I hope everyone has been making preparations for this over the last month.
Hokkai Rising is coming soon. As you can see a new banner was promised, so a new banner was delivered. Now I know my schedule for April and part of May, therefore I can put forward dates and information to get this event going.
Important Dates
Registration: April 23rd to April 30th
Easy Mode: May 1st to May 15th
Normal Mode: May 17th to May 31st
Format
This will be a cumulative scoring event, which is part of the reason why each mode is 2 weeks long. There will be no restrictions on which playable characters you use. Part of the goal of this event is to get everyone playing UFO as much as possible. To that end, it will be possible to out-score the competition with repeated runs even if none of them are 1cc's.
Details on submission process coming soon. I have some tricks up my sleeve for this.
Why is each mode 2 weeks long?
UFO isn't the easiest game and the scoring system both lend themselves to having a relatively long event. Players that noticeably improve their scoring/abilities or stay consistent in their play frequency will be rewarded.
