Hello everyone! We’re getting ready for the fourth FoxTrials event: Elytra Racing!
We'll be soaring through three courses, each with its own obstacles and challenges. Every course is raced twice: once forwards, then again in reverse with power-ups to keep you afloat. The whole event will take about 20 minutes!
HOW TO PLAY?
All players will be automatically placed into the starting grid and given an elytra. Once the countdown finishes the gate opens and you’ll start soaring. Don’t worry; other players won’t be getting in your way. Keep in mind that you'll have no firework rockets. You’ll have to use gravity and power-ups to navigate through the maps before the time runs out.
The goal is to fly through all of the checkpoints in order and reach the finish line as fast as possible.
The higher you rank, the more points you’ll score!
Joining late? No problem! You can always participate using /race join.
Power-ups are marked as blue rings.
POINTS
Make sure to create or join a Guild beforehand; without a Guild your points will not be registered towards the FoxTrials. (/g create, /g join)
Per usual, every participant will earn 50 participation points. On top of this, we’ll be rewarding the fastest map time of the event with 40 extra bonus points. And of course the overall winner of the event will earn an additional 75 bonus points for winning.
Points are divided among players based on their placement per map, as seen in the table below:
| Placement per map | FoxTrials Guild points |
| 1st place | 100 |
| 2nd place | 80 |
| 3rd place | 65 |
| 4th place | 55 |
| 5th place | 45 |
| 6th place | 38 |
| 7th place | 32 |
| 8th place | 27 |
| 9th place | 23 |
