People, tick-tock! sign up!
The tourney is today, just a reminder. :)

:(

Why not. sign me up :)

aw okay. :(

You're in!
And Adam, why?

Welcome to my 2nd Tournament, in Easter and Passover holidays theme :)
This time, a completely Normal Tournament.
I will be happy to see you all showing up themed as well, just like we did with Christmas and halloween. a "memento" picture will be made later on, so be ready!

The tournament will be held on Saturday, at April 15th, 7PM UK Timezone.
Look in here to see the event time as for your timezone.

Sign ups are below. please, if you think you most likely unable to make it, just sign-up as a maybe, and you'll have a saved room.
Also, i'll be happy to see you all this time. :)

Also, I'll give a prizes to the Top3 and the 10th place - A steam game.


I'll be using Epona's traditional rules plus some updated rules, then please give some minutes to read those rules so we can all have a smooth event. the new ones has a blue icon, in order to make it easier for you to spot the new, or the updated rules.

All 21 normal tracks will be played in the order stated below.

• First round will be 9 tracks. Normal mode.
  
• Finals will be 11 tracks. Normal as well.

Qualifications for the Finals

• 2 Lobbies = Top 5.
  
• 3 Lobbies = Top 3. The 10th spot will be decided by points and 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.
Please note that, in my experience, the tournament can be difficult and slow to start up, as many people (since we come from all over) live in different timezones and many not show up quite on time - I ask that all participants try their best to be patient and understanding as we begin to set up the tournament, and do your best to show up 15-30 minutes ahead of time to expedite the process. But once we get going, it should go quite smoothly.

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. in any case, when everyone states that they are ready to start ("r" \ "ready"), the race will start without any delay.

Hosts of the lobbies have the responsibility to take screenshots of the results after every race, in case some will get disconnected mid-race.

In case when someone get disconnected mid-race or has to go, they will be awarded the points earned by their respective bot. lost past score later will be recalculated with the current points and the player's bot results, using the screenshots. however, if 5 or more players experience a network error / crash (or if the lobby players 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).

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.

Be ready to deal with an aggressive S-Class A.I. they are way more stronger than their offline quivalent, using fast acceleration and free boosts in order to catch up with the skilled players. their scores do not count but their driving/items will SURELY affect the outcome of the races!

Steam chat will be used to communicate. If you're not available in Steam the host will assume you're not present.

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, maximum.

If enough hosts are willing to, there will be a room for those who did not advance to finals. That is so that everyone can be ranked in the tournament, or else only the finalists will be.

Be polite to others - nothing more, nothing less. things such as bumps, lag bumps, glitches and yes, falling cakes can happen which can dictate the outcome of the race. Incidents like these are difficult to avoid, so please be prepared for this.

We are on this event for nothing less than having fun. thus, any hate behaviour against any other character\s or any other Inappropriate behaviour WILL NOT be tolerated, and could question your continuation on the tourney.

Those in charge of the tournament are allowed to disqualify a player signup in case that their pressence could bug the others, or being problematic in their eyes - by fair reasons.

Additionally, I know how frustrating and furious it is to fail a race, by any circumstance. but take a deep breath, remember that it's just a game (and sport!) and keep the tourney's chat clean. nobody likes to see others whining, and ANYBODY, regardless to their skill, can fail a race in a drastic way.

We are trying to avoid any drama. any fights between people or groups of people will be held properlly: both must be in seperate lobbies, and if both make it to the finals, one must NOT mention the other in ANY way. failure to do so will result in that person or group being disqualified from the tournament. No warnings will be given.

In case one cannot\prefer keeping on racing on or just before the finals begin, another player will be able to take their place, keeping that player's score - if there any. That player has the right to choose a specific player that didn't made it to the finals. if no choose has been made, the 6th player (calculated with points) from the pre-finals lobbies will get the option to take the player place.

Most important - have fun!
