■Room Settings

・Room Mode
Choose the format of the race that will take place in the room from the following options:

Practice/Race: A practice run will take place before the race.
Practice/Qualifier/Race: A practice run and qualifier will take place before the race.

Practice/Qualifier/Endurance Race: A practice run and qualifier will take place before a race to see who can complete the most laps within a given time limit.

・Room Privacy
Set the privacy level of the room. When set to 'Public', anyone can join. When set to 'Friends Only', room entry will be restricted to friends of the room's creator. If the room owner changes, the privacy setting will be passed on as-is to the new owner.

・Load Settings
Load saved event settings. Current settings will be reset.

・Save Settings
Save current event settings to storage. Saved settings can be loaded using the 'Load Settings' option.

・Create Room
A room will be created using the current settings.

・Room Overview
As well as displaying settings chosen by the room owner, your automatically determined and calculated bandwidth and NAT type will be shown here.

・Room Name
Enter a word or phrase that will act as the name of the room. This will help players decide which room to enter, so keep it clear and simple.

・Race Type
Set Race Type. This setting does not change how the game works. It is merely intended to help players decide which room to use. As such, it is recommended that it accurately describes the room, and the type of races you wish to hold.

・Fixed Room Ownership
Choose whether or not ownership of the room can be transferred to another player if the current owner suffers connection problems or leaves the race. If room ownership is fixed, it cannot be transferred, and the race will be suspended when problems with the room owner occur.

・Max. Number of Participants
This setting governs the maximum number of people who can enter a room at any one time. The maximum possible number is 16. The number of participants will affect race quality, so players with slower connections should choose a smaller number of participants.

・Auto-Start
Set a timer (in minutes) to automatically start the next race. When enabled, the timer will reset after each race.
