Forza Horizon 4/Hosting /ovg/ series

So you have the next big idea and want some help making it real? You've come to the right place!

Create the doc

There is a template available in the /ovg/ doc for easy doc creation.

Open the doc
Click on the hamburger menu at the bottom left
Find the "doc template" sheet in the list, open it
Right click the template tab at the bottom, select Duplicate
Rename the copy to your awesome series short name (/ovgfh4/ + a suffix if needed)
Edit all the fields in the doc with the names, round list, etc.

This section is a good read if you want to put any effort into your series, otherwise just go with the flow and skip that.

When entering race dates, type it in full length with a GMT start time (for instance, 11/10/2018 20:00)
- This allows proper start time calculation
- Note that in the Format->Number menu there's a preset for the short dates typically used (it's labelled 26-Sep)
Start time calculation is achieved by setting the race index in BT31
- Make sure the days reading in BT33 is positive
- Typically you need to increment the index by 2 for each race because of 2 column wide race events

As before, find the WATR club
Select the Looking for Group tab
Click on Create post
Select FH4
Fill in the data
- Race start hour is in your local time
- Set your post name to something recognizable, ideally the series' name
- Remember that Horizon Convoys are limited to 12 people so going past need 11 may not be useful

At the scheduled event start, find your post in the LfG section
Click "Gather party"
Wait for everyone to join the party
Click Invite -> Invite party to game
Wait for everyone to join your Horizon Convoy
- Monitor that in the Horizon Convoy menu (Y button from pause)
- Wait until everyone has a car, this is the sign they're properly loaded into the session
