Triple Crown Feast hosted by Beyond Gaming ended this past weekend. The playoffs phase began with a semi-final consisting of 48 hours of Time Attack on a Nadeo multi-lap where the top 25 qualified for the Grand Final which was played on 5 maps, again using Time Attack and a 5 minute time-limit where the total-time was what mattered.
In the final, 
BX3 Flyer could secure the victory* with a total-time of 03:04.762! He was about 17 hundreds ahead of 2nd place 
Vination'Tt|Serbi, and an additional 5 hundreds ahead of 3rd place

*Worth noting is that Dignitas/Carl Jr. who could not be present at the time of the Grand Final was still allowed to participate by the admins. He was allowed to set his times hours earlier from the rest who all had to play at the same time later in the evening.

This was not known to anyone until shortly before the final started. After the race, and after complains from most of the players, Beyond Gaming decided to eventually disqualify Carl Jr. who if his times had counted would have finished at 1st place. Despite being disqualified, Beyond Gaming are still planning to give Carl Jr. some sort of prize-pack which content is unknown at the time of writing.
The cash prize was really stunning and rare in a TM competition, and i was feeling very bad when i saw that admins doesn't know anything about trackmania, they added 13 maps @ the mappack 2 hours before the tournament start, we can't play the first day because of servers problem..
For Carl Jr's problem, this is really ugly. If the player was another than him admins should doesn't care, but he was one of the best or the best imo SO he had a special chance, and this is not fair, not fun, this is not trackmania.
I'm really disappointed !
They're open for help and support and eventually they'll get there.. even though I was a bit disappointed I missed the final, I still think they did a reasonable job, if you forget the the Carl Jr-gate.
It'll become better.. everyone makes mistakes, so don't be harsh on them :p I watched a bit of the vod back and I loved the enthousiasm!
