    Does anyone want to talk about the fact that MatthewMatthew58 just popped up out of nowhere and casually did all this

    Spacebar and free time does wonders, he also said he has spacebared for 5 months or something, so he has built up some skill, but yes, he did pop out of nowhere.

    This both triggers me and makes me happy, I hardly ghosted but t12 still gives back to us, another reason to praise the legend, thank you for everything you do and then some.

    Also Totoca12 give the coins to the most active accounts that you mentioned, so verybad_mobile and TypicalEshay for verybad and charred. And tbh, unless they got really high in rankings and got more coins, they probably want it for their main account for the headgear.

    Now this is finally it, lol. My final relevant post for this contest. I know that not all of you guys are like big FRHD essay readers or entusiasts, so I'll try to make it shorter than usual (and probably will fail this task). But this is always a highlight in the fun side every year, the Bonus Prizes. I decided to only keep 90 coins of the 11090 coins that are left with me, so our bonus prizes pot will be 11k.

    So without further ado, the bonus prizes:

    "Hall Of The Underdogs Of Honor" Bonus - For the people that are used to be in the contests I host this is a classic! I did this one for every year since I started hosting contests with the Free Rider World Cup 3. This one is for the players that might have been underestimated, and managed to show us a good performance in the contest, nevertheless. I decided to give this prize this year for 3 different players, that weren't expected to do that much and did great. In this specific case, these players were the ones that received the least votes in the poll asking about who would advance in the Qualifiers, and they managed to finish among the best 14 players in the contest. INSANE! MatthewMatthew58 will take 300 extra coins from the pot for his 10th place and lightninggod and R1ley070 will take 250 coins for their 13th and 14th places in the contest. (800 coins from the pot)


    "Trackmakers At Work" Bonus - This is a 100 coins prize for all of the FRWC6 trackmakers (besides me). Thanks guys, couldn't have done without you guys. So I'm giving 100 coins to RandomTurtleBoi, Coated_Badger, G-raffe, Eryp, Innominate, SilentFinger, robbieraysfan, Cerasium, RadiumRC, lightninggod and SketchyLemon. (1100 coins from the pot - 1900 total)


    "The Hitmaker" Bonus - I did this prize once for the most popular track of the contest. Since this time we had different tracks for the highest approval and the biggest amount of plays, I'll share the prize between both trackmakers. The track with the highest approval rating was https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/925959-duality-frwc6-finals by SketchyLemon, with 96% of approval and 3.2k plays. The most popular track in terms of plays was https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/924462-frwc6-lc-finals by RadiumRC, with 84% of approval and 10.5k plays. The track was even featured for a bit, so it was a good one as well, despite the whole controversy regarding it. 300 coins for each one. (600 coins from the pot - 2500 total)

    "The L Club" Bonus - This bonus is for him, the best of the losers, the Losers Champion, the great Setsu, that had a remarkable performance in the contest. You got the L earlier in the Eliminatory Stages, but turned this L into a learning experience that made you win the Losers Championship and almost get the 3rd Place medal. Nice job with the 4th place. 500 coins for you. (500 coins from the pot - 3000 total)

    "The Way Of ZPresley" Bonus - This is a bonus for those, like the great ZPresley, defeated FRWC medalists in a 1v1 (or 1v1v1) match, using the mystic technique known as "The Way Of ZPresley". 100 coins for Cerasium for the win over WrzodX, 100 coins for adversitas for the win over WrzodX as well, 100 coins for RadiumRC for the win over Stevie.T, 100 coins for Xenom for the win over Totoca12, 100 coins for MatthewMatthew58 for the win over Stevie.T, 100 coins for Sidewalk for the win over WrzodX and 50 more coins for him for being ahead of me in the 1v1v1 match that Setsu won. Also, 100 coins for Setsu for that. (750 coins from the pot - 3750 total)

    "Old But Gold" Bonus - This is the medal for OGs. Players that are in the community for at least 4 years and that managed to make it to the top 10 in this contest. I won't consider myself, though. 250 coins for Setsu, 250 coins for Reborn, 150 coins for Uniior, 150 coins for Sidewalk and 150 coins for Coated_Badger. (950 coins from the pot - 4700 total)

    "V for Vendetta" Bonus - This is a bonus for the players that had a loss in an eliminatory round of a big ghosting contest against a certain player and then got their revenge in the FRWC6. 100 coins for Uniior for getting his revenge in the Round of 16 for his loss against Chaos-Fallen in the Round of 16 of the FRWC5 last year. 100 coins for Cerasium for getting his revenge in the Championship Finals for his loss against RadiumRC in the Semifinals of the End Of Season Tournament last year. I'll also give 50 coins to CHARREDLIZARD21 for getting a revenge against Chaos-Fallen in the Losers Championship after a loss in the Group Stages, 50 coins for MatthewMatthew58 for the same reason, but against adversitas and also 50 coins for lightninggod, for the exact same reason, but against Cerulean. (350 coins from the pot - 5050 total)

