Revelation Skirmish
Revelation Skirmish is a tournament for TrackMania United Forever,
organised by Crazy Machine Chicks (CMC), one of TMU's top league-driving
teams.
It's a surpise tournament in two ways: - the maps
aren't seen by competitors before match time. - it introduces a new
mapping technology - something that will be a bigger change to
TM than blockmixing was. To win you will have to learn and adapt
really quickly!
Racing will be in teams of two, in rounds mode,
on servers with up to 24 drivers. The tournament will run on June 12th
(Saturday), from 18:00 to about 22:30 CEST (Berlin, Paris, etc. time).
That's 16:00 to 20:30 UTC.
There will be three stages, each stage
taking about 60 to 70 minutes, with breaks in between: - 18:00 -
19:05 : randomised pregroups - 19:50 - 20:55 : seeded main groups -
21:20 - 22:25 : final Timing may be adjusted according to progress
and player feedback.
For the pregroups and maingroups there will
be several servers, then one server for the final. Each stage will have
7 maps (one for each environment) of about 40-45s, with 1 warmup round
then 7 rounds for points. The points distribution will be, from 1st to
24th place:
50,44,39,35,31,28,25,22,20,18,16,14,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
The
maps should have no shortcuts, but any shortcuts or tricks you find can
be taken.
No teams will be knocked out between the pregroups and
maingroups. The maingroups will just be shuffled based on results from
the pregroups. Points in the maingroups will be worth double the points
in the pregroups. Team points will be the sum of both drivers' points
in pregroups and maingroups. The twelve top scoring teams will go to
the final, with points reset to 0.
The top 3 teams from the final
will receive coppers and tags from CMC reflecting their glorious
achievement! 1st : gold tag and 8000 coppers each 2nd : silver tag
and 4000 coppers each 3rd : bronze tag and 2000 coppers each
Organisers/mappers
for Revelation Skirmish are Boumsong, Bramble, JumperJack, MixD,
Quiksilver, and Zooz. Due to the surprise nature of the cup and mapping
technology, the organisers won't be competing.
