Leaderboards:
The top players in each room accrue points which go on the MotorStorm Leaderboards over at PS3Leaderboard.com.
The allocation of points is dependent on the amount of Member players in that room, as below:

12 or more members in a room:
1st Place = 100 Multiplayer Points (MP)
2nd Place = 80 MP
3rd Place = 60 MP
4th Place = 40 MP
5th Place = 30 MP
6th Place = 20 MP

8 to 11 members in a room:
1st Place = 80 Multiplayer Points (MP)
2nd Place = 60 MP
3rd Place = 40 MP
4th Place = 30 MP
5th Place = 20 MP

5 to 7 members in a room:
1st Place = 60 Multiplayer Points (MP)
2nd Place = 40 MP
3rd Place = 20 MP

Less than 5 members in a room:
1st Place = 40 Multiplayer Points (MP)
2nd Place = 20 MP

Multiplayer Points contribute towards your total Rewards Points which are redeemable against PS3 accessories and games in the Store.

Hi guys

Is everyone cool with the way the voting works for the tracks

Or would you all prefer to find out just 30mins before the event

For the next couple of weeks I was just thinking about doing every other track on a rotation

I'm not bothered where we race to be honest

I'm just an original MotorHead

Can't wait for Prologue and Turbo Tuesdays

The rotational system sounds good allowing everyone the opportunity to race their favourite track at some stage throughout the month(no one seems to vote anyway)And be good to race different tracks every week

I'm cool with a time change,If it means accommodating more people into the tourny.

The time is not the problem... The only thing why there is not a lot of players for MS is because it's 1 of the 1st games & like me they didnt play for a while & are not gOOd like before & prefer to play others games! U just can ask a few of ur friends to play in it!

Yeah,But what's a half hour out of people's time once a week?,And judging by the closeness of the monthly leaderboard,Any form of point's from this tourny could mean the difference between 1st and 2nd place or 3rd and 4th.

Would normally try to join, but out this Friday evening and not back until later. (STAWBERRY ---> will be back by 11pm UK time!)

Still prefer 'Catch-up' 'ON', as the racing is closer, but whatever. Hope to be able to join next week's!!!

argh, bit of a nightmare tonight.

First of all a schoolboy error on Rockhopper gives away 1st place and then my connection decides to disappear on Dust.

There's always next week though....
