Hey folks,

I think the some of you know us, but for the people who don’t we’ll give you a little description about SF.
SF was founded almost 6 years ago and started as a little noob clan. Now we are one of the largest clans in Tmnf with a great team and many known builders .
So after 6 years its about time we made ourself a little competition.

The contest.

There are 2 competitions.
Trackbuilding and graphics. Scroll down for the graphics part.

Trackbuilding :
It’s pretty simple. You built a FS track which is dedicated to SF. You have to upload the track on Tmx and post a link at our forum ( http://www.speedfreakz.eu ). You have to put [SF] in front of track. So for example: [SF]speedtrack.

Rules :
- The track has to be Fullspeed
- Blockmix is allowed, but don’t overdo it.
- Duo tracks are allowed, but the prize is shared.
- Ingame the track needs the tag $f00[SF] and on TMX [SF]
- You must use the SF signs several times in your track on a spot where you can see them. You can use either the already existing signs or the signs made in the sign competition.
- Track must be at least 35 seconds long. 40-45 sec is preferred.
- You may only make 2 tracks.

Coppers.
We will give 110.000 coppers away. The 5 best tracks will be awarded with coppers and the SF crew will be the judges.

The 1st gets 35.000 coppers.
The 2nd gets 20.000 coppers.
The 3rd gets 15.000 coppers.
The 4th gets 10.000 coppers
The 5th till 10th gets 5.000 coppers


Signs :
This is the little extra to the competition.
This is for the designers ! We want more SF signs we can use in our tracks. So we will be selecting 10 winning signs witch will each be worth 2.500 coppers !
Total 25.000 coppers !
Example for signs : http://forum.speedfreakz.eu/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=350
Size : 512 x256
These signs can be used by the authors of the trackbuilding competition !
You can make as many signs as you want.
