Time Trial:
Everyone (probably 2 groups) plays one try on a track and it is recorded, then the next track, and next and so on. After X number of tracks a total time is generated with points for everyone to count towards the overall score at end of the tournament. The Top 16 will advance to the next round, for some more one tries and another total to eliminate down to 8, then some more to eliminate more. Eventually it is 4 left. The 2 losers in that round will play for 3rd place, the two winners will be in final for one try (Gold ro Silver Medal).
Match Race:
Split into 2 groups cos of large number. Everyone plays everyone on 4 tracks which are decided and given to everyone before each match with a person. There can be a win / loss/ or draw (4-0, 3-1, 1-3, 0-4, 2-2), and points are assigned for all the matches. Top 16 advance to next round. The higher you are you face the slower player in the next group. So basically 8 from each group go through. 1st plays 8th from the other group, 2nd plays 7th, etc. That round is first to 5 on given tracks. Then there will be quarter final with 8 left, first to 7 wins. Semi-Final is first to 9; losers there play in 3rd place match first to 9, and the finalists first to 11.
Battle Mode:
Exactly same format as match race, except you just do the 4 battle mode courses for the early groups round, as opposed to 4 given match races. (This mode sucks btw
)
GP150cc:
Karters split into 2 groups again, and i believe everyone does 1 GP, wth point scores recorded. And again the top 16 selected to the bracket round, like match race and battle.
Do note that, even though if you dont make the top 16 in some modes, you are still reaching points which add to your overall score. But if you do reach the later rounds there is more bonus points also to help.
You will do really well man (try to bring more Brazilians also); just watch out for Harold's Skank Tactiques... and other things...
