Welcome to the
Monthly Track Contest (MTC) for
May 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!
When's the last time you considered how much your map cost? Sure, every map here might be free in terms of cash, but don't forget that each one has a performance cost to play! Some particularly fancy maps might be too much for some players to run. So, this month, let's cut some corners and try to get as much out of our map without racking up the display cost.
Theme: Budget Build
- Build a map with a display cost of 2,000 or less
- You will receive a 1% reduction on your final score for every 10 points above a display cost of 2,000 (a display cost of 2,001-2,010 gets a 1% score reduction, a display cost of 2,011-2,020 gets a 2% score reduction, etc.)
- You will receive a 10% bonus to your final score for every 500 points below a display cost of 2,000
- You can find the display cost in the upper left of the editor, under your username. It's also displayed under the thumbnail on the map details screen when you save the map
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: "MTC - Out of Stock" or "(mtc) not so great depression "
- 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

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

- Submissions may be freely updated within the submission period
- The earliest deadline for submissions is the end of June 3rd. Submissions will continue to be accepted until I officially announce closure in this thread
- 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

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