Followed by keyboard smash.

nope it is trackmaniaLeonresevil2 wrote: So, 'Trackmania' means Audiosurf, right?
I am working on a custom map, and it will be only on the machine we run the tournament on. It will not be available to practice before doing the practice run listed in the rules. This is just to make everything fair for everyone.Leonresevil2 wrote: Of course, we can find what the custom track is and download it to our own machines during the lan to practice. Right?

What do you define as an "attempt?" One lap, or however many times you can try in a certain time limit?

Just remember, it's all in fun.

Appreciate the feedback. TMN was featured as a genre tournament during our last event in the format you mentioned. We are looking to add a new style, the walk-up tournament, which lasts all day and scores can be acquired at any time and is ran on one consistent PC which gamers literally 'walk up' to. TMN is a great candidate for this sort of method, and is always a great time.KenCoTwelve wrote: Having ran TMN/TMNF tournaments before, this is just plain silly. You can have a tournament last 30 minutes long and encompass a lot of people. I would suggest if you just want one round, host a server and then do 8 minutes of trying to record best time, or if you want to base it on place and do it to a race of 60 points. This is just silly. Plus no 3rd party controllers? That's ridiculous, as driving with a keyboard is just dumb.
My opinion, take it as you leave it, but I've been running TMN/TMNF tournaments for 6 years now.

garfi3ld wrote: we have been talking about that in the staff area, the main concern is that no matter how we set it up there will be some people who still complain about the controller config. Also we don't have a controller on hand over than a Steel Series controller without analog sticks. Using a keyboard may not be ideal but it would atleast be consistent from one person to the next.

Fixed.
I personally like the keyboard idea, maybe from being PC focused now, maybe from nostalgia of playing original Trackmania back before Steam was great, and before controllers on PC were good.

I actually found a hack to re-enable the game port when I had Vista. I REALLY needed to use my MS Sidewinder joystick so I could play X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.Leonresevil2 wrote: And if you still use that 'game port' controller, +1 to you.