    "The Tireless Warrior" Bonus - This is a prize I usually give to the players that grind the tracks the most and keep trying no matter what. I think I'll split this prize between Cerasium, Xenom and Setsu, because those guys were the most active and tried until the end in all of the rounds. Xenom grinded every track to get his 3rd place medal, Setsu tried his best and Cerasium grinded every track in this contest, even the 3 ones that were for round he was no longer a part of, lol. The guy is working overtime on FRHD, haha. Nicely done! 200 coins for each one. (600 coins from the pot - 5650 total)

    "1 Minute For The Rest Of Your Life" Bonus - Backtwice would be proud. Even your best bro Cerulean would be proud. My man Cerasium just pulled off a Backtwice and not only won his match but won the whole contest not only making one, but two last minute ghosts that changed how this contest was going during pretty much THE WHOLE round, since RadiumRC got an early lead, as usual. Crazy stuff! On top of that, the guy livestreamed it in the Discord server. What a legend, lol. 350 coins for that. (350 coins from the pot - 6000 total)

    "The Immortal Rider" Bonus - This is the prize for those players that refuse to leave the contest, even when it seems that they should be out, lol. Coated_Badger once again survived something where he should have been eliminated, lol. Last year in the FRWC5, he placed 33rd in the Qualifiers and should have been eliminated there, but someone that wouldn't be able in the contest dropped out and he replaced the player, and managed to place in 22nd, which is a major improvement, lol. This year, he lost to R1ley070 in the 2nd Losers Championship round, but managed to advance since there was a match where none of the players ghosted the track, so he qualified as a replacement for having the best time among the losers of that round among the Losers Championship players. Funny thing is that R1ley070 ended up in 14th and Coated_Badger finished up in 9th, lol. But I want to share this prize with MatthewMatthew58 as well. The guy was an underdog against RubeGoldberger but managed to advance, then he was an underdog against both adversitas and Stevie.T, but neither of the guys ghosted the tracks, so he kept advancing, doing his part, some decent ghosts and finished in 10th place. Incredible! 250 coins for each player. (500 coins from the pot - 6500 total)

    "Here We Go Again" Bonus - This is a prize of 50 coins for the players that had to deal with facing the same player more than once in this contest. 100 coins for Setsu, that had to face Uniior and ShamatoZ twice. Uniior and ShamatoZ get 50 coins each. 50 coins for each CHARREDLIZARD21 and Chaos-Fallen, that faced each other twice. 50 coins for each MatthewMatthew58 and adversitas, that faced each other twice. 50 coins for each lightninggod and Cerulean that faced each other twice. 50 coins for each TPlacella and braw, that faced each other twice. (600 coins from the pot - 7100 total)

    "This Is Not Even My Final Form" Bonus - This is the prize for either young players that are showing potential or players that are starting to have a crazy evoluton in their ghosting skills. You haven't seen everything from these guys yet, but what we have seen is impressive enough already. 300 coins for each Xenom and Setsu. (600 coins from the pot - 7700 total)

    "Once In A Lifetime Moment" Bonus - This is the prize for CHARREDLIZARD21 and AfterImage, that were a part of a singular moment on FRWC history, securing the first ever draw in a 1v1 or 1v1v1 match in this history of the tournament. 200 coins for each one. (400 coins from the pot - 8100 total)

    "You Know Nothing, FRHD Community" Bonus - This is a bonus prize for the winners of the matches in the End Of Season Tournament where the polls got it so wrong that it was funny. I did this bonus a couple of times and it's only for the really unexpected ones with insane differences on the votes in the polls. Each ghoster that lost the poll will get 50 coins for each match they are in. Here are the chosen matches:

    MatthewMatthew58 35.67 vs --- Stevie.T
    Votes: (1-15)
    Percentage of Votes for the Loser: 93,75%
    Round: LC Quarterfinals/Semifinals

    TypicalEshay/CHARREDLIZARD21 2:21.07 vs 2:26.60 Chaos-Fallen
    Votes: (2-11)
    Percentage of Votes for the Loser: 84,62%
    Round: LC Round 2/Quarterfinals

    MatthewMatthew58 4:01.47 vs --- adversitas
    Votes:(2-11)
    Percentage of Votes for the Loser: 84,62%
    LC Round 2/Quarterfinals

    TypicalEshay/CHARREDLIZARD21 45.03 vs 45.03 AfterImage
    Votes: (16-3)
    Percentage of Votes for the Loser: 84,21%
    Round: Group Stage Match 2


    Rippedmagnet --- vs 50.57 TPlacella
    Votes: (14-3)
    Percentage of Votes for the Loser: 82,35%
    Round: LC Round 1/Round Of 16

    I'll also give 50 extra coins to lightninggod (that got no votes in the Qualifiers poll), R1ley070 (that only got 1 vote in the Qualifiers poll) and MatthewMatthew58 (that only got 2 votes in the Qualifiers poll). (400 coins from the pot - 8500 total)

    "Freshman, Who?" Bonus - I usually only pick one FRWC debutee for this, but since we have many debutees in the top 10 and a few players that are making their debut in the FRWC, but are experienced ghosters, I'll go with one the best FRWC debutee and the most surprising result in the contest for me from the debutees. So 250 coins for Xenom and 250 coins for MatthewMatthew58. (500 coins from the pot - 9000 total)

