Cup of the Week

Cup of the Week is a weekly competition in the Knockout gamemode that takes place on Blue, Red and Black tracks of the current seasonal campaign every Saturday at 16:00 UTC.

Overview

To participate, you need to connect to the online room before it starts. Qualification is the same as for Cup of the Day: you have ten minutes to complete the map initially, and an additional five minutes to improve your time. Your best time in the Qualification phase determines your Qualification rank and you will be placed in a 64 player division of people who drove a similar time to you.

Knockout phase

After Qualification, you will be automatically connected to your division’s match server. Once all players in your division are ready (or the warmup timer expires, whichever comes first), the Knockout match will start. Players all start a round at the same time and the players either finishing in the last positions or not finishing at all will be knocked out. The first round of each Knockout match is a warm-up round and nobody will face elimination. The last player to remain after all other players have been knocked out will be crowned the winner of their division.

The Knockout format on Blue and Red tracks is the same as in Cup of the Day.
