[h2]Super League Details[/h2]

We will be competing on 15 of the 35 level submissions from the Offroad Adventure level contest held earlier this month. You can checkout all submissions on the Steam Workshop!

The rooms will open around 10 minutes before the event starts and is scheduled to last around 2 hours (7 minutes per level) with a rest period half way through. The first timed level will begin on the hour (~10 minutes after rooms open)

The leaderboards in all rooms will be tracked and will be combined into a single overall leaderboard post-event on zeepki.st/super-league!

Top 3 with the most points will receive a special racing helmet IN-GAME, a Discord role and 3,000 chat EXP in our Discord server!

[h3]THEME: Paragliding[/h3]

Build a level that utilises the newly added Paragliding Changer gate effect for at least 50% of the level! (i.e, if your level is 60 seconds long, a minimum of 30s should be with the paraglider active)

Looking for ideas? How about a descent down a mountain, through a scenenic forest landscape or twisting through city streets!

[h3]DEADLINE[/h3]

• Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 25th August 2024 at 18:00 BST
• Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above
  

[h3]SUBMISSION RULES[/h3]

1. You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
   
2. Level collaborations are permitted (Maximum of 3 players per level. This counts as a level submission for each individual creator. Please name/mention collaborators when submitting)
   
3. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
   

[h3]THEME RULES[/h3]

1. The Paragliding Changer effect MUST be active for at least 50% of the level (i.e, if your level is 60 seconds long, a minimum of 30s should be with the paraglider active)
   

[h3]LEVEL RULES[/h3]

1. Scaling track pieces is permitted
   
2. Level MUST follow any theme requirements set above

4. Level MUST have an author time above 30 seconds
5. Level MUST have an author time under 75 seconds (1m15s)
   
6. Level MUST have at least 2 checkpoints. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
   
7. Level MUST NOT have risky or hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g blind shortcuts or using no-collision/invisible/logic blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)
