Halo: Reach expanded on Halo 3's sandbox in revolutionary ways. We were given Forge World: An expansive, open world environment which offered us seemingly limitless environments. New tools were invented, and Forgers took full advantage of them. Hundreds of thousands of maps have been created in Halo: Reach. A large number of those have been racetracks. We honored the best racetracks ever made during the closing of Halo 3. Now, Reach is coming to an end as the premiere Halo title and it is time to honor what was made once again. However, this year we are not only honoring the best racetracks made in Halo: Reach, but the best racer in Reach as well. Racers will go head-to-head, toe-to-toe against all others to earn the title of best racer in Halo: Reach. Forgers must prove that their racetracks have not only innovated, but inspired. The title of BOHR winner is held above all others. It is now your turn to decide who receives that honor.
How BOHR Works
Best of Halo: Reach is a voting and racing competition to determine the best racetracks and racers in Halo: Reach. Racetracks are nominated by HaloTracks members for different categories. Categories include best tracks of a specific type and the best overall track, which is determined as the best racetrack in Reach. At the end of the nomination period, the voting begins in which HaloTracks members have the only stake in. The maps with the most votes, wins the category.
Unlike Best of Halo 3, HaloTracks is playing host to a large 1v1 tournament to find out who the best racer is in Halo: Reach. The tournament is a single elimination bracket, one racetrack per match and match ups for the first round are completely random. What types of racetracks and how much are race is dependent on the amount of attending racers, however, the final round consists of racing one of each category selected for the map voting portion of BOHR. The last racer standing, wins the tournament.
