oNiD Incident Reporting Guidelines
If you have been involved in an incident during an official oNiD race or qualifying session that you feel should be reviewed, we encourage the use of the incident reporting system offered by oNiD.
-
All incidents should be submitted using the appropriate reporting form along with video evidence of the incident in question.
​​
-
All Incidents MUST be reported within 24 hours of an event finishing, any reports submitted after this time has elapsed, will be rejected.

Video Evidence Rules
-
All reports MUST have video evidence attached - any that do not will be automatically rejected.
-
All video evidence MUST have the HUD on (showing driver inputs) - any that do not will be automatically rejected.
-
Any video that has had the speed changed from default (x1.0) will be rejected, unless accompanied by the same clip at default speed (x1.0).
When submitting video evidence, to be considered it MUST include the following: Chase cam views from yourself and the driver you are reporting, with the HUD (showing throttle and brake inputs) displayed at all times. Failure to do this will see your report be rejected for not meeting the minimum evidence criteria and will not be considered by the stewards panel.
Once a report is accepted, the report and evidence will then be reviewed by the incident panel. Once the stewards panel comes to an agreement, the oNiD Race Director will release the incident outcome in the relevant discord channel, including any penalties deemed necessary as a result of the incident.

Penalties & License Points
Each incident outcome may include a license point addition depending on the severity of the incident. Each driver begins a series with zero license points. License points are accrued throughout the season and are removed at the season’s conclusion. Repeat offenders and increasing license points will result in harsher penalties, up to and including consideration for league removal.
Please be aware that lap 1 and 2 incidents will be dealt with more harshly as drivers should be more aware/careful during this time when more cars are bunched up.
​
Depending on the severity of the offense, the following are examples of (but not limited to) possible penalties/incident outcomes:
​

Warning - 2LP - 0s
Minimal - 5LP - 5s

During a league, If a driver is found to be at fault for 3 or more incidents in a single race, they will automatically receive a qualifying ban for the next race - if they have already received enough license points to earn themselves a qualifying ban, this penalty will be upgraded to a race ban.

QB = Qualifying Ban
-
RB - Race Ban
-
REMOVAL = League Removal
In the case of a championship having more than 1 Qualifying and Race session in one Round (evening) the following applies , meaning you will not be able to qualify or race (depending on ban) for each event that
Round QB = Round QB
RB = Round RB
REMOVAL = League Removal
If you pass a threshold in the last round, the threshold points will be removed from your championship standings, i.e. a qualifying ban would result in a 15 point deduction.
Please note: any driver accruing enough LP to trigger a race ban, or more, in any Championship may be reviewed by the Stewarding Panel and/or Community Managers/Admin at the current Championship’s conclusion for a possible temporary suspension, exclusion or probationary period from/for upcoming leagues and events.

Appeals
If you have received a penalty and you believe the incident was not your fault or you believe the penalty was too harsh, you may appeal the ruling. Any appeals should be sent using the incident form “appeal” option, they should include:
-
Clear reasoning as to why you believe the incident was not your fault or why you believe the ruling was too harsh. (Put this in the details part of the form)
-
Additional video evidence you wish to submit which will back up your appeal.
We realise that going through the procedures above can be a painstaking process but we highly encourage anyone who is involved in an incident to submit an incident report. It aids oNiD in understanding the problems our drivers are facing and we can look to inform/educate in the hope of improving the quality of racing for everyone involved.
