Collecting Tokens?
Now one token is not enough to determine your placement in the FACR Leagues - after all, that Premier League Token might have been a fluke? Or that Academy League Token might have just been a bad run of luck? Either way, your placement is decided upon earning 5 identical tokens. Once you have collected 5 identical tokens, they determine in which league you are placed. * **
* Tokens earned will carry over into the following season, but will not carry over more than one season.
** Once you are placed into a league, you are exempt from relegation until the following season.
The Academy League
Points
Each week, points are awarded to all players who finish inside the top 32.
1st place receives 32 points, 2nd place receives 31 points... and 32nd place receives 1 point.
Points are totalled as the season progresses, and determine your final position in the Academy League Table.
Promotion
Finish the season among the top 5 players in the Academy League to secure your place in FACR's Championship League next season!
Should two or more players be eligable for promotion but finish the season on the same points, promotion is awarded to the player who achieved the highest World Ranking lap during any of the season's challenges.
Staying Active
Failing to complete at least one clean lap during the season results in automatic placement into FACR's Sorting Room. It pays to stay active!

The Hardcore League
Choosing to participate in this league does not eliminate you from the main leagues, nor does it in any way influence your position or ability to score points in the main leagues. This league is merely for those who choose to have that extra challenge!
To qualify for the Hardcore Leaderboard, you must have your in-game assists set up as follows: *
Suggested Line: Off
Braking: ABS Off
Steering: Normal or Simulation
Traction & Stability Control: Off
Friction Assist: Off
Shifting: Manual with Clutch
Damage: Fuel and Tyre wear: Simulation, Fuel & Tyres, or Cosmetic
Rewind: On or Off
* Setting a lap using these settings, and subsequently beating that lap after changing these settings (to a setup outside the required criteria) will result in your position being removed from the hardcore leaderboard.
OK. That's all you need to know!
So, from everyone here at FACR, good luck in Season 9!
