[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!
