on)

You can then archive the files with LZX (preferred) or LHArc. Again, use the identifier from above:

DATA_A17.lzx (or .lha)

would be the archive name for our hypothetical driver from the Ace series.

If your mailing software supports MIME (most mailers do, nowadays) simply attach this archive to the mail. If you don't have a MIME-capable mailer, you have to use a UUEncode programme and insert the text that it produces into the mail - look at Aminet's util/arc directory to find one of those.

Send result e-mails always to:

icresults@unidui.uni-duisburg.de

That's it!
