Which independent promotion will outshine the rest? Why don't you help decide! Make sure those belts are tight, because MTM Season 1 is about to TAKEOFF!

SIGN UPS OPEN FEBRUARY 20TH @8:00 EST ON THE SIGNUPS THREAD (subject to change)

KICKOFF SHOW/DRAFT DATE: March 20th LIVE on YOUTUBE @7:30 EST

SEASON BEGINS: Sunday April 4th @7:30 EST. Regular Season Events will always be on Sundays @7:30EST (subject to change)

This league consists of 3 series featuring some of the top independent monster truck promotions all over the United States. We run things a little bit differently here.. We don't stick to the traditional rules of leagues. Many competitors are used to signing up for a league and picking their own truck.. Well we are going to shake things up a little bit for MTM season one. When you sign up, you will be put into a draft list. There are 7 spots available for each series (not including the team captains). There will be a livestreamed kickoff show which will feature the MTM Draft. The team captain representing each series will draft 7 drivers to their series and assign them a truck. The draft will have 7 rounds in total. If you do not get drafted to the main 7, don't worry! Left overs will be drafted as subs and also assigned a truck. There will be 3 stops for each series over a 9 week period. We will switch off each week between series events. The top 4 in points after the 3 series events will move on to the World Finals at the Charlotte Dirt track to compete in a 12 truck competition. 4 trucks from each promotion will battle it out in Racing, Best Trick, and Freestyle to determine what promotion reigns supreme. Make sure you join the discord (Link at bottom of page)

You have heard about these series a ton, but now lets learn what promotions made the cut and learn more about the upcoming season:

Toughest Monster Truck Tour/MonsterX Team Captain: Tyler May driving Bigfoot
Monster Truck Throwdown Team Captain: Mark Colineri driving Avenger
Malicious Monster Truck Tour Team Captain: Vincent Akard driving Rockstar

3 Individual Series consisting of 8 trucks
3 events for each series
9 events in total over 9 weeks
Series events trade off each week
Top 4 in points from each series qualify for World Finals
World Finals will have 12 trucks (4 from each series)
REPLICAS ONLY! (Replicustoms included!)
This is a fairly realistic league, so keep that in mind. Whatever has happened in real life in the series you end up on is how you judge what you can do. (ex. No Front Flips, Corkscrews, Bicycles around the stadium etc..)

We will be doing headshots (Driver Pictures) like real life, these are OPTIONAL, but we strongly suggest participating, unless you want to be Doomsday.
