For a given round you may build alone or as part of a duo.

If you play and qualify for the championship as a duo, you will have to participate in the Grand Final as the same duo.

If you qualify for the championship with a solo entry, you are allowed to invite another player to build the championship map as a duo.

If you qualified as a duo, but one half of the duo is unavailable or unwilling to build at this time, the previous rule applies.

Unless states otherwise, your entry must be ≥ 2000 tiles and ≤ 5000 tiles in size, equivalent to 40x40 and ~70×70 square tiles.

Anything outside the map that plays a visual feature (eg. a dragon flying, a train animation created via shoestring) will count towards the tile limit. Anything outside the limit that isn't visible, and only contributes to something visible inside, will not count.

You may use any scenery objects you want. Using scenery from the expansions packs, or LL land textures as enabled by OpenRCT is allowed, but may appear differently for different people, so should be used at your own risk.

Your creation must be adhere to the objectives as specified in the rules for the round you participate in. It is at the staff's discretion to reject an entry if your submission is deemed to be not in the spirit of the contest.

There is no lower or upper limit on in how many rounds you can enter. If you win a round after you've already qualified for the championship in an earlier round, the runner-up will qualify instead.

To allow everyone the same amount of time to build, recycling previously built material is not allowed, unless it's something as small as a partial layout, some loose building techniques or just half baked ideas.

Please submit your entry via a Private Message either on New Element or on Discord, including all Admins as recipients.

Please include any additional content such as logos or plugins with the initial zip download.

Custom music, if it is to be included via .PARKOBJ, is considered map content, and must therefore be part of the .PARK before the deadline. Any music that is not direct map content, and merely intended to be played in the background while viewing the park, for example links to online music sources, or included audio files like MP3 are considered extra materials.

The maximum file size of submissions (including extra materials) cannot exceed 30 MB. If a submission exceeds this size, the admins may sometimes try to help you bring it down, for example by improving image compression in attached PDFs, or by enhancing audio compression or shortening custom music in PARKOBJ. In this latter case, only the admins are allowed to re-export the .PARK file with the edited music.
