The Interstellar Gaming Consortium is proud to announce the third season of its premiere racing competition, the Racing League. This season is slated to begin on June 16th.
How the League Works The Racing League consists of a series of ten bi-weekly races spread out over various regions within our star cluster. The League is further divided into four distinct classes: frigates, interceptors, assault frigates, and destroyers. Standings are recorded for registered pilots on their own behalf in individual rankings, and if apart of a capsule corporation* will automatically be entered to score in corp rankings as well. Corporate points do not transfer if the pilot changes employment. Unless banned, any corporation or pilot may participate in the races in any class at any time during the season, though it is reccommended to start as early as possible. At the end of the League, the top scoring pilot and corporation will win trophies and prizes for each class.
(*Starter corps are not allowed to register, but individual pilots from them can race)
The ten regions for this season are as follows:
Essence Placid Heimatar Metropolis Domain Genesis The Bleak Lands Lonetrek The Citadel Derelik
The region location of each race is usually announced one week in advance on the public boards, and reminder notifications will be sent out two days prior to the event via FTL mail through our mailing list, ISGC RACING. If you aren't sure how to join a mailing list, click here.
The Race On race day, The starting location will be divulged one hour before the event begins on the pre-designated racing channel Racing League. Arrive promptly, as the race may start without you if you're too late. As always, participants be required to traverse low security regions, asteroid belts, and any other celestial objects dictated by the event organizer.
Participants are not allowed to shoot their competitors until the race begins, nor are they allowed to call in support from their allies during the race under penalty of expulsion. This includes camping the starting location to kill war targets.
The racers will start each event docked at a station of the coordinators choosing. The signal to undock and begin the race will begin with the coordinator announcing the first waypoint and the password for all of the waypoint canisters. Participants will proceed to the location where a small secure audit log secure can will be located. Within each can is a bookmark location with the description of the next waypoint on the label. Each participant will take one bookmark and leave the rest. Any tampering with the cans or the bookmarks will result in the expulsion of said participant/corporation from the league.
Any number of pilots from a corporation may participate in each event and any module is legal for use. If a racer loses their ship during an event, they may purchase a ship of the same class/model they registered with to complete the race. Faction ships are prohibited from league play.
Participants are allowed to utilize whatever means necessary or take any path they are comfortable with in reaching the next waypoint. Weapons fire and destroying other participants is legal. Podding is not, and will result in expulsion. Individuals destroyed during the race are required to mail the coordinator the CONCORD killmail after the event for information purposes. |

Scoring & Race Rewards Individual racers will earn points for themselves and their corporation(if they have one) for the class they have chosen to participate in. Corporations score based on the first member of the team to finish, however, pilots are still competing against one another for the event prize and independent scores. The point total earnings for placement are: 1st - 25, 2nd - 20, 3rd - 16, 4th - 13, 5th - 11, 6th - 9, 7th - 7, 8th - 6, 9th - 5, 10th - 4, 11th - 3, 12th - 2, 13+ - 1
There will be a 1 mil entry fee for the racers at the beginning of each event collected prior to the event. The total fees distributed the following way: 50% 1st place winner 30% 2nd place winner 20% 3rd place winner
Sponsorship & Advertisement Third parties are welcome to participate by sponsoring other racers in the events by supplying them with equipment(prior to the race) or by paying their entry fees.
Corporations interested in being a sponsor for the league may do so by providing ISK or equipment as prizes for the winners of the racers. Donations can be made to either the individual or corporation season pot of any class and must be specified via eve-mail with the consent of the League organizer. Sponsors and will be advertised with every formal communication made by the ISGC organizer.
Full details on sponsorship can be found here.

Free bump from a season 2 enthusiast
Although I will be missing the first race (and doubtless many others as well if last season was anything to go by), I'll be competing this season. I'm not sure what ship class I'll go for, though; I might try all of them just to see what they're like... ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking |

The final roster for the DS Racing Team is not yet available, but in time we will make public the names of all our racers.
See you all on the track soon!

quick question wrt the rules, is it possible to just sit around a waypoint location then (say a belt can in a low sec system) and simply gank other competitors as they come in?

Yes, as long as you paid to race and you aren't being assisted by outside forces it's perfectly legal.

Good luck, fellow pilots. We look forward to bringing swift justice to those who would harm innocent racers, and perhaps finishing ahead of last place in the process.
To those who race ahead of us, safe travels. To those behind us, rest assured no harm shall befall you on our watch.

