Due to a number of reasons, I've decided to stop hosting the MTC. As I have not been able to find a replacement, the MTC will be on hold indefinitely. There's more to say than I can put into a post, so I made a video detailing everything. You can find it here.

Now that we're past it, April Fools! Did I scare any of you?

Welcome to the Monthly Track Contest (MTC) for April 2024!
The MTC is a track building contest hosted by TrackmaniaExchange which challenges you to build a map with a specific theme. Later, all the tracks are rated and a winner is found.
There are no prerequisites or qualification requirements to enter; just read the theme below, hop in your editor, and submit a track before the deadline!

Let's extend the spirit of April Fool's Day throughout the month!

Theme: Fools of April

• Make a funny map
  
• LOLs, trolls, anything goes! Just try to make players laugh!

General Rules

• One entry is allowed per user. Multi-author maps count as the single entry for all authors involved
  
• "MTC" must be present in the track name as it appears on TMX. Example: "interruMTCption" or "I'm with Stupid --> mtc"
  
• All entries must be built using the latest version of the game
  
• All entries must be built specifically for this MTC
  
• Blockmixing, Offgrid mapping, and Embedded Items are allowed
  
• Texture mods are allowed
  
• Royal tracks are not allowed

If you have any questions or would like to contest a rule, feel free to ask!

Submitting and Deadline

• Submit your course to the MTC mappack before the deadline below
  
• Submissions may be freely updated within the submission period
  
• The earliest deadline for submissions is the end of May 1st. Submissions will continue to be accepted until I officially announce closure in this thread, which will likely occur the following EST morning
  
• Everyone will have 24 hours after submissions close to make any last minute edits to their submissions
  
• After this, you may not make any more updates until after the results are published

Prizes

• Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that. I wasn't around then, but maybe some of you still remember him? )
  
• The winning track will be featured on the TrackmaniaExchange front page!

Judging

• For judging, we will be using a public voting system
  
• A server will be opened for about a week that anyone can play the MTC maps on
  
• Anyone can vote by using the server's karma system
  
• More details on this will be provided in this thread once voting opens

Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread or in Discord! Now then, get to building!

Submissions are now closed! You've got 24 hours from this post for any last minute edits, after which voting will begin.

The king of the court has called all the jesters forward. They shall each deliver their best joke, and the court shall deliver judgement upon them. That's right, it's voting time! We've got 5 silly maps to try out this time.

Here's how to vote:

• Go to the "MTC" room found in the TM Exchange club
  
• When you're on a map, send one of these vote messages into chat to vote:
  • -- = 1 point (bad)
    
  • - = 2 points
    
  • +- = 3 points
    
  • + = 4 points
    
  • ++ = 5 points (good)
• If you need to change your vote on a map, just send your new vote in chat. Only the most recent vote on each map is recorded
  
• The map with the highest average rating wins!
  
• Everyone can vote! If you made a map, your vote on your own map WILL be counted (feel free to give it a ++ !)
  
• You do not need to finish a map to vote on it, but please give it your best effort!
  
• You must vote on at least half of the maps for your votes to count
  
• If you liked a map, please leave it an award
  
• If you have any feedback, please leave a comment on the map's page
  
• The jukebox and voting are enabled, so feel free to request, extend, and skip maps

The voting period will last for at least one week, after which I will tally all the votes and our final results will be posted!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, start driving and get voting!

Everyone had different ideas of how to go about this month's Theme, which I thought was super cool.

Congratulations to our winners!

Here's the link to the full results sheet.

Thanks to all the builders and voters who participated in the contest!

There's still time to submit for the May MTC. Since it's all about low display costs, it might not be too hard to get a good map put together quickly. If you want an MTC with more time, keep an eye out for the June MTC; it might just be starting sooner than you expect.

Thanks again, and see you next time!
