Yes, expect a change 😃
It was clear yesterday, as there was no banner for next tournament, that we will lack one today and the days after, until a new update will show us what to expect next.
an impending update was my thoughts as well, lets just hope that it'll be a sensible update to the tournament environment, not like the last one they tried when they reduced the tourney tickets and refill time
Update is here and tournaments are back. And it is Street Smarts as usual (in the last few months), with a few changes:
- it is for 1 day only
- everybody starts at tier 15 (if I am not mistaken, we started at tier 10 for one day tournaments before)
And no, there is still no change to tournament market :-(

Don't think so - it's just because tournament leaderboard is already pre-packed with lots of AIs. This stayed since last update... :-/
@HeretikJirka The tournament leaderboard is actually real people.
Although the tournament leaderboard is bugged as I had a 40th place on one tournament and my name wasn't shown on the Top 50 leaderboard. It was shown on the Global leaderboard though.
It was shown like this:
Top 50 leaderboard:
39th - Guy A
40th - Guy B
41th - Guy C
Global leaderboard:
39th - Guy A
40th - Me
41th - Guy B
@TheRealJony I'm not agree with you in this one, I believe there are real players and AI on the leaderboards, if you're right about that, are you telling me that always a real player is wining the tournament? I strongly don't believe that because to win it you need to spend more gold than the one you can recover on the prizes, so it's totally useless to do that, happy racing!!
@peniastall People compete in tournaments to be the best out of everyone. By everyone, I mean real people. Why would the game have AIs on the leaderboards when the AIs get easily beaten?
Tournaments are supposed to be competitions among competitors and all are competing for the ultimate prize. That ultimate prize is finishing in 1st place in the tournament. It doesn't make any sense that AI opponents are on the leaderboards. Next, you'll probably tell me that some of these (former) players are AIs as well: http://nfstimes.com/nfsw/drivers/pc_driver_score
I'm saying that a real player is always winning a tournament. That real player probably spent a ton of Gold spamming Tournament tickets (and being a no-life) to get 1st place. It's a competition. You have to win all of your Tournament races and spam Tournament tickets to get 1st place in a tournament.
Tournaments are also a way to generate profit for FIremonkeys as well.
Gold is premium currency that costs real money.
Spends real money to buy Gold ---> Spends Gold to spam Tournament tickets ---> No-lifer wins 1st place in a Tournament ---> Profit for Firemonkeys ---> Repeat for next Tournament
@DonathanJacobs You win every tournament, and you still haven't realized that you race AI every damn time, even if it has a humam name sticker?
