There seems to be a theme here lately with these events, as once again we had a near carbon copy of a previous show. The big surprise from the first part of the show was newcomer Josh Kingma getting TQ as most of the field found out how difficult this course was, as the KOTH and NAMT officials created what was easily one of the wildest courses ever seen in the history of this deal. One running theme we saw in qualifying was people getting thrown off course or getting time penalties, and it's a reoccurring theme we'll see again later on. Then came wheelies and this is where the snowball started rolling, as the man who was second quick in qualifying Vincent Akard took home the wheelie win with 2 extremely impressive hits. Another KOTH rookie Adrian Cooper actually held the lead before Akard made his hits, and shoutouts to Josh Kingma and Will Meyer for also laying down impressive runs. Then it was time for racing and Akard showed his qualifying time was no fluke, easily taking out Joshua De Luna in R1. Kingma and Meyer also easily took care of their first round opponents respectively to move onto the semis, but the last race of the round is where things went different. 6th fastest qualifier Damian Bowers finally started figuring out his truck and took down the 3rd fastest racer Adrian Cooper, and made it look rather easy. Next was the semi-finals and we nearly had 2 upsets, the one that did happen was Will Meyer taking out number 1 qualifier Josh Kingma; it was a close race until the final turn when Kingma washed out coming out of the underpass and hit a turning pole. The race after nearly saw a similar fate befall Akard, because Bowers had him covered for most of the race after cutting the best light of the night. But a bad bounce before the crossover jump led to him landing off to the side and unable to avoid hitting a turning pole, which then handed the win to Akard. The finals would give us the closest race of the night as both Akard and Meyer laid down incredible passes, neither made a mistake and it came down to the final stretch; Meyer made a hard charge but Akard got the truck back up to speed quick enough to hold him off. Last thing to take care of was freestyle and everybody that ran was on their game. Alex Ferrulo was first out and set the mark to beat, putting his truck through it's paces which included a full forward roll; he was given a score of 22 and definitely gave a good accounting of himself. Zach ThreeSeven was supposed to be 2nd out but mechanical problems prevented him from running, so we moved onto Damian Bowers and he gave one of the best freestyle performances of his KOTH career. Per usual his run was on the ragged edge from the get go, and he really flogged on it the entire time. The end of his run saw him attempt a front flip but unfortunately he was unable to land it, though he did somehow end up back on his tires. He emerged from his truck without any issues and waved to the fans, getting a score of 24 and taking over the lead. Joshua De Luna was next out and really had an amazing run going before a bad bounce ended his run early, but the crowd for sure took notice of him and what he could do. Then came veteran racer Will Meyer and he put on a show with big air, technical moves, and wow factor; the only thing his run lacked was momentum. But the judges felt it was good enough to take the lead by a half point. Josh Kingma and Adrain Cooper both gave it their best shot, but neither could kick Meyer out of the hot seat. Kingma's run started off well enough, but yet again this crazy course claimed another victim. Cooper managed to put forth a full pull run, but just didn't quite match Meyer in the technicality department. So it all came down to the final run of the night, and that belonged to Vincent Akard. To say he sent the show out with a bang would be an understatement, as he put that truck through it's paces laying down an incredible freestyle run. Anything you can think of doing he did, and from beginning to end his run was a master class display. After all was said done, he walked away with a score of 28 (the highest recorded score of the entire mini-series) and took home the win. Then of course came the last business that needed to be taken care of, tallying up the points to see who moved on. While it was closer than last week, the winner was never in doubt. Vincent Akard walked away with the overall win and it comes as no surprise, being 2nd fastest in qualifying and winning everything else. Taking 2nd place was Will Meyer, and what helped him out was runner up finishes in both racing and freestyle and 4th place finishes in qualifying and wheelies. We wanna thank everyone who came out to watch and compete tonight on the beaches of Barcelona, it's been a blast these last 4 weeks and it's all come down to this; the finale of the first ever International Incident. As always the full results will be posted below, and the finale track will be unveiled when the thread is posted. Until then, stay safe and keep the shiny side up! Qualifying: 1.

