What are Tournaments?
Tournaments are set of tracks that are played back to back with faults and time being added together. If you spend 30 seconds and get 1 fault on the first track, then those are added into your tournament score. If you don’t like a run you made on the second (or third/fifth/eighth) track, then you will need to start over from the beginning of the tournament.
How are Tournaments different in Trials Fusion?
Tournaments are no longer static sets of tracks. We will be able to create new tournaments, in new combinations, with different open times, as often as we would like. You’ll still be competing against your friends on the leaderboards, but each tournament is open for a limited time. You could participate in a 3 day Medium tournament consisting of 5 tracks that has prizing for the top 60% of players, or you could get pulled into an Extreme tournament that lasts a few hours and only awards the top 3 places.
What happens when the Tournament timer hits zero?
Make sure you don’t wait until the last minute to play in a tournament! If a tournament’s timer hits zero while you are still playing, then you will be taken back to the tournament’s menu with a DNF for that set (nobody likes to DNF!). Note that your best previous score for the tournament will still count.
How many Tournaments are there?*
In order to foster the competitive spirit, three tournaments will be available at any given time, though there should always be a good mix of difficulties so everyone has something challenging that they can enjoy. At the launch of this Feature Pack we will have 30 tournaments that can cycle in and out of play.
What place & prize did I get on a tournament?
You can check out the notification area (left bumper on most consoles or Q on keyboard) and head to the Tournaments section to see your placing and collect your reward. If a tournament is still open, then you can continue to try for better times, as well as see your placing in the Tournaments section in the Ride category.
Do I need to get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd to earn a Tournament prize?
In most cases earning a tournament prize means coming it at a certain percentage of participants, such as the top 50%. In some rare cases a tournament may require you to be in first, second, or third place.