Edited by: Irongut on 15/06/2007 12:28:28 I'm looking forward to this, just need to decide which class I'm going to enter. Hopefully I won't make the same noob mistakes I made in the last race of season 2 and warp to the wrong belt again. 
I've also got a few corp members interested so there may be more than a one man team from M8S.

OVERVIEW The first race of the season ended this evening with bloody fanfare as shellshocked pilots shared victory champagne at the finish line in Cat. Essence region was host to the most brutal event yet in the history of the League, claiming the lives of three pilots and sprawling eleven wrecks across the field. Of the twelve pilots to enter, only seven managed to cross the finish line thanks in part two a rather persistent presence of pirates in the Heydieles system, and a precarious Curse lurking cloaked at Onne.
Ms. Blackheart of NeuroGEN has rapidly earned the ire of fellow racing corporation Dragonstar, firing on their team captain Kayleigh Jamieson. Scavanger, a teammate to Ms. Jamieson was ejected from his ship by CONCORD after engaging in a reprisal attack on the Deteis pilot in a high security system. Despite all her maneuvering, however, Kayleigh won the last laugh finishing before Lillith for fourth place. Perhaps with the realization that such tactics are legal in the league a shift in strategy by both corporations could escalate future engagements even further.
Relative newcomer Quintrala managed to outspeed many of the rookie interceptor pilots, finishing with the second fastest time and claiming first place in the frigate class. Searaph, another newcomer to the League and participating in the frigate class, managed to escape the slaughter unscathed and finishing with healthy marks. Experience clearly is the greatest teacher and in racing there is no substitute.
Strangely enough, no one chose to fly assault frigates for the first race of the season. However with the recent wave of violence sweeping through the event they may start looking more attractive, especially with such an easy pot to earn points for and with no competition. Destroyers are in the same position, but with only one race out of the way it's anyone's guess where this will lead.

We wasn't camping it, we were jus sat in the belt, an then got asked can they collect the waypoint, we jus thought we spice up the action a little bit, so in the end it was camped , but whats a race without any..... complications? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edited by: El Verbatim on 17/06/2007 15:11:08 Well, not every pirate betrays his word. I believe HellsElf said you gained some respect by popping Na'Kunni's crusader and could go to the can and so it happened.
We went to that belt cause we spotted an inty there. We were too late to catch it though but the next moments, we didn't know what was going on. Inties, frigs and destroyers arriving at the belt at 100km, disappearing, coming back... We said "wtf? what have these guys lost here?". Then we saw the waypoint container and decided to stay a bit longer.
I had lots of fun there...

Yes, well, it was a crap shot at that point. I had kited your friend in the Stabber, I believe it was that Verbatim fellow, far enough away that I had the chance to do direct combat with your Crusader and took quite a chance. I honestly was not expecting to come out of that battle with my ship intact, but I felt it was worth a try.
Once the scuffle began I noticed that I was, in all actuality, edging out your damage output by a good deal, and then my greater concern was that the Stabber was coming remarkably close remarkably fast.
I managed to get out of there just in time, I think. All in all it was a most exciting waypoint.

Originally by: Nola Doyle We look forward to a clean and engaging debut to the races and wish the best of luck to our rivals.
I had no idea by "engaging" you meant "engaging in combat." You call that "clean," Ms. Doyle? And we don't need luck, thank you very much. We have skill. Three ships lost, compared to Ms. Blackheart's single one, and we still beat her by a comfortable margin.
Be aware, NeuroGen, you have opened a nasty precedent. Dragonstar has always prided itself in racing fair and clean races - and we actually do mean clean. But we are not as harmless as we look and Ms. Blackheart did get a taste of that at Waypoint 9. CONCORD really should have kept their noses out of the event, since they obviously didn't care enough to chase Ms. Blackheart into low-sec, but went to the trouble of chasing Scavanger through 8 systems to overwhelm him at Waypoint 10. How brave of the police.
Dragonstar will not be scared off the races by such tactics. Actually, defense of our individual and corporate titles has suddenly fallen behind a desire to humiliate NeuroGen on the track in our priority list.
We shall see you on the track in two weeks, NeuroGen.

Are you by any chance implying we didn't earn our titles last time around, Ms. Doyle?
But for your information, a race is ultimately about arriving at the finish line ahead of the competition. How many ships I lose to achieve that is up to me. And rest assured we will win whichever class we set our hearts on.
K. Jamieson.