Alright, we have our 8 drivers. From here on out, any signup will be considered for fill ins.

"For those that make it through the gates, what awaits is a utopia beyond the wildest dreams of any man, woman, or child. Paradise incarnate, every want and desire at your beck and call. But this kingdom and all of it's opulence is only available to the strongest of the strong, the bravest of the brave, the sole survivor, the last warrior standing." Event 3 of this series was almost a carbon copy of event 1, the top 2 dominated most of the night with the lone exception of freestyle, where the winner was unexpected and picked up their first SM sanctioned victory. Tyler Richmond showed once again that he's a force to be reckoned with, and Chadwick Deerfoot proved he still has the ability to run with the new generation, as both punched their tickets to the finale. Now from the land of the royals we head to the home of sangria, the siesta, and a serious love of soccer (or futbol as it's referred), the land of the setting sun known as Spain! While the people here are known for relaxing hard and partying harder, when it comes to sports they are extremely passionate and that includes motorsports. Some of the most famous futbol stadiums in the country have hosted these massive machines before, and regularly draw big crowds, but it's safe to say they've never seen anything like what KOTH and NAMT are bringing. Spain is known for the countless beautiful beaches that make up most of it's perimeter, and we figured there was no better type of area to unleash our monsters and their tamers on. Specifically, we're setting up on one of the most popular beaches in the capitol city of Catalonia; Nova Icaria Beach in Barcelona. This area is a prime destination for staycationers and tourists alike, and we believe the folks here are in for a treat; beach shows are quite normal in the states, and we think they'll be a huge hit here too. With the Balearic Sea as the backdrop, who will ride the waves of success and punch their ticket to the Incident Finale? There's only 1 way to find out! Signups will open Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021 at 8pm eastern. Event will take place Friday, March 5th, 2021; driver's meeting will begin at 8:00pm eastern with action kicking off around 8:30.

