Rules & Guidelines

Student Organizations will be in teams (blue and orange) and each team will compete to be placed higher than the others. Upon finishing the race, the teams will be ordered based on the combined placement of their members, and the team with the highest combined placement wins the race.

• Players may pick any character, karts, and glider. Players also are able to switch characters between races. 

• There is one selected cup with 3 courses each chosen at random for the tournament. The courses will be randomly selected for each match. 

• There will be three qualifying games (9 races in total) and a practice round in the beginning.

• Players will be assigned a color at registration to properly identify team members and who wins each race.

• When a race is ended, players must leave the score screen up for the scorekeeper to record the results. Passing this screen will invalidate the match and all players forfeit. 

• After completing a race, teams must announce who won that race. (This is the only way to count all the points for the final result)

• There will be a total of 3 rounds, each round will consist of 3 races. The winner of the round is determined by the team  that wins two or more races within a single round. The winner of the overall match is the team that wins best two out of three rounds.

• In the instance that someone gets kicked out due to internet connection, we will restart the game. 

• Remember to be respectful of your peers, play fairly, and have fun!
