Rules

Tournament Rules

Before the Tournament

  • Create a racetime account before your first match.
  • Register on Challonge with your teammate before signups close.
  • The qualifier async is optional, but VOD links are required if you submit one.
  • You may stream the qualifier if your title makes it unmistakably clear that it is spoiler content.
  • After submitting the qualifier, you will get access to the spoiler discussion channel for that seed.

Scheduling Matches

  • Matchups appear on Challonge and should also be emailed when available.
  • CoopCrosskeysMouseBot will create a thread in the scheduling channel for each match.
  • Use the scheduling form or /schedule_match in your thread to set or change a time.
  • If a race moves by more than 30 minutes, resubmit the schedule so everyone stays synced.
  • Use /cancel_match in your thread if the current time needs to be cleared.

Race Day

  • About 25 minutes before race time, the bot will create your raceroom and ping the match thread.
  • Use the "Roll 2026 Co-op Crosskeys Seed" button in the raceroom.
  • The seed uses only the opt-in modes both teams have selected.
  • Join a co-op voice channel with your teammate, get settled, and GLHF.

Co-op Conduct

  • Communicate with your teammate in a 216 Discord co-op voice channel.
  • Shared trackers and shared planning documents are allowed.
  • Do not screen share during the race.
  • Do not watch any active race stream, including your teammate's stream, until your race is complete.
  • After your game reaches "The End" in the credits, you may re-enter the seed to help your teammate. In-game fast forward is fine during credits; emulator fast forward is not.

Mode select

Opt-in Modes

all_dungeons

All dungeons are required instead of the normal crystals goal. There are 0bbs.

keydrop

Dungeon pot keys and enemy drop keys join the shuffled small key pool.

Keydrop reference

mirrorscroll

Start with dungeon-only warp utility, similar to a mirror that does not work in the overworld.

pseudoboots

Dash from the start, but logic still requires real boots for things like bonk rocks and torches.

shopsanity

Progression and other items may be sold in shops.

zelgawoods

Skull Woods joins the zelgawoods shuffle.

How match settings are chosen

Each race uses the settings both teams have in common. If your team opts into all dungeons, mirrorscroll, and zelgawoods, while your opponents opt into mirrorscroll and pseudoboots, that match rolls with mirrorscroll only.

Tools

Race Tools

Seed rolling

In Discord, use /mudorarollcrosskeys with autocomplete for pseudoboots, mirrorscroll, and zelgawoods options. On racetime, use !mudorarollcrosskeys or the "Roll Custom Crosskeys" button.

Shared tracker

Shared trackers are welcome. Entrando is a known option for co-op play.

That is a wrap on the 2026 tournament. Thank you to every team that raced, scheduled around real life, and made this another great excuse for the 216 community to spend time together.

Congratulations to Ramond and Eris of Discordia on taking the crown, and to everyone who made a run through this year's bracket.

Huge thanks to clearmouse for all the bot, bracket, and behind-the-scenes work that made the tournament possible. We will see you for the next one.
