Title: Week Day Tournament
Post by: teeds on February 01, 2017, 06:21:27 PM
I'm thinking of organising races on a weekday evening. Starting at about 8-9 pm GMT and ideally running heats to work within the current MXB multiplayer limits. Not sure if enough are still playing now since the B5 release for it to work, so i'm wondering if enough riders are interested?

:)

I would be up for that. If It is not serious, what about thematic races? There is a KX125 and aRC125 that could start a grid;)

My current thoughts about how to run it -

This event to be run within the current capabilities of MXBikes and can hopefully be expanded in the future as the game limits are pushed back with new releases from Piboso.

The tournament will involve running several heats SX style to decide the main line-up. 1 server will be running practice for all and when a tournament starts, a separate race server will be used to hold each race. Those taking part in a race will be called to join the race server and when finished will need to return to the practice server to practice and await their next race call. The heat races will be short to keep waiting times down with the main being slightly longer.

The heats will be setup to run in different formats depending on the number of participants but should also allow for lag free racing that can be replayed to a decent standard. A single race might be held if numbers are too low to run heats.

This event may also hold spec races to keep things even, make joining requirements very simple and to blow the dust off some lesser used bikes.

Race day has yet to be decided but it will be held on a weekday. Please post below if you have days you can or can't make, will try to make it accessible for as many as possible. The races will be held between 8-10pm GMT, start time will be 8, 8.30 or 9 (TBC) and the practice server will be available several days before the event.


Open to suggestions etc. Aiming for this to be just a fun thing that gets riders on at the same time.
