This weeks Acorn tournament. What's going on? | Forums

So, I noticed this weeks Acorn tournament "Steam Machine" is labeled "Medium", but consists only of 4 hard tracks and 1 extreme?!? Pretty harsh for a lot of players... Also, for reaching top 5% in this tournament you get 150 Acorns, whereas the last "Hard" Tournament rewarded 300?

I don't understand it either.

There needs to be some solid way of figuring out what difficulty a tournament is, even a simple scoring would work
Beginner track = 1 point each , easy = 2, medium = 3, hard = 5, extreme = 10
Take each track difficulty that is contained in the tournament and add them up, set up boundaries e.g...
Beginner tournament = <=5 , easy tournament = < = 10 , medium < = 15 , hard = <= 25 , extreme >25

The fact a tournament containing 4 hard tracks and 1 extreme doesn't make any sense what so ever, surely the tournament difficulty should be saying 'people who can complete this difficulty on a track can complete this tournament' but if someone can only do medium then they won't be able to even complete the first track.

Even a tournament with a beginner and 2 hard tracks on evo was labelled a hard difficulty tournament?

I know this doesn't really matter as the difficulty isn't that important and what not but would be nice to have some solid way to figure out the difficulty of a tournament

I think it's just a setting error, the difficulty of a tournament is the difficulty of the hardest track of the tournament.

Well, the hardest track is an Extreme, BUT it's also UGC (Pneumatic Requiem), maybe that's the problem?!

The grind for 75 cents worth of acorns for top 5%....haha. I'll be a hack and pass it for 37.5 cents worth of acorns....top 40%.
The Evelforkenspokes extreme is quite a challenge.

This Acorn tournament was almost as difficult to zero fault as the unicorn tracks....


...almost as difficult.

I actually put in a good three hours today just to get in the top 5%. Haven't missed a week yet, been in the top 5% every time, and I haven't bought any Acorn packs. Currently have 1450 Acorns. 500 more to go...
