[h2]Super League Details[/h2]

We will be competing on 15 of the 43 level submissions from the Marine Life: Under the Sea 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!

[h2]Level Contest Community Vote[/h2]

After the Super League event, we will be opening the community vote to everyone on Steam and our Discord server. You will be able to pick your 3 favourite levels from the Marine Life: Under the Sea theme!

- Akane

[h3]THEME: 50 Block Challenge[/h3]

• Build a level that has players racing on a track consisting of exactly 50 blocks!
  

[h3]DEADLINE[/h3]

• Your track should be complete and submitted by Saturday, 29th July 2023 at 18:00 UTC+1
  
  
• 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 (this counts as a level submission for each individual creator)
   
3. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
   

[h3]LEVEL RULES[/h3]

1. Scaling track pieces is permitted
   
2. Level MUST follow any theme requirements set
   
3. Level MUST be exactly 50 blocks (Start/Finish/CPs count! The counter in the Level Editor must be 50)
   
4. Level MUST have an author time above 30 seconds
5. Level MUST have an author time under 1 minute
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 hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g using no-collision or invisible blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)
   

[h3]HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LEVEL[/h3]

1. Join our Official Discord server
2. Upload the level to the Steam Workshop
   
3. Link the workshop item in the theme's thread in #level-submissions
   
   Don't have Discord? You can submit your entry by linking it in the Steam forum thread for this announcement!
   

[h3]WINNERS & PRIZES[/h3]

• Up to 15 of the submitted levels will be used for the next Zeepkist Super League event
  
• The community will vote on their favourite maps from the theme after the ZSL event
  
• Top 3 in the community votes for Best Decor and Best Track Layout will each win a special hard hat cosmetic in-game. Discord users will also get a `Level Contest Winner` role and 3,000 chat EXP in our Discord server.
