Open to ANY type of proper model/make for our series and not limited to what is currently run, that being Ford or Chevrolet.
Throughout the season:
A maximum of FOUR car changes (total) will be allowed for Groups A-D. Only ONE change is allowed per group. If you wish to make TWO changes in a single group, that SECOND change will be counted as TWO changes.
Examples: In Group A you drop Car 6 and pickup Car 25. That is one change of your four that will be counted. Later you wish to Drop Car 11 and pickup Car 97. THAT is your second change in that group and will count as TWO more changes of your four, bringing the total to THREE changes.
If you make only one change in Group A, B, C, and D respectively, that will be your four allotted changes.
New for this year:
Only ONE change per round will be allowed in Groups A-D. You cannot use two, three, or all four of your changes for any given round.
Once rosters are formed, subsequent changes and reshuffles CANNOT be made until Round 4 at Symmons Plains. After that, car changes and reshuffles can be made at any time. You will have your original team roster for the first three rounds.
A maximum of THREE reshuffling changes (total) will be allowed in Groups E. This is our tiebreaking group. These reshuffles are independent of your Groups A-D changes.
In conclusion: One change per round, reshuffles at any time, no changes prior to Tasmania.
Changes made prior to Midnight Thursday Sydney, NSW time prior to the upcoming weekend round will go into effect for that round. Changes after Midnight Thursday, Sydney, NSW time, will go into effect for the next round. Sydney, NSW time, will be used for the V8CFL with respect to time stamps for all rounds.
Car changes must be made within the same group.
Points are scored by cars – not drivers. For example, if you have Car 8 on your team, Andre Heimgartner is that driver to start the season with. If he vacates Car 8, for whatever reason, and another driver takes over, you will still have Car 8 on your team. If Heimgartner subsequently starts driving Car 55, and you do not have Car 55 on your team, you do not have Heimgartner as a driver. You still have Car 8 unless you change cars in that respective group. Car 8 gets you points. Car 55 does not – unless you make a change to pick up THAT car in that group.
For the enduro rounds, whoever pairs up with the drivers in your cars, is on your team, but the car still gets the points – whoever is driving.
Please use the applicable Team Registration thread to make changes. Do not PM me with them. I want everything out in the open for all to see.
************
Points and scoring:
Each RACE will be scored for points.
Non-enduro rounds: Your total points tally from all of your Group A through Group D cars will be used to determine where you finish for the given race. Eight cars. Group E is for tiebreaking purposes.
Enduro rounds: All of the same eight cars will be scored along with your FIRST TWO choices in Group E - 10 total. Group E will also still be the tiebreaker.
The five bonus points for the fastest lap at each sprint race will also be added as applicable.
Based on your total points, you will be placed in a finishing position/order. Whatever points per race the Repco Supercars are issuing for that given race, the V8CFL will also issue, based upon where you finished with your total point tally. For example, winners will receive either 300, 150, or 75 points.
Your cars in Group E will be utilized for tiebreaking purposes. The highest finishers in Group E will break the tie. It does not matter where your Groups A through D cars finish, Group E will decide the tie. Each participant will have all five cars in Group E in a listed order. That order will be your preference for breaking any ties.
For example:
If Participant A has Group E order as 56-19-96-4-35
& Participant B has Group E order as 96-35-56-19-4
It comes down to who finished higher – Car 56 or Car 96. Let us say Car 56 tops Car 96 by four places, in this case, Car 56 wins the tiebreaker for Participant A. If both participants have the same car listed first in the order, it will go to the second. As listed above, Car 19 v. Car 35.
If still tied after that, we will go to the third car, and so on.
Cars must be classified/score points to be utilized in the tiebreaker.
There will be NO identical teams. If there are, I will request the last participant forming the identical team to change something. There can be identical teams with respect to Groups A, B, C, & D being the same eight drivers, or Group E being the same order of the five drivers, but not both (Groups A, B, C, & D and Group E) .
Sometimes teams change car numbers for various purposes. A change in car number from 11 to 100, for example, does not exclude the 11 Car from scoring. It will be recognized without saying that the 100 Car is/was/will be the 11 Car and scored accordingly.
Tiebreakers (in conclusion):
All ties will be broken using the following formula:
1) Highest finishing first chosen Group E car (points-wise) in race.
2) If tied, highest finishing second chosen Group E car (points-wise) in race.
3) If still tied, highest finishing third…fourth… and fifth.
4) If the Group E tiebreakers are identical for two or more teams, the highest finishing car in Groups A-D will break the tie.
If prior to a racing weekend, two teams attempt to form identical team rosters (all eight cars the same in Groups A-D and likewise order in Group E, I will not allow the last change requested.
There will be no late signups like in years' past.
PENALTIES: Any points penalties levied against any team or driver by Repco Supercars will be fully recognized by the V8CFL. Said penalty, however, must be assessed due to a violation during a race, or post-race inspection.
If a penalty is levied against a driver or team for a rules violation during qualification, practice, or something bizarre such as a pit garage fight/scuffle, the V8CFL will NOT recognize the penalty. It must be directly related to the racing, or race incident.
CAMS Stewards Summaries will be the guideline for any penalties.

Media Center:
TheArrow will be in charge of this department for 2023. It is already up and running. Have fun with it.
************
I will bring back the V8 Central Fantasy League Tournament. There will also be an Enduro Cup of some sort. Details to come. The Tournament will not start until Round 2 at the AGP.
Please feel free to ask questions on this thread, and this thread only, so all rules/points breakdowns will be clear to all. Chances are, if YOU have a question, someone else has the same question. Ask.
I reserve the right for final say in rules whether that be a clarification or change due to a conflict.
************
In conclusion for 2023:
Each race will be scored for points. For non-enduro rounds Group A through D cars (eight cars) count for points. Group E will not.
For endure rounds, all eight cars PLUS the first two choices in Group E – 10 cars total.
Group E will be used as the tiebreaking formula for all rounds (reference above). If Group E does not break the tie, we will revert back the highest finisher of the Group A through D cars for the tiebreaker.
You are allowed FOUR changes total in Groups A through D. One per group. If you use TWO in the same group, that change in itself will count for TWO changes.
Only one change per round will be allowed.
You are also allowed three reshuffles (total) in Group E – the tiebreaker.
Reshuffles can be made at any time whether you have made any Groups A-D changes or not for that round.
No changes can be made from the start of the season until the start of Round 4 at Symmons Plains.
