Scheduled Times:
EDIT: Saturday, December 8 - 3:00 - 5:00 PM PST
Saturday, December 15 - 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM PST
Sunday, December 16 - 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST
We have decided to add more times due to the lack of notice we have given. They will most likely be after the holidays.
New Info:
* The top 25 players must add GT: Squishei to your friends list to secure your spot in the tournament by Wednesday, December 12 at 12:01 AM (Pacific Standard Time). This allows us to ensure that you have acknowledged that you will be participating in the stage tracks. After December 12th, if there are remaining spots, the correct number of standbys will be contacted by PM on these forums and on Xbox Live with instructions.
* You must be online at one of the scheduled times (dates TBD, just waiting for one thing). If you do not show up to race at any of the scheduled times, then you will be disqualified; there will be no make up day.
* You have 2 minutes to complete each course with unlimited faults. Once 2 minutes is up, your run is over. You will run all the tracks (if applicable) in quick succession.
* Do NOT share your times or progression for the tournament tracks.
* The spectator track is red and the tournament track is blue. The tournament track is placed in the front lane, and the game will be restarted if the player is not placed there. The rider may NOT move unless on the blue track.
* You will have limited communication with the tournament hosts and will only receive basic directions.
* This tournament will have tracks that have not been on track central. Each has an increase of difficulty over the last.

Info:
* The winner of the tournament will receive an official Trials Evolution Hoodie, a 1 year Xbox Live Gold Subscription and the title of GOTETS Winter 2012 Champion.
* The Phoenix 250cc is the ONLY bike that will be allowed.
* The stage tracks were built for easy spectating with minimal distractions for the rider.
* The tournament consists of 4 stages, tracks specially built for this event. The tracks will not released on Track Central. The first time each rider will see the track is when when riding. Unlimited faults are given, as only time matters in this tournament. However, there is a par time of 2 minutes for each course. If 2 minutes is reached, the run is over and the lobby is immediately closed to prepare for the next rider.
* The winner of the tournament will be the player that completes the furthest stage in the least amount of time. If no riders are able to complete a stage, then the winner is the rider who reaches the furthest obstacle in the least amount of time.
* We are only taking the 25 people into the tournament stage, and you must qualify in order to participate in these 4 tracks. This will be decided using a qualifier track.
* DLC is NOT required.
Qualifier:
* The qualifier will be released on Track Central on Friday, Nov 30 at 12:01 am PST (8:01 am UTC) and named "GOTETS Qualifier" under the GT: Squishei. It consists of obstacles similar to those from the stages and has the same camera angle and FOV as in the stage tracks.
* At the beginning of the qualifier the bike is locked and the timer is paused at 0. This is to prevent unknown people from attempting the qualifier. However, we have a “code” that will unlock the bike and start the timer when the code is complete. To avoid the frustration of entering the code each reset, the LB will reset the rider to the beginning of the qualifier and reset the timer. The code is: RB, RB, RB and only needs to be entered once. You have unlimited attempts at the qualifier to place in the top 25 players by Monday, Dec 3rd at 12:01 am PST (8:01 am UTC).
* Similar to the stage tracks, there is no fault count for the qualifier and only time will matter.
* The qualifier contains 1 or 2 elements from each stage track and is considered shorter than each stage track.
* We will compile a list of the top 25 riders and reveal the list on YouTube, the forums, and twitter using the hashtag #GOTETS
* Further instructions will be released after the qualifier has been completed.
* Recommended skills: back wheel bounce, fender hook, brake hook, bunny hop, switch hop, brake tapping.
* Disclaimer: If it appears that you are not moving on the tracks within 15 seconds then you will be disqualified as this event will be recorded and livestreamed with commentary.
* Disclaimer: If you want your GT to remain hidden, do not participate as the event will be recorded and released publicly on YouTube.

Cool sounds interesting. How is it possible to not release the tracks on TC though? If you're doing it where you need to accept a friend request and they invite you into a multiplayer ride on it then I won't be able to compete because for some reason my internet will specifically not let me do that exact thing.

I suppose the million dollar question would be...are the tournament tracks going to be anything like the ones in the video above??

That is actually exactly how it is planned.Originally Posted by DannersMac
No. They'll be exactly like the qualifier, which you'll get to see on Friday. I'm pretty sure the video is just random clips with explosions.Originally Posted by Retribution
