[Official Event] Need for Speed II

[Barrier]

So to respond to some of the feedback and suggestions:

- team rewards will be expanded past the first place, but these will accumulate across a whole season. That means the first team will likely still get a huge reward, but the others will be able to collect stuff too
- individual rewards will be reworked a bit. For example, I'm considering disallowing the previous top 3 from receiving individual prizes in the next month's race. So they can still score and enjoy their top spot on the leaderboard, but won't be eligible for the individual rewards that month
- my sense right now is that we will have a season consisting of 6 races every month, but only the top 5 team scores will count at the end. Combined with the above incentive structure, competition should be fierce, but plenty of people can still try it out and hopefully improve

- the qualification phase was a bit mishandled. What I should have done is simply had everyone join on me and set the limit to 1000 laps. People would then be able to race at any point during the qualification period, and I would still be able to see everyone's best lap. I should say that making it purely individual is basically impossible within the constraints of a time-limited event, and imo it's much less interesting. Sure, someone can screw up a few of your laps, but on the whole you should be able to set a time that's close to your best over the course of the whole 20-30 minutes (TBD) of qualifications. Personally, I also find it quite boring to watch a single racer on the track - I'd rather people save that for the speedrun style leaderboards
- the main event phase was better, but I wasn't clear that unlike in the qualification, you want to actually finish the race as fast as possible. That means your total time is what's relevant, instead of the best lap. To me this is ideal over the course of a long season, because every single time matters - you want to maximize your team's score even if you know you will finish second, third, etc. individually
- I was a bit overwhelmed, but with everything basically improved and streamlined, I think one person can still do it, though two is better (one announcer/commentator, and one tech support person). It may not always be me, but things should run pretty smoothly with sufficient prior set-up

I'll be organizing a racing discord to further improve things and organize stuff better. I hope you guys will be willing to assist with some of the organizational and content creation, and discuss more things there
