Introducing the Sky Cup Tournaments

Every week, we will hold an official racing tournament in SimplePlanes. Submit one of your planes, and we will test its design against a plane from another participant. Both will be controlled by AI, and we will run the simulation here at our office. Earn points for each toe-to-toe match you win. Only the winner moves on. In the end there can be only one.

Want to see your plane fly in the Sky Cup? Watch it live as we will stream the video, or catch it later when we upload the entire tournament to YouTube.

Rules

  • Submit your own designs. Predecessors from a design of another player will not be allowed.
  • You can only submit one plane per tournament. Choose your best.
  • To keep your plane a secret, you may submit an unlisted plane. However, that plane will become visible to the public once the tournament begins.
  • Each tournament will be unique, with its own set of rules. Any violation will result in disqualification.

Rewards

  • The winner of each match will receive a 50 point bonus.
  • Both planes that face off in the final match will receive a 150 point bonus.
  • The Sky Cup winner will be awarded a 500 point bonus.
