    Maybe like a tournament for the people who lose? So there are the top three winners but then there is the winner of the ones that lose. [​IMG]This may look a little confusing but it means for the people who lose, they can verse players as good as them and have a little tournament themselves. This may be a good option for any upcoming tournaments.

    That's interesting. I would be there to support some tournaments like this in the near future. Let's make my contest be just the 1st big one of the year. We can do a lot more. Although I don't know if I will host a contest any time soon after this one, I would like to participate and help in some way. Let's keep this kind of thing going.

    PS: This can't be done in my contest because it will be league and not a cup, but it's still a pretty good idea.

    Just a quick reminder that it's starting this Saturday, I'll post the release hour soon, but be ready. You guys will have a whole week to try your best in the track and the round will end in the Saturday after this one. The first track isn't that hard, but will be good for a warm up. Let's see who will take this one... Any changes or updates, I'll let you guys know.

    Seems like many people don't check forum, will they be allowed to enter during the first week?

    If yes, I think the title/description of the first track should be as descriptive of the event as possible to garner more particpants/contributions.

    Good point. I think that it's cool for people to enter anytime until the end of the first round, if they make a ghost on the track. I guess I'll mention in the description (and maybe in the track or title?) that people can enter during the first week. I will just ask to them to say that they're interested and suggest to check the forums. But yes, it can be a nice way to have more people joining the contest. But after the first round it's the end for new contestants to enter in the contest.

    Yes, you can.
    Well, there will be 8 rounds, 1 each week since February 2, every Saturday. You will have the whole week to make a ghost on it, and you get an amount of points based in your placement on the tracks among the people who are in the contest. At the end of all the 8 rounds, the contestant with most points will win. But we have prizes for the top 5 (maybe more, idk).

    Any questions you can check the main post, the post with idea for the contest or ask me.

    I'm really sorry for you man. I know that it is starting to get crazy in Brazil (the military police had to replace the normal police in Rio) so just stay careful!

    I was actually in Rio a couple of months back (I've been there a lot) and my sister and mom and friends went through an attempted carjacking. Luckily, they escaped uninjured, but were shot at a couple of times. Crazily enough, the day before, some political leader was captured in the same spot by the exact same guys... It's insane to think about it when you live somewhere as safe as the U.S., and just for some perspective, we called the police in Rio several times about the incident (while they were still being chased) and they were so scared of the bad guys that they did not even help. On the same trip, there was a massive shooting at the favela called Vidigal right off to the side of Leblon (in Rio) and easily hundreds of bullets were shot and it was basically like a little battle/war between one of the major gangs and the police.

    Crazy stuff... anyways, just stay safe!

    By the way, I'm in for the contest :)

    Yeah, yeah, it's crazy like that sometimes. In my hometown it's much better, because it's a small city and it never happens anything close to what happens in other cities, like Rio, and it's just like 2 hours away in a car drive. But I live in Rio because of my college so it's bad sometimes. The city has some really beautiful parts, but way more problematic ones. Thank you, man!


    Yes! Let's go. It's starting saturday.

    Just to remember, the contest starts tomorrow. Netsik did the first track, and it will be posted by him. I'll put a link to the track here, and also in the main post and in my status, so make sure to check it out tomorrow. We are still figuring out the exact time, but it doesn't really matter for this round, because you are going to have the whole week to ghost it.

    But for the end of the rounds I will decide an exact time, and the ghosts done after that won't count. I'll also take some screenshots to have everything done right, in order to not have eventual problems.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Totoca12 The top 10 on the leaderboard won't necessarily mean the top 10 contestants, there could be random riders also playing the track. You'll have to /r/(username) at the end of the url to get the times for all the contestants
