Finalizing the Season

The Build Season button will be enabled once the season can be created. Each of the following conditions must be met before this will occur:

  1. All teams should have all drivers assigned, and names set
  2. Score and draft mode should be set
  3. If Enforce Uniqueness is selected, all driver numbers must be unique

Season Management

Use the arrow keys or arrow buttons in the bottom corners to switch between rounds in a season. By default, F1FM loads round 1. Round names are automatically downloaded and displayed at the top if a server connection can be made.

Main View

The main view will show three different panels. The points this round will panel will show the points this each team has scored for the current round. The total points panel will show the total number of points each team has won up to the current round, but will not show points scored after the selected round. The lineup panel shows the current lineup for this round if drafting has occurred. Both point panels are sorted according to the point values they contain, and the tiebreaker system. The lineup panel is sorted by team creation order, and each driver is in order of lineup position.

Team Management and Scoring

When a round is eligible for drafting or scoring, the orange button on the bottom row can be selected. There are a number of conditions that must be met first before drafting or scoring can take place. Ensure each condition is met, as the orange button cannot be selected otherwise.

For a round to be draft eligible:

  1. Drafting cannot have already occurred
  2. The previous round must have already drafted
  3. All drivers on a team must have raced in that round

For a round to be scoring eligible:

  1. Scoring cannot have already occurred
  2. The current round must have already drafted
  3. Round results must be downloaded

If team lineups need to be edited, select the edit lineup button. This allows for trades between teams or temporary swaps if a driver is out for a race to occur. This button cannot be selected if scoring for the round has already occurred or if drafting has not occurred.

If round results need to be updated (say a penalty was applied after the race concluded), and scoring potentially redone, select the delete round button. This button will delete downloaded results, and delete any scoring that has taken place if any. To re-download race results, navigate away from this round and then return, as round results automatically download when a round is loaded. This button cannot be selected if scoring has not occurred and race results are not downloaded.

If a round lineup needs to be deleted, select the delete lineup button. This will delete lineups as if drafting for that round never occurred. This button cannot be selected if scoring has already occurred or if the round is the first round of the season.

Handling Errors

If an error occurs during scoring or drafting, it will appear in purple at the top of the screen. This error prevents the action from taking place, and must be remedied before the action can take place. This error will automatically disappear after five seconds.
