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 NEW special racing helmet IN-GAME, a Discord role and 3,000 chat EXP in our Discord server!

[h3]THEME: Offroad Adventure[/h3]

Build a level that utilises the newly added Offroad Wheels Changer gate effect for at least 75% of the level! (Players should have the offroad wheels on their soapboxes)

Looking for ideas? How about a gravel/dirt rally course or a crawler track up the side of a big hill!
