    So, I will make a more organized document about it, but it looks like the calendar is going to be like this:

    PS: Every round is going to start and end in a Saturday. You have a full week to get a time on the track. The exact time that the track starts and ends I will decide soon, but it will probably be at some point on my afternoon, here in Brazil.

    But here are the dates:

    1st Round - February 2nd
    2nd Round - February 9th
    3rd Round - February 16th
    4th Round - February 23rd
    5th Round - March 2nd
    6th Round - March 9th
    7th Round - March 16th
    8th Round - March 23rd

    Winners announced between March 23rd and 24th. Probably in the same day.

    PS2: Mostly of the tracks are already in the works, and we are gathering as much coins as we can for the final pot, so we will see how much we get.

    Updated the main post with the calendar. Here it is:

    Also, here is a preview of the standings for the contest:

    I'm rethinking about some aspects of the punctuation system, so I will post about it later.

    So here is the "new" punctuation system (I think it's the same used in FRHD WC2):

    There will be 8 rounds, and you can earn points in each round and accumulate them.

    In each round the first in the leaderboard who is in the competition gets 30 points, second gets 27, third gets 25. And then it goes: 4th - 24, 5th - 23, 6th - 22, 7th - 21, 8th - 20, 9th - 19, 10th - 18, 11th - 17, 12th - 16, 13th - 15, 14th - 14, 15th - 13, 16th - 12, 17th - 11, 18th - 10, 19th - 9, 20th - 8, 21st - 7, 22nd - 6, 23rd - 5, 24th - 4, 25th - 3, 26th - 2, 27th - 1. Everyone else who completes gets 1 point and if you don't complete the track, you get nothing .

    After 8 rounds, the one with more points wins.

    This way, if you don't do well in a round, you can still recover from it. The other way, it would be way harder.
    Also, updated the main post with this, too.

    I'm only helping making 1 of the tracks, so I don't see an actual problem. I won't take any coins if I finish in the top places. It would be mostly just for fun. But as I said before, I don't know if I'll be able to fix my keyboard or find a solution soon. But if I do, I think it will be fun. Also, I will have screenshots and everything at the end of the rounds, so I will be the first to respect all of the chronograms.

    The whole point of me making this contest is because I always wanted another contest, and I know some other people wanted this either. So, I just stepped up and hosted one. I haven't been in a contest like this for a while so I don't want to miss this one, haha.

    You probably have already thought of this, but should we somehow inform the active ghosters who don't use the forum that often? Apparently HyperCube's account got hacked a while ago and he's been ghosting under the name Vaepor and has gotten pretty active lately, so I asked him if he wanted to join.

    Yes, I sent RedOrBlue a message in the actual game, before he joined here in the forums. So yeah, that's a great idea. HyperCube/Vaepor is going to join the contest?

    Ah come on, haha! You're not a noob. And yes, the contest is highly competitive at this point, but this will be fun. Not only the top 3 will get prizes, we will see what we can do, so let's go.

    Maybe in the future, we could do a "permanent league", like with 2 divisions and stuff like that, during like half of the year. But it would be so hard to organize. But it's an idea.

    I only sent him a message yesterday right after he stopped playing so no answer yet. I hope he does because it seems like he hasn't lost his skills.
    E: he won't participate
