### Simplified Relational Schema for a Video Rental Place

This schema describes a database for managing a video rental establishment, comprising six distinct relations:

1. **VideoRack**  
   - Attributes: `(rackId, rackName)`

2. **Video**  
   - Attributes: `(videoId, videoName, rackId, genreID)`

3. **Staff**  
   - Attributes: `(staffId, staffName, rackID)`

4. **CheckOut**  
   - Attributes: `(videoId, checkoutDate, staffId, rentalDays)`

5. **VideoGenre**  
   - Attributes: `(genreID, genreName)`

6. **Director**  
   - Attributes: `(directorID, directorName, rackId)`

### Explanation

- **VideoRack**: Represents the storage units for videos, identified by `rackId` and labeled with `rackName`.
- **Video**: Contains information about each video, including its unique `videoId`, name, location (`rackId`), and genre (`genreID`).
- **Staff**: Details of the employees, identified by `staffId`, and including a reference to the rack they are responsible for.
- **CheckOut**: Keeps track of video rentals, specifying which video was rented (`videoId`), the date of rental, the staff member responsible, and the number of days rented.
- **VideoGenre**: Defines the genres available, each with a unique `genreID` and name.
- **Director**: Lists directors and associates them with videos using `rackId`.

This schema allows efficient management of video inventory, staff responsibilities, and rental transactions in the video rental place.
