Wreck SX/MX FORGE CONTEST Due to some recent tournaments being hosted by Rob Chokes we have decided to run a forge contest based on his style of tracks. They are so uniquely crafted, and have seen such a high demand to race on, that we feel the community needs more tracks readily available. This style of track is of course the drunken SX/MX track than intersects with itself. These tracks will be raced with wrecking allowed so it is encouraged to make the tracks as hectic as possible. If you need to see a track for reference it is recommended to check out Uptown SX by Rob Chokes. This contest is being held on Halo The Master Chief Collection. You are allowed to create a track on the following games: Halo 2 Anniversary Halo 4 Halo Reach Rules: The track must have 16 spawn points inside a spawn gate on Halo 4 or Halo Reach. No gate is required on H2A but the 16 spawn points in the starting area is still required. The track must intersect itself at least twice. The track must be SX or MX or AX style or a hybrid. (aka compound) The track must have checkpoints helping guide the racers on where to go as well as to keep track of laps being driven. (Colored lights or pieces are also helpful but not required) The minimum lap time is 25 seconds. No co-forges are allowed. You must be the only person to design the track. The mongoose is the only vehicle allowed. Gravity Lifts and Man Cannons as well as other memelike objects are allowed. All tracks need to end on a finish line jump. It can be any sized jump. The tracks can have sections where racers are going in opposite directions. Contest Date Begins 12:00 AM EST - Saturday, February 8th, 2020 Contest Submission Closes 11:59 P.M PST - Sunday, March 15th, 2020 Judging: If needed a panel of judges will be used to limit the entrants to the best 10 submitted. This will help narrow down the contest before the voting begins. If there are less than 10 submitted the voting will begin right away. Judges (Kat2BKittnMe, Le Hefe, Rob Chokes) Voting: Once the judges have selected the 10 best maps voting will open up to all HaloTracks members. Members will vote on their favorite 3 tracks, in order, to determine the winner of the contest. They will have one week to vote on the contest before the winner is announced. WHAT DO I GET WHEN I WIN? You’ll get nothing and like it! The top 5 tracks in the contest will be raced in a tournament on the following Monday, March 23rd after submissions close. The 1st place track will get a piece of custom HT Memorabilia. Signup List: 1. Kat2BKittnMe 2. Rob Chokes 3. Real Deal D 4. NukedlceCream

So with the Mayhem tournaments bringing in a lot of interest lately to the Halo racing community, there've been little actual Mayhem tracks that have been forged on Halo 5 to counteract that. By definition of "Mayhem" I mean - collision courses, pitfalls, traps, obstacles. Not just a track with dirty racing enabled by fault of rules. If you need an example, refer to OrionHardy84's 'Coprophemia' or 'Criss Cross'. We need more Mayhem tracks! That being said I propose a question to the HaloTracks community. How much support, as a whole, would be given to a Mayhem Forge Contest for Halo 5? How many people would forge a track for this? I may consider offering a prize such as Xbox Giftcards, or XboxLive Gold, to the winner or podiums; but only if there is a big enough turnout to warrant it, as long as that's ok with HT administration, in addition to the usual map feature. Closing statement. We need more tracks in general. We need more Mayhem tracks. Support for a Halo 5 Mayhem forge contest? Yay or nay?
