How does XDWC work? (detailed rules further down below)
- Every player can join it at any time!
- 5 (+ warmup) unique and unreleased maps will be played
- Your time and ranking will be converted into a score for each map
- Player with the highest score after all maps will be crowned as the Winner

Don't be afraid to even ask other players directly! Usually, they can tell you where you can improve or what you're doing wrong.
A good server to practise is "exe.pub | Relaxed Running | CTS/XDF". Detailed results here: https://xdf.gg/