If there was 1 word to describe the happenings during event 3 here in Guildford it would be domination, but as usual with KOTH there were still some surprises. The guy who was just on another level tonight was Tyler Richmond, and he put everyone on notice when he was the only person to run a sub 30 second pass in qualifying with a 29.9. The only other person that got close was one of the old guard who decided to try his luck against the new blood, and that is KOTH's Head Official Chadwick Deerfoot. His time of 30.2 set up the possibility that it could be a top 2 showdown in the finals, as he and Richmond were faster than the rest of the field by at least 2 tenths. Then came wheelies and to say the drama picked up immensely would be an understatement, as the driver's quickly found out the track was a lot trickier than they first thought. Most of field had problems getting wheelies going or landing them, partly because of the odd shaped cars and with the transitions from asphalt to dirt. That being said, what happened at the end of the comp surprised everyone as we ended up with a 3 way tie between Richmond, Deerfoot, and Max Halpert. All 3 of them laid down truly impressive wheelie runs and each of them brought something different to the table, and the main judges simply couldn't decide which was best; so the special tie breaker judge was brought in and he awarded the win to Richmond, 2nd place to Deerfoot, and 3rd to Halpert. Next was racing and this is where things started to get a little weird, but only on one side of the bracket. Richmond, who was the odds on favorite coming into this event, took care of business and made his way into the semis without much hassle, as did 4th fastest qualifier Josh Gajewski. On the opposite side of the bracket though, things got very interesting as we saw 2 upsets. 1st off the guy who people thought might give Richmond a run for his money was unable to even try, as Deerfoot made a costly mistake in his 1st round race against fellow veteran Magnus Birkelund, losing to him by a tire. Same thing applied to the other race, as 3rd fastest qualifier Tyler May had his own struggles and lost to Marty Hussey. Then came the semis and once again Richmond was on a rail, dispatching of Gajewski and placing himself into the final. On the other side was the battle of the buses as Hussey went head to head with Birkelund and pulled out a narrow win in a race that the was definitely a hit with all the kids in the crowd. Then came the finals and all the credit in the world goes to Marty as he was pushing hard to pull of the upset, but the truck took a bad bounce halfway through the race and handed the victory over Richmond. Onto freestyle we go and the question on everybody's mind was could Richmond pull of the clean sweep, but everyone would have to wait to see as he was last in the order; however, no one could've foreseen what ended up happening. First up was the racing runner up Marty Hussey and unfortunately his freestyle run mimicked his wheelie run, started off well but ended in disaster as he rolled over early with his front end coming to rest on the wall. The truck was mechanically fine but as stated to the drivers before the show, landing on the wall or making significant contact with it would result in the run being called done. With that, his run was done and resulted in a score of 14. Next up was Cora Solera, one of the newer drivers on the SM scene and to say she wowed the crowd was an understatement. Big air, wheelies, saves and recoveries, wild off camber hits, her run had everything including pulling off one of the toughest moves in the sport; the consecutive rebound backflip, made famous by George Balhan. It was an absolute barn burner of a run and rocketed her into the lead with a 25, and it's safe to say the rest of field was put on notice. Next up was Tyler May and he fared a bit better than Marty, filling most of the clock and giving a good accounting of himself; but it wasn't enough to take the lead, coming up 3 points short. Next was Magnus Birkelund and his run got off to a good start, but similar to his fellow bus driver Marty his run ended a bit early. He had some good hits and made it further into his allotted time, but not close enough to filling the clock which resulted in a score of 19.5. Now we headed into the second half of the field and first out was Josh Gajewski, and per the usual he started out fast, wasting no time attacking the course. But this track once again proved it was not to be taken lightly, as his run came to and end while attempting a backflip. It came up a bit short and bounced into a second rotation, but that second rotation also came up short and officials shut him off after they noticed that both front shock towers sustained heavy damage. He emerged from the truck unhurt but disappointed, as he only managed a score of 17.5. Next out was Max Halpert and he was out to make a statement, coming out with high energy and keeping that energy up throughout the run. The momentum he had going from hit to hit was a sight to see, and showed just how good he's gotten in a short time. As good as the run was it just wasn't enough to top what Cora did, but he did jump into second place with a score of 23.5; he is one guy to keep your eye on for sure because he will be a threat for years to come. Next in line was the old man himself, Chadwick Deerfoot, and everyone knew that he was gonna throw down after the early exit in racing; and throw down he did. From start to finish he once again showed why he's been given the nicknames of "The King of Technicality" and "The Technical Mastermind", hitting wheelies of all varieties, crossthreading obstacles from weird angles, and even hitting one of the better backflips of the night. He went to put the ultimate punctuation mark on his run by being the only driver to attempt a corkscrew, but the dirt at the bottom of the ramp gave way and led to the hit being more of a pirouette skywheelie. He was unable to land on all fours, but the flip came as time expired so it didn't hurt his score too much; had he landed that cork though, he might've taken the lead. As it is though, he tied Halpert with 23.5 and received a great round of applause from the UK fans. But then came the moment everybody was waiting for, could Tyler Richmond make history and join the very short list of drivers who swept an entire KOTH event? Well we can certainly say he absolutely gave it his best shot, from beginning to end he did everything possible to take the win away from Cora. Big air, wheelies, stoppies, backflip to moonwalk, he really was pushing to get that full event sweep. As his run came to an end he parked towards the middle of the floor and awaited the judges scores, and as they came in the realization set in that he had gotten as close as you possibly could to making history; a 24.5, by half a point Cora Solera held on to win. The one thing that Cora had over Richmond was the wow factor, as across the rest of the board they were even per the judges. It was an amazing end to a wild night of KOTH competition, but of course there was one other thing that needed to be done. It was time to count up the points to see who moved on to the finale, and this time it wasn't anywhere near as close as the first 2 events. Tyler Richmond won the overall event title pretty handily (7 point gap over 2nd) seeing as how he nearly swept everything, and despite the poor showing in racing 2nd place went to Chadwick Deerfoot as his runner up finishes in qualifying and wheelies and 3rd place finish in freestyle gave him a 6 point buffer over Max Halpert. Once again we wanna thank everyone who came out to watch and compete tonight, it was an amazing show and I think it's safe to say this won't be the last you'll see of KOTH here in the UK; full results will be posted below as always. Next week we will figure out who will take the last 2 spots as we move on to the final qualifier event of this mini series, and this time we will travel to one of the most popular beach communities in all of Europe. Until then, stay safe and keep the shiny side up! Qualifying: 1. Tyler Richmond - Big Red: 29.9325 2. Chadwick Deerfoot - S.W.A.T.: 30.2912 3. Tyler May - No Label 44: 30.4153 4.

