TOURNAMENT RULES

ALL drivers must be to a competitive battle standard to enter, in some cases video footage may be required to accompany your entry for review. This competition is not for everyone. Only the Top 24-32 drivers will be selected.

Vehicles can be of any power level, any drivetrain selection and any angle setup they want (as long as they meet MSNZ standards). 

Super Royale is about driver skill and epic battles with 265 Rear Radial Limit and front tyres as an Open Bracket (Radial or Semi Slick)

Please note: (TBC) Some tyre brands may be excluded from being classified as being a Radial due to compliance issues. Super Royale Crew will check each pass to ensure that the rear tyres are compliant with our list of eligible tyres, however these will be the usual suspects.

In the future or with enough interest and support, Super Royale may look at a separate Semi Slick division.

BATTLE FORMAT

SUPER ROYALE BATTLE24 FORMAT - DOUBLE ELIMINATION

Super Royale consists of a Hybrid, Dual Battle tree system.

24 Drivers are paired against each other in a randomised, computer generated pairing system. Removing the need for qualification. The ultimate match up of skill.

Battle Tree #1 is Super Royale being the main card, followed by a second, Redemption tree where drivers that lose their first battle in BATTLE24 and BATTLE12 are slotted in to battle their way back through for their chance at the SUPER ROYALE #001 title, awarding the top two drivers with ONE of TWO WildCard spots in the Wild 8. The driver with the highest redemption points wins an additional $200 cash bonus!

The ultimate match up for drivers to showcase how bad drivers really want it, and redemption for their chance of Glory on the Super Royale Podium.
