Karting for Kids '23 - Charity Mario Kart Tournament

Karting for Kids is back for 2023!

LEARN ABOUT THE EVENT

Extra Life is all about bringing together gamers to support children in need. PlayEX is proud to support the Extra Life initiative. Many of our staff and community partners have been Extra Life participants for years and years!  In the last 5 years, we've raised over $3,000 USD for Children's Miracle Network.

Event is organized through the official PlayEX Discord server.

ENTRY FEE

• $10 USD - you are able to pay more if you'd like and all will be donated to Children's Miracle Network.

EVENT FORMAT

QUALIFIERS

• Friend Room lobbies (enough to evenly divide all players, + Hard CPUs to fill lobbies to 12). Each lobby runs CONSECUTIVELY - lobbies hosted by tournament operator (wired ethernet connection)
• 8 races with normal track selection
• Top 11 overall points (from all qualifier lobbies)  advance to grand finals

GRAND FINALS

• 12 races with normal track selection - tracks may be repicked from qualifiers
• Lobby hosted by tournament operator (wired ethernet connection)
• Top 4 scoring players receive prizes

GENERAL RULES

• 150cc speed setting
• Lobby hosts must have a stable internet connection
• Hard CPUs (in the event of a disconnection, the cpu replacing the player's points will be counted until the player reconnects to the lobby)
• Normal Items
• All vehicles, gliders, and characters allowed
• Smart steering is allowed
• Lobby hosts are responsible for sending scores to tournament operator (a screenshot is fine; include CPU points if needed)
• Track Repicks: repicking a track will result in a 10pt penalty if the repicked track is selected in roulette (if choosing random results in a repick, the penalty is not applied). Manually repicking a track that was selected by choosing random will apply the penalty.

After you register, you'll receive an email with a digital ticket. The ticket contains information for competing in the tournament (Discord server link, timing, etc).
