A small issue I have is comparing Extreme to Easy tracks. For example, someone can make an excellent Extreme track, but make it very tricky to finish, on the other hand everyone will finish the Easy track, and as long as the theme and background are good (note, they don't have to be excellent) the track will be up-voted.
Basically, I'd like to know how you're going to differentiate judging Extreme and Easy tracks.
I hope this pans out, I've been itching to try my hand at a more focused track build.
If anything I'd wager that most of the community is partial towards hard/extreme tracks rather than easy tracks though. So if the judges come from the community, the sheer number of likes/upvotes should be irrelevant.Originally Posted by HighOnSpeed Go to original post
Hey HighOnSpeed. Regarding your question, there has been many tournaments on trials in the past with the same easy to extreme participation rating and I have never seen this question before and it is a good one. To answer that in a way, it first depends on getting judges that are willing to judge tracks fairly, since that is how the winners will be picked. There will be around 5 judges in total, some from the community, others from RedLynx.Originally Posted by HighOnSpeed Go to original post
Also, I tend to use a certain judging system when playing tracks: Game play (Drive line), Looks, and Creativity. For example, a pure extreme drive line that may have the best game play ever, will lose if another track that is a medium, that has awesome looks, game play, and creativity. Hope that clears things up a little bit.
EDIT: Still considering judges if anybody is still interested.
Glad that clarify's things. Regarding the theme, the reason why no theme is listed yet, is because if everybody knew the theme, people could start on their track before the start date. Once more people show interest in this competition then I can release the theme and start date. Then we can begin building.Originally Posted by HighOnSpeed Go to original post