    "You Shall Not Pass" Bonus - 50 coins prize for every time a contestant got first place overall in a round. 200 coins for RadiumRC, 100 coins for Cerasium, 100 coins for Setsu, 100 coins for Xenom, 50 coins for ShamatoZ. (550 coins from the pot - 9550 total)

    "Gone" Bonus - This is a prize for the Master Of Cuts, the Early Round Killer, the Silent Destroyer known as RadiumRC. The guy did great in the contest, he was the player that got the most overall wins in the contest (counting the rounds the players were actually in), he did great during the whole contest but kinda disappeared in the last half of the final round due to some weird stuff. If the foreshadowing is real and he's gone for good, at least he ended with a medal. 100 coins for RadiumRC in honor of his 100k achievement and all he did in the contest as well. He also had a track that was featured, so he would get the traditional "Feature Worthy" bonus, but since that's not really a thing anymore, here's another prize. Gone, but never forgotten. (100 coins from the pot - 9650 total)

    "The Celestial War" Bonus - We did get a fan-favorite final this time. The guys that won all of the polls they were in before the finals came for the final battle. It was a celestial war, two of the greatest to ever do it fighting for the crown, and it was cool. RadiumRC had the crown on his head for at least 95% of the final round, but it's only over when the clock fully stops. Also, with the last minute upset being streamed live by Cerasium and with RadiumRC being silent, but checking the track in the final minutes, I can say for sure that this was the best 10 final minutes of a final FRWC round ever. Probably from any FRHD ghosting contest to be honest. 100 coins for each player. (200 coins from the pot - 9850 total)


    "The Minnesotan Dynnasty" Bonus - I just got an information that I thought it was really cool. Like, apparently mudkip is from Minnesota, Cerasium and Cerulean are from Minnesota and Xenom is originally from Minnesota as well. Like what? Forget the Finnish Dynasty, the Minnesotan Dynnasty just dominated the ghosting contests in the last couple of years. 1st and 3rd place in the FRWC5, 1st place in the ORG, double 1st place in the GBC3, 3rd place in the EOST and now 1st and 3rd place in the FRWC6. Like what? LOL. It's like 9 out of 10 cientists say that you have 90% more chances of being a FRHD god if you are born in Finland or in Minnesota. LOL. What's up rest of the world? Let's step up our game, haha. This was too funny to not make a bonus prize about it. I'll give 125 coins for each Cerasium and Xenom, with extra 25 coins for Cerulean and also 25 coins for mudkip, just because I liked this information. (300 coins from the pot - 10150 total)

    "The Infinity Gaunlet" Bonus - This is a bonus for Cerasium, that got his 6th ghosting medal on forums, lol. Him and RadiumRC have now tied with zwinxz for the most medals on forums (6). But all of zwinxz medals are trackmaking related, while RadiumRC has 4 ghosting ones and 2 trackmaking ones. Cerasium is the first to reach 6 ghosting medals, the first to have 5 ghosting contest medals, the first to have 3 major ghosting contest 1st place medals. He was also the first to win a GBC and a FRWC. And he also won the ORG. He's also only the 4th player (the first one besides the Finnish Dynasty) to get 2 FRWC medals. Good stuff, man. So, just like Thanos, he reunited his 6 infinity ghosting medals and he's ready to eliminate everyone once and for all. Or maybe just half of us. 350 coins for him. (350 coins from the pot - 10500 total)

    "The Prophecy Of The 2 Seasons" Bonus - The new king is here. The ZPresley follower that sent his sign last year and came back for the crown this time. The one among the chemical elements in the podium, the one that brought new red skies to the world, the Record Setter, the one and only Cerasium! All hail to the new FRHD king, Cerasium, first of his name! The crown stays in the US, the crown stays in Minnesota. Good stuff, man. 500 extra coins for Cerasium (500 coins from the pot - 11000 total)

    Thanks guys for bearing with my long essays, haha. I guess it's over now. I'll be making the transfers soon. Also, it's too soon to say if I'll do another one like this again, but it was a fun one for sure. If it was the last one I could do, it was a cool one. I won't be doing a form for a feedback survey like we did in the past couple of years, but please let me know what you guys thought of the contest. See you guys around!

    PS: Also, I really couldn't give a bonus prize to everyone, so let's just enjoy what we have. Everyone that got past the Qualifiers or that at least ghosted the Qualifiers track on time got coins at least.

    Totoca12 I want to give you a COLOSSAL Thank You for putting this whole event together and hosting it. Despite it having some hiccups with tracks and such, it was a fantastic competition that gave the game a much-needed injection of activity. I was incredibly impressed with your commentary; you had something to say for every matchup in every round, and even predictions for the next round's matchups! That is some realyl incredible stuff man, props to you. This contest was a great opportunity for both ghosters and trackmakers to gain popularity, and while some stories came to a close, many more have just begun. I don't think anyone else here could have hosted this contest to the degree that you have. The effort you put into this game does not go unnoticed, and we are all grateful for you. All hail Totoca!
