5. GENERAL REGULATIONS ON THE COMPETITION
[These regulations apply from the pre-qualifications stage.]

I - All drivers selected to compete in the ROVER ALL SERIES commit to respecting the rules established by the organizer and to maintaining a respectful attitude towards the organization and their opponents, both during the race, in the in-game chat, and in comments on live streams or posts on the social media of ROVER ALL SERIES, MSLEAGUE, and their partners.

II - Driver License: Drivers have a penalty credit of 15 points, leading to the exclusion of the driver once this credit is exhausted.

III - Any inappropriate, offensive, or threatening behavior will result in immediate exclusion from the competition and a ban from the organization's social media.

IV - We expect all competing drivers to demonstrate fair play, sportsmanship, and comply with the provisions of this regulation. Certain incidents, the complete list of which can be found below, will be severely penalized. If fraudulent activity is suspected and proven after investigation, the player will be immediately disqualified from the competition and replaced by a reserve driver, who will take over their progress.

V - Any claims should be submitted on the MS League website (menu: Race Commission) and will be handled by the CoS (Committee of Simracing Officials). URL: https://www.msleague.fr/?page_id=256

VI - Regarding pre-race qualifications, it is strictly forbidden to stop on the track or activate automatic driving. It is also prohibited to burn fuel in the pits or on the track and to hinder other drivers in any way.

VII - Absence or Unavailability: To address potential unavailability on a date, an online table is provided for drivers to choose their race dates and to make possible changes with another driver. To do so, you must quickly initiate a general call to other drivers in the Discord group in the "swap" section. If a driver abandons during the pool phase, their replacement from the list of reserves will take over their points.

VIII - Restart: Only one restart will be allowed due to a race lobby bug. The involved driver(s) must leave the lobby and then return for the restart. If the bug persists, the driver(s) cannot participate in the race. However, they can try to join another race in the same weekly round if a driver is absent or willing to switch places on short notice. The affected driver(s) can use this time to fix their connection issues. No restart will be allowed for on-track actions.

IX - It is strictly forbidden to write in-game messages once the race has started. This may be penalized at the end of the round. Pushing a driver with a damaged car is also prohibited.

X - If an incident occurs between two drivers on the track, it is forbidden to give back the position to the affected driver. All races will be analyzed by the race stewards, and sanctions will be given to the offending driver(s).

XI - No personal vendettas in the lobbies, no insults or threats.

XII - An engaged driver may be excluded from the competition for behavior deemed inappropriate during the race or interactions with the race management, as well as for continuously requesting information about their race at each new round. All participants are expected to show seriousness and commitment.

XIII - Any driver with significant vehicle damage that requires slowing down or changing pace must inform other drivers by activating their hazard lights and keep them on until entering the pits.

XIV - Repechage of a driver: In the elimination phase, if a qualified driver for the next round abandons the competition without a replacement, their progress from the beginning of the current edition will be erased, and all drivers below them in the general ranking will move up one position.

XV - Virtual Safety Car: During the race, in the event of a crash involving at least 5 cars, a Full Course Yellow (FCY) message + 3-second countdown will be initiated by the in-game race management. At this signal, all drivers must switch to "automatic driving" (Start button) until this procedure is canceled by the in-game race management.