Safe to say this event was thrilling from beginning to end for the folks in Sapporo, with an outcome that most didn't expect with how the night started. Qualifying started the night off with a bang as Amos, Tyrrell, and Michalesko took the top 3 spots respectively, but surprisingly Danny Mackey (number 2 all time in wins on SM) clocked in 6th and seemed off the pace. However, some will claim it was just a tactic to throw everybody else off their game with what happened later on, but we'll get to that momentarily... After qualifying wrapped up, we jumped right into the wheelie contest and the cream of the crop rose to the top with Michalesko taking the victory with 2 glorious hits that had the crowd on their feet. Mackey, Amos, and Tyrrell also threw down but they just couldn't quite best what Michalesko did, but the crowd showed them their appreciation nonetheless. Then came racing, and this is where some accusations of sand bagging were thrown around. This was due to the fact that Danny Mackey proceeded to come out and run 3 tenths faster than the TQ time Amos ran and thoroughly beat the 3rd fastest qualifier Trevor Michalesko who in fairness had problems during the race. He then took out 2nd fastest qualifier Matthew Tyrrell running another pass that was faster that TQ time, and then beat TQ Trevor Amos in the finals again running quicker than TQ time. Needless to say things got a bit heated in the pits for a bit, but cooler heads prevailed and we moved on to freestyle which did not turn out how anyone expected. Going into freestyle Amos and Mackey were sitting in the driver's seat as far as the transfer positions were concerned, but that would change drastically before freestyle ended. The first 4 trucks out all did the best they could on one of the toughest freestyle courses ever built, but the standout run through that point was from Jackson Meszaros. No one knew what to expect from him, but he wowed the crowd from start to finish and earned the lead at that point with a 24. The second half of freestyle is what would determine who moved on to the finale and who missed the cut, as no one was locked in yet. Matthew Tyrrell was the 5th man out and he had a puncher's chance to make his way into the finale, and he knew he had to best Meszaros run to keep his hopes alive; if not, he would have to hope that the other 3 messed up. He went big early and often but it came back to bite him on a risky transfer attempt, the end result being a gnarly wreck that made the crowd collectively gasp; he was alright, but hope would be all he could rely on as he fell short of the lead by 4 points. Next up was Trevor Amos and he knew exactly what he needed to do to make it through, just better Meszaros score and wait to see what happened with the other 2; he controlled his own destiny and control it he did. Throwing down arguably the best freestyle run so far in this mini series, he gave everyone a performance they won't soon forget and took over the lead by 2 points. Next up was racing winner Danny Mackey and he too controlled his destiny, at minimum he had to best Meszaros and force Michalesko to beat him. He wanted the double down and crown as overall event winner and hit the track with reckless abandon. But once again this wild course reached up and bit another driver as he suffered a violent wreck hitting off of the side of the fountain pond. The entire left front was destroyed on impact, and said impact sent him on over into a violent barrel roll flip. The crowd waited with baited breath until he emerged from the truck, a little dizzy but otherwise unscathed. But his chances of making the finale were for all intents and purposes gone with the wind as he posted the lowest score of the night with a 17. It all came down to Trevor Michalesko and he had the longest odds of the final 4 to make it in, which is crazy to think after he qualified 3rd and won wheelies. What hurt him was the 1st round exit in racing, something that based off of qualifying was not expected to say the least. Coming into freestyle he knew he would need some help to stand a chance, and as fate would have it he got the help he needed with the misfortune of Tyrrell and Mackey. The mission now was simple, do better than them and he would be in. He learned from their mistakes and kept it under control, but still put on a heck of a show filling the clock in the process. After the run was done the scores came in and he had pulled off the improbable comeback, a 24.5 to finish in 2nd place and claim the 2nd and final transfer spot. This also meant that Trevor Amos took home the freestyle win and the overall event championship, capping off a stellar night for one of the current stand out performers. The joy of victory and the agony of defeat, all on full display in front of an amazing crowd in beatiful northern Japan. This event had everything you could ever want, and it's safe to say the folks here in Sapporo will remember this night for years to come. We wanna thank everyone who came out to compete tonight, the reception and support we've had for this mini series has been awesome to see. Full results will be posted below, and we hope to see you next week as we head to the home of the crumpet, Cricket, and the Crown Jewels. Until then, stay safe and keep the shiny side up!

