Ty for videos Nurse! and for data fast! And np Saro :P

Grats Paul! Very fun tourney all, TY NoVa for organizing! Also, if interested, planning a boost race tourney 2 weeks from NoVa's tourney, http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/SASRTT/discussions/0/364039785163025053/ :D

Good call NoVa! I hope to have the sober mind to make my post more formal tomorrow or the day after, but I'll plan to have it 2 weeks (roughly) after NoVa's tournament.

Garfield loves lasangas! xD They'll be a prize... but only for me xDD

Welcome to my first BOOST RACE(!) tournament, using Epona's rules.

The tournament will take place on Saturday, May 14th (IF we have enough signups/interest - I realize this is a short notice time, can delay tournament if necessary) at 7PM UK Time (GMT +1:00) (the same time as NoVa's tournament on Saturday, April 30th - if enough people can agree on a different time that works best for all/most, feel free to suggest and we may change it! :D). Anyone is free to join.

Please check the event post here to determine what time it starts in your own timezone. Thank you.

Copy/paste of Epona's rules from NoVa's most recent post, with major edits in [brackets]:

1. All 20 normal tracks will be played in completely random order [BUT GAME MODE WILL BE BOOST RACE].
- First round will be 10 tracks.
- Finals will be 10 tracks.

2. Qualifications for the Finals
- 2 Lobbies = Top 5.
- 3 Lobbies = Top 3. The 10th spot will be decided by points, or a tiebreaker will determine the last qualifier if needed.
- Tournaments generally last around 2 hours and 30 minutes on average. Please note that any more rounds would extend it by quite a bit.

3. The host of the lobby will start the next race as soon as everyone has picked a character or else the maximum waiting time is 5 mins. If for some reason you are not ready, please leave your character on random and/or mention it in the group chat.
These 5 minutes will also be used in case someone disconnected to give them time to rejoin the lobby.

4. Hosts of the lobbies have the responsibility to take screenshots of the results after every race.
- This is so that if someone disconnects/network error/crashes or has to go, they keep their points. BUT other participants can help too, as sometimes the host misses a screenshot.
--[In the event that a person or persons crash during the course of the race, they will be awarded the points earned by their respective bot. HOWEVER, if 5 or more players experience a network error/crash (or if the lobby agrees by consensus), the race can be restarted (even if already completed - in this case, the points of previous race will be disregarded, and only points from re-race will count).]

5. Sign up deadline is TWO (2) hours before the tournament begins.
* If you sign up after that, you are NOT guaranteed a spot unless someone doesn't show up.

6. Be ready to deal with S-class A.I
* Their scores do not count but their driving/items will SURELY affect the outcome of the races!

7. Steam chat will be used to communicate.
- If you're not in the Steam group chat for whatever reason, the host will assume you're not ready if your character is on Random, but if you already picked a character, the race will start after 5 minutes.

8. If enough hosts are willing to, there will be rooms beside finals one (brackets).
This is so that everyone can be ranked in the tournament. Or else only the finalists will be. [ty for idea Epona and for posting NoVa :)]

**9. Unlike previous boost race tournaments, this tournament will allow the use of tokens on the bonus chance at the start of each race, and any powerups/items/bonuses gained via the bonus chance spin will not be punished - so if you have tokens and want to test your luck, GO FOR IT! :D

Also, I really like your idea of a separate lobby from finals so everyone can be ranked! If I don't make finals, which is fairly likely xD I'd be happy to host a lobby! I'm East-Coast US if that helps :P

I'm down NoVa! You don't have to do Steam wallet, but very kind of you to offer :D I'll try to organize at least one myself coming up to maybe take some of burden off you :)

Sign me up please! (as either Garf or Unkfield).

Also, thanks so much for organizing this! And good luck in job hunt! :D

Sign me up as Garf18BL please :D
