Why AAAA is the best Trackmania Username...🫠

In the Worlds Most Competitive Racing Game, having a name that contains a LOT of AAAAAs will help you beat your opponents at the finish line in a very specific situation.

Even though the problem is fairly rare, if it's so frustrating that players are changing their usernames to circumvent it, Nadeo ought to increase the priority of finding a more sustainable solution.

imagine if nascar ties were this way but its whoever can yell the longest because it sounds like

[TehJumpingJawa]

1) vehicle with a higher velocity on the finish line
2) vehicle closest to the centre of the finish line
3) vehicle who won the most checkpoint splits.
4) random

*Anything* is better than the winner being based upon the alphabetical order of the players' names. It's a perverse incentive that undermines the intended purpose of names as player identifiers.

Just flipping a coin would have been a better solution....

[Benjilovescats]

Best solution imo is just having the two players tie and then treating the player after 2 positions behind (ex. 1. 1. 3.)

I believe that in the Zerator Cup, they have a rule to solve such issues. The car with the fastest speed when crossing the finish line wins. I don’t even think it was only in the ZC but in the game in general but apparently it’s wrong so idk

You will never, NEVER, get a French company to change anything.

I think the easiest solution would be to use the previous checkpoint for tie breaking. Any other suggestions?

[reilysmith]

A literal coin toss would be preferable to this. Equal skill, equal time, equal chances of winning a 50/50 bet.

[Atmos_Glitch]

Like maybe who had the fastest 1st checkpoint to the next or something...

[NiemandIsAnoniem]

They should do the car with the most speed at the finish

[Schenkel]

you could even add like three tiebreaker rules that serve as backup to one another, like who gets first thorugh the most checkpoints, who ends the race with the most speed, who had the top speed. Last one is more applicable to fs than anything else, but it's fine as a third tiebreaker.

[fabiopauli]

If a tie happened id check the last time they didnt tie at.

[BazingusBoi]

It should give the win to whoever was in first for the majority of the race

[newtonthenewt]

They should either just declare it a tie, not knock anyone out, and just continue the tournament, or they should have it come down to a simple coin flip. To give something more fair, you could even give the round to whoever did better in the previous round.

That's actually wild, I thought about this very rule and the issue it introduced with names just 2 days ago! I was wondering why players wouldn't just change their name to something like "AAAWirtual" for example, and thought maybe there was a rule preventing that (although how can you enforce it, their desired gamertag could genuinely just be AAA-something). Turns out players are actually doing that now? Hasn't this rule been a thing for a while now?

[rbnotacus]

If they tie, they race again. If people were suppose to be knocked out, leaving you with let's say 25 players, but 25 and 26 tie, the next round just has 26 players. If a final round ends in a tie, the run is void, and they race again.

[Alleralle]

I think the most fair solution would be to base the victor on whoever has the better gaming chair

[yarredpel]

Best way to do a tie is to do another round

[badpiggs]

I thought of a solution in 10 seconds, the same way thousandths' are calculated. Using interpolation of the car over the finish, basically how far into the finish the car is the first frame it reaches it I think? Basically, get your act together nadeo fr