Alrighty folks, we have our 8 competitors for this one. Right now the subs in order are: Marty Max Cora

Chadwick Deerfoot CMDeerfoot#5139 Dallas, Georgia

"Even still, for all those willing to make that sacrifice, it still may not be enough to gain entry into the kingdom. The gates to this mythical place rarely open, and when they do it is only for those who have shown themselves to be truly worthy of the crown and everything that claiming it entails." Event 2 in this mini series definitely shook things up a bit more than event 1 did, as the competition was a little more wide open to anyone in the field possibly coming away with the wins. But at the end of night the current state of the game once again held strong, as this time it was the Trevor & Trevor show with Amos and Michalesko walking away with the next 2 qualifier spots. Now from the land of the rising sun we head to the home of Big Ben, The Beatles, and Buckingham Palace, the ever intriguing United Kingdom! The next 8 superstars of NAMT will go to war inside the infamous Clarkson International Autodrome, a facility built in honor of the most well known main presenter of the original Top Gear tv program, that being the always opinionated and quick witted Jeremy Clarkson. The Top Gear test track was the site of so many feats of driving skill over the years, and this newest addition to the property is sure to expand on that history. Now the man who this place is named after is known for his love of "SPEED AND POWAH", and KOTH is sure to give him and everybody else that and so much more as 2 more spots in the finale are on the line! Signups will open Wednesday, February 24th, 2021 at 8pm eastern. Event will take place Friday, February 26th, 2021; driver's meeting will begin at 8:00pm eastern with action kicking off around 8:30.

Alright, we have our 8 competitors for this Friday; any signup from here on will be for fill in spots.

"But the hunt for this power comes with great risk, as evidenced by the many who have fallen by the wayside. The sacrifice needed will be too much for some, but for others it will be worth all the pain and heartache." Event 1 of this mini series showed that for the time being the status quo is still very much intact, as 2 of the most dominant drivers on SM today claimed the first 2 spots in the Incident Finale; that being Brandon Adam in No Limit and Blake Thompson in Outrage. It's now time to see who will join them, and to figure that out we're heading to the picturesque mountainous region of northern Japan known as Hokkaido. It's capital city of Sapporo is no stranger to hosting high level competitions, as it was the host of the 1972 Winter Olympics. But it's never seen anything like what KOTH is gonna bring, as 8 more NAMT superstars are ready to bring the heat in the newly constructed Mt. Moiwa Coliseum. Who will rise up and join Brandon and Blake in the quest for the crown, and who will be left out in the cold? There's only one way to find out! Signups will open Wednesday, February 17th, 2021 at 8pm eastern. Event will take place Friday, February 19th, 2021; driver's meeting will begin at 8:00pm eastern with action kicking off around 8:30.

Teaser for event 1 of the International Incident.

Love all of the retro repli-customs you've been making lately, really unique ideas on what these trucks would look like modern day; keep up the good work.

