Maniaplanet Forum

I've decided to personally put on a contest, featuring three important areas of TrackMania.

I've posted the three contests over on Mania Exchange. There's something for nearly everyone: drivers, builders, screenmakers. And you can participate whether you own TM²Canyon, TM²Stadium, or even TMUF/TMNF.

Head on over to the rules page and see how you can join the fun!

Sounds interesting. Good luck all participants.

Can I be the one to buy those 16 keys?

They're not for sale. You have to win them.
No one will get them before keys are publicly available anyway. I don't have them yet either.
If you'd rather buy keys, just buy them when the game is out.

Nice contest! I hope I can win one key

but one question:

If somebody saved the replay from his dedimania record (which was before 28th) and uploads it, will he win or will he be disqualified?

Release date is on 4th July unfortunately. I guess I need to buy the game anyway and then need to give the key to my brother if I win one key

You can't upload online replays on MX anymore, so I didn't think about that being an issue.

I'll add something to the rules to clarify that online replays aren't allowed. (Edit: Online replays will be allowed for TMUF replays though).

Also the date changed to 27th. I was tired when I when I wrote that last night and I got confused about what today's date was.

Yeah, release is coming earlier than we could have imagined. Some may wait to get the key they win, some will take it as a 2nd key. I wish I would have started this earlier.

7 days should be enough for a contest, but it's your contest so you decide

Surprisingly, 7 days is not enough for some track builders to build their tracks, especially if they're building in United. Many of the best builders are accustomed to testing and re-testing for some weeks.

Plus, there's 3 contests, so people may want to participate in multiple areas... so they need time to do that. Also, some players may not hear about it for a few days if they're not checking the sites. So this allows for more participants in the long run.

I think I'll keep the deadline as it is, even if it's less than ideal for players to receive the prizes later than the release day.

hey this is really good thanks for this my chance to have valley i have a question about the driving contest where can i see the rankings?? and how to upload my time? sorry for my noobiness
