At Inportrace we'll be regularly organizing teamraces . Using Valk green/blue and or 420 red/bleu (As soon as there is a solution or for having 2 skins.

All sessions will be organized, use of teamspeak 3 is reccomended as the chat is occupied and reserved for rule related hailing of umpires and opponents.
(click on the appropriate channel in the teamspeak viewer page.)

For hailing you should use a little tool called Autohotkey which is available under General Public License.
BTW the attached script is free as in beer, you are allowed to modify, copy change and distribute
though if you have something useful to add we like to read about it :)

HOTKEYS  some syntax

^  ==> CTRL

!   ==> ALT

thus "^!s"  stands for "CTRL+ALT+S"

if you rather use "ALT+S" instead  you then change "^!s"  into "!s"

before changing anything, make sure you have a backup of your last working script!!