The first event in the International Incident mini series had all the makings of being a barn burner, and safe to say it didn't disappoint. The fans in Guadalajara were treated to the very best in monster truck competition throughout the night, with some of the new blood announcing their presence to the entire SM community, veterans showing they still have some left in the tank, a new dominant force showing it wasn't a fluke, and someone getting the breakthrough win they've been scratching and clawing for over many years. Qualifying showed that the 3 people who everyone thought would be a threat were exactly that, as newly crowned NAMT Triple Crown and RoRMJL S4 Stadium Tour Blue Series Champ Brandon Adam, all times wins leader Mark Colineri, and RoRMJL S4 Stadium Tour Red Series and WF4 Racing Champ Blake Thompson took the top 3 spots with newcomer Logan Jones (in his first SM event ever) rounding out the top 4. This continued as we went into the wheelie contest, as those 3 took the top 3 spots (with Blake picking up the win) and gave everyone a small preview of what was to come later on in freestyle. It was all chalk in racing as the top 4 made it through round 1, and round 2 saw the 2 dominant forces in MJL move onto the final as Adam beat Jones and Thompson beat Colineri after a rare mistake by the guy many consider to be the g.o.a.t. In the finals at first it seemed like Thompson had bested Adam, but upon review he crossed over the middle line and was accessed a 5 second penalty which handed the win over Adam. Then came freestyle and it's safe to say the crowd went home happy, everyone gave it their best but some got tripped up by the wild obstacles. The 3 guys who had been dominating the night all laid down incredible runs, but it just wasn't enough to topple the man who went out first. The hometown boy Edy Beltran opened up the freestyle session with what turned out to be the best run of his career, it checked all of the boxes for the judges and carried him to his first ever SM sanctioned win by half a point; and it doesn't get much better than having your first win be in KOTH. Then came the most important part of the night, tallying up the points to see who would get the 2 invites to the finale. After all the counting was completed it was close as you could possibly get, as Brandon Adam takes home KOTH by 1 point over Blake Thompson. Those 2 will move on to the finale and now await the results of the other 3 shows to see who they will battle for the King Of The Incident crown. Everyone at KOTH and NAMT would like to thank those who came out to compete, it was a fun and relaxing night that provided a lot of entertainment for all involved. The full results will be posted below, and we hope to see another good turn out at the next event which takes place in the land of the rising sun. Until then, stay safe everybody and keep the shiny side up! Qualifying: 1. Brandon Adam - No Limit: 35.5832 2. Mark Colineri - Eclipse: 36.5308 3. Blake Thompson - Outrage: 37.9623 4.

Alright, we have our 8 competitors. All signups from here on out will be as fill ins in case one of the people above can't make it.

"Warriors from across the land have heard the call, voices on high traversing the globe upon the trade winds. It draws them in like a moth to flame, or a sailor being seduced by the song of the sirens. It beckons them to chase after something they thought was unattainable, a power and glory that many dream of but few will ever experience." The moment has finally arrived, it's time for the next king to be crowned. Step one on this intercontinental journey with the superstars of NAMT takes us to the newly built Aztec Oasis Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico, a facility that was originally being built to be a water park resort is now one of the wildest sporting venues anywhere in the world. To match this uniqueness, the KOTH track officials have created one of the craziest courses ever devised in the history of this series. There's no doubt these 8 monsters will be pushed to the ragged edge in each part of the competition, especially with 2 invites to the finale on the line. With all of that out of the way, here are the specific details y'all need to know. Signups will open Wednesday, February 10th, 2021 at 8pm eastern. Event will take place Friday, February 12th, 2021; driver's meeting will begin at 8:00pm eastern with action kicking off around 8:30. Here is the template to use for your signup: Name: Discord Username: Hometown: We will be using the Special Events section of the NEW official Sim-Monsters Discord server for this event, invites will will be sent out once the field is confirmed.

