GU Downhill - Season #1 2017



[GU] Events Presents...
Our first official event within Live For Speed S2!
Date: Sat Mar 25th - 6:00PM GMT - 1:00PM USA (Approx) - 7-8PM Europe (Approx)



Overview

A downhill duel competition using TBO’s set in a single knockout table. This is a downhill event containing a layout of which we believe will be a lot of fun for many of us. Rounds will be 1 V 1 and the winners will move on to the next stage when suitable. You will be racing down a layout containing many fun, yet somewhat difficult corners and turns. You will need to think strategically and create a setup of which will be uniquely perfect for this layout, giving you the best chance of winning.

In this event, names will be chosen for the knockout table structure. 2 drivers per bracket, 2/3 runs per bracket (Best out of 3), driving down a layout made by Sinanju (edited by Huski & TAZxx).

For the final, there will be a total of 4 runs to decide the winner. If it ended 2 - 2 then there would be a 5th run of which will be the decider.

We will be using a website for the Bracket / Knockout Table structure, the site we decide to use is yet to be announced. - We will announce it here once decided.

We will be streaming the event on our Twitch channel with live commentary. This can be found here: GU Twitch

The server will have a password set at 5:40PM GMT. If you are unable to join until 6PM GMT then you must PM me to explain why and must ask for the password to allow you to connect to our server.

The server on the day (25th March - Saturday) will be called [GU] Event Server S2
