How the event works

CHOOSE YOUR KART: Before 7 PM check-in to sign up for our Mario Kart World casual competition. After 7 PM people that haven’t RSVPed forfeit their spot.

3, 2, 1, RACE: We will call your matches and tell you where to go. You will sit down and play in pods of three to four with easy CPUS on three random tracks. At the end of your match, record what place you got on the scorecard given to you and report back to the organizers. Wait times between matches may be up to 15 minutes.

NEXT LAP: Each match afterwards you will face people that scored similar to you. We’ll try to get as many rounds in as we can. At the end of the event the top four players will be awarded prizes based on how well they did.

Rule Set

All matches are played in the following ruleset:

3-4 Players
150 CC
Normal Items
Easy CPUs
3 Random Tracks

Additional Info

How our casual competitions are better than traditional tournaments and freeplay

Our casual competition system uses the best of both traditional tournaments and free play with none of the drawbacks. Traditional tournaments give structure, but are stressful and people are eliminated quickly if they don’t know how to play well. Free play is less stressful, but without any structure people can be stuck waiting forever to play and skill disparities are unmanaged. Our casual competition system gives just enough structure so that everyone gets to play plenty and play against people close to their skill level while no one is ever eliminated.
