BATTLE OF THE BUILDERS
Rules & Information
The Battle of the Builders is a knock-out style tournament consisting of multiple rounds in which the participants will directly battle each other. The loser from each match-up will be eliminated from the tournament and the winner will advance to the next round where they will be challenged by a new player. The last player standing will be crowned champion.
In every match-up the players are given a randomly selected ride and theme or modifier they have to work with. The Parkitect community or jury decides who wins each match-up through voting.
Competition setup
In this competition players battle each other 1 v 1 to build the best diorama within the given plot. In each round the players have to build a diorama within the plot in a certain amount of time.
At the start of each round the following is determined:
The ride or shop the player has to build
The theme the player has to build
Extra rules and modifiers the player has to follow
After each round, members and experts of the official Parkitect community can vote for their favorite map. The player with the most votes will go through to the next round and battle a new player until only one winner is left.
Sign-Up
Players can enter using the form provided on the Parkitect Depot website. After the deadline for entering has passed, all players will be entered into a qualification round or into group stages for the first round. After this stage, players will be drawn into a player vs player knockout tree style competition.
Competition Rules
Objective
At the start of each round in the competition each player will receive a plot plot (see example on the right) where they will have to build a small diorama. The goal is to build the best diorama within the rules of that round. Builds are ranked by the community members and a set of expert players. The experts will score all builds based on creativity, skills, execution and the ride / shop as a concept.