Now, onto the field of trucks: Poison - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3503-namt-open-customs-pack/ Outrage - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3545-shockwave-and-outrage-namt/ Big Delivery - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3503-namt-open-customs-pack/ Udder Madness - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3503-namt-open-customs-pack/ Pure Muscle - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3503-namt-open-customs-pack/ Eclipse - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3503-namt-open-customs-pack/ El Chupacabra - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3503-namt-open-customs-pack/ No Limit - https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3503-namt-open-customs-pack/ I'm really looking forward to seeing how this mini series turns out, now we just have to wait and see who will be the first 8 to step up to the challenge! "We're gonna need more than diplomatic immunity to get out of this one..."

We did say we was gonna run more KOTH events didn't we? Been a little over a year since we first started The Reclamation tour, and there were supposed to be more events run prior to now. But things just didn't work out that way, and we apologize to everyone who have been waiting patiently to take part in one of the most storied competitions in the history of SM. So, to continue on with The Reclamation, we decided to do something that hasn't been done in KOTH in many years; a full on mini series! We'd like to present to everyone KOTH: The Reclamation - International Incident, a 5 event mini series that will travel around the world visiting various locals that all have history with these massive machines. Each stop will feature tracks that are sure to test the abilities of even the most seasoned competitor, and none of these courses will even remotely be the same in any fashion. We're also proud to announce that we've teamed up with NAMT to bring the best of best from that league to these events to show what the future holds for these monsters. Now, without further ado, let's get into the specifics for this dealio: 1. Each event will feature 8 NAMT 2020 trucks going head to head in wheelies, racing (with qualifying to set the bracket), and freestyle. These trucks are setup up to be as close as possible to their real life counterparts, and share the same gearing, grip, and power. Making any changes to the trucks in any form is strictly prohibited, and if you've been found to have done so you will be kicked from the event and indefinitely suspended from competing in KOTH events. Also note you will not be picking your truck, your truck will be assigned to you at random during the driver's meeting; truck lineups will be revealed when the threads are posted. 2. Events will be held on Fridays (specific dates will be noted below) at 8pm eastern. Signups are first come first serve and will take place in the thread for each event, and each specific thread will open on the Wednesday the week of. Once all the spots are filled any signup that is posted after will be counted as a fill in candidate, and in the event that one of the people that claim a spot can't make it we will go through the fill ins to replace them; and note you may only compete once in this mini series unless you qualify for the finale. 3. Per the norm, each KOTH event is a "one night championship" where competitors will earn points based off where they finish in each event. At the end of the night, the person with the highest cumulative point total will be crowned King Of The Hill. 4. There will be specific rules for each event, but the basic details will be the same for all: A. A qualifying session will be held at the start of the event to determine the racing bracket, said racing bracket will be single elimination and races will be timed for lane choice. One tiring a ramp will result in a 5 second penalty, missing a ramp entirely or running the course wrong will result in a DQ. B. Wheelie comps will take place after qualifying and will consist of 2 hits on designated obstacles, and only wheelies will be judged; performing any other "2 wheels skill" move will result in a DQ and 0 points. C. Freestyle runs will be 2 minutes long and runs are to be realistic, anything deemed otherwise will result in an RII and possibly the end of your run. 5. Now as you can see in the event poster, there are only 4 locations shown and there's a very good reason for that. This time around, there will be an added emphasis with the points as the top 2 at the end of those 4 events will earn invitations to the finale; said finale track will be revealed the week of the event. Whomever wins that finale will not only be crowned as the first ever King Of The Incident, but will also be credited with a Sim Monsters Special Event win! Now, here are the dates and locations for all 5 events: 1. Guadalajara, Mexico - Aztec Oasis Stadium - 2/12/21 https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3430-koth-aztec/ 2. Sapporo, Japan - Mt. Moiwa Coliseum - 2/19/21 https://sim-monsters.com/files/file/3462-koth-japan/ 3.

Barcelona, Spain - Nova Icaria Beach - 3/5/21 https://www.mediafire.com/file/dm2qp7eorluzxh4/BarcelonaMOX.zip/file 5. Finale: TBA - 3/12/21 Who will rise up and claim the throne?
