Generall there has been at least one short sessions server over the last few months, 6 to 10 min qualy and 15 to 20 min races. There may be stacked sessions to mix up time of day of the races but all sessions are pretty short.
In general the lobby setup really doesnt help as no matter how I set filters our servers rarely show anywhere but the bottom of the list, locals are shown all the huge ping servers first so it doesnt encourage them to join regional servers and the lobby seems not to favour higher rated servers even if someone sets filters to clean racing and low latency it shows the same list.
If a server has a few people in it then it gets pushed up the lobby list and possibly gets quickjoiners in it but then if its an Aussie server it will get many 300+ pingers join and we have no way of stopping that. This makes aussie public lobbies mostly useless if busy, thats kind of why we tried to run some Singapore servers but these generally get less people join even though in the current system its probably the best geo location for public servers with no ping limits.
If we get tools to set sheduled races without needing an admin present I would set up at least 1 race weekend per night on our servers. Clearly not expecting everyone to race every night and most are already stretched at 1 or 2 nights per week. But there may be others that want some racing other days/nights and this could also get more people into the league if they see some active good mp racing on servers with our name in it.
There really isnt any decent mp racing you can just jump into in our region, if we had cp servers that could probably fill that role. But if we could do similar with ROOZ servers it would help get more into our league possibly.
Who knows if we will get more tools as admins, if the lobby will improve or if cp servers make it to our region. I sure hope at least one of those comes with the next update especially with an intercontinental challenge dlc.
