Trials team is fully committed to making the game better in long run
We have been following the launch closely, and it seems that some nasty bugs(*) weren't noticed by us in the heat of the final push to get the game released. We are sorry about that.
Antti just tweeted about the forthcoming improved tournament functionality and our long term plans about updating the game. Rest assured, the team is fully committed in making the game better in the long run. There will be free patches that will add missing features to the game (and fix the bugs found).
(*) For example missing split times when ghost is disabled, and FMX tricks affecting Trials speed running leaderboard scores.
