NEWBIESPLAYGROUND Speedrun Contest 2021


DATE: 12th of November to 21st of November 2021


Greetings to all Unreal players!

NEWBIESPLAYGROUND has organised a special Speedrun Contest as a follow-up to our main 2021 Unreal Contest!
We would like to take this opportunity to invite all players to participate in this challenging Speedrun Contest.

Like our main Unreal Contest, the NEWBIESPLAYGROUND Speedrun Contest 2021 should be seen as a great time for Unreal players to gather together and participate in a sociable competition in a relaxed environment. The aim of this Speedrun Contest is also to provide a complete contrast to our regular Unreal Contest.

As the name suggests, the objective is to finish the selection of maps in the fastest possible time and the scoring of Frags is almost irrelevant. However, should 2 players achieve exactly the same time then the player with the highest Score is considered to be ranked higher. A player's Score is defined as Frags minus Deaths, with the player losing 1 point for each death.

The premise seems simple enough - dash to the end! But due to the nature of the 4 maps, many careful decisions have to be made, especially with regard to which weapons to take and on which map, in order to achieve a smoother and faster progress.

The selection of maps will be as follows :-

  • NYLEVE (NyLeve's Falls)
  • SPIREVILLAGE (SpireVillage)
  • SKYTOWN (Na Pali Haven)
  • MPGLATHRIEL2 (MP Glathriel Village)


Servers are available right now for practice, prior to the start of the Speedrun Contest on November 12th. Players can practice by using the console command TRIALMATCH on any of the 3 Speedrun Contest servers. Actual Contest-Matches (STARTMATCH) cannot be run until the start of the Speedrun Contest on November 12th.

So it's time to retrieve your weapons from storage and head over to the Speedrun Contest servers, where you will be very welcome indeed!

WooF!
