Joker Cup 2025 Round 1

The Joker Cup is a mini tournament that consists of three rounds. Every player that signs up will be randomly assigned to groups of around 4 players. That group is then randomly assigned a ride to build, a theme to build in, and a modifier to make it more interesting! These themes and modifiers are sometimes pretty silly! For example, you could be tasked to build a Car Ride in a North Korea theme, where the vehicles are only allowed to drive in reverse! The maximum map size is 100 tiles, so you should be able to build an entry pretty quickly! Also, these rounds are meant to be a little bit silly and mostly just for fun, so there is no shame in losing!

For this year's edition, there will be three rounds instead of four. Also, in the second round the players will get two modifiers for their map, and in the third round players will get assigned three modifiers!

To join, you must sign up before the tournament starts! Write your name in the Participant List page of this spreadsheet, and ping Deurklink on our Discord server! In the linked spreadsheet you will also find all possible rides, themes and modifiers! You can also find the tournament bracket and deadlines for every round! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V9ln981wg6WhEXPXTHv0KeDasIbebCbibi2hWb3U1fo/edit?usp=sharing

Rule 1: Each player will be randomly assigned to a group of 4 players. The group will receive a random ride, theme and modifier for their round. The 4 players will compete against each other.

Rule 2: At the end of the round, all discord members will rate every entry. Every entry will get 1 rating for the ride, and 1 rating for the overall looks. Votes you make in your own group will not be counted. The best 2 players of each group move to the next round. The voters will decide if you followed the theme and modifiers properly!

Rule 3: The building phase for every round will last approximately 17 days - After that there is a few days of voting, and the result announcement for that round!

Rule 4: For this contest, you are only allowed to use objects from the RCT1 and RCT2 base game and their official expansions, OpenRCT2-official objects, and custom objects that are included in the DKSO v2.5 bench. Custom objects that are not in the DKSO v2.5 bench are not allowed, so make sure you don't use those. You are also allowed to use a custom palette if you want. Some modifiers restrict certain objects from being used, so be sure to double check them!

Rule 5: Maximum map size is 100 tiles - this will be counted by multiplying the size of the two map edges. Black tiles in the map will not be subtracted

Rule 6: You cannot have any other opened rides besides the chosen ride, but they can be closed or in test mode. You are allowed to have opened shops / stalls.

Rule 7: Have fun!
