Hey everyone!

We're pushing a new update to improve your player experience on both Cup of the Day and the matchmaking with the following changes:


Cup of the Day

Since the beginning of the Cup, we have noticed that some players could be placed in a division way lower than what they should have been due to joining the qualification a bit late and not being able to drive a time that would meet their skill level. That behavior usually results in having few players being way faster than the others and impacting the quality of the cup. We decided to reduce the amount of time to drive your first time on the map to 10 minutes (15 minutes before the change), you will still have 15 minutes to improve that time. If you fail to drive a time during the first 10 minutes, your qualification time won't be effective.

+ Removed register button, only a time is required
+ Removed hidden state of settings of KO mode: S_EliminatedPlayersNbRanks and S_RoundsWithoutElimination
