Events and editions

Everything in Kacky hangs off events. This page goes a level deeper than How Kacky works on what an event actually is, how editions work, and what happens to the maps once the event is over.

An event is a batch of maps with a month in the spotlight

An event is a set of brand-new maps released together. For about a month it's the main thing happening — the maps are fresh, everyone's playing them, and there's a live leaderboard just for that batch. That month-long run is the event's moment in the sun.

Two series: Kacky Reloaded and Kacky Remixed

Kacky runs two ongoing series, Kacky Reloaded and Kacky Remixed. Both are Trackmania 2020, and both follow the same rhythm — they're just separate map pools with their own history and their own numbering. Each new event in a series gets the next number, and that number is the edition. So "the newest Kacky Reloaded" or a particular edition is never ambiguous — the number pins it down.

After the month: hunting

When an event's month ends, its maps don't disappear. They roll onto a permanent hunting server that keeps the whole series' back catalogue online. That's where the long game happens — people are still chipping away at old maps years after the event that introduced them.

The only thing that changes is where your finish counts:

• Finish a map while its event is live → it counts toward that event.
• Finish the same map later, on the hunting server → it counts toward the all-time record for that map.

Same map, same finish line — just a different bucket depending on when you did it. This split is also why the site is careful about which "best time" it shows you; the details are on Records vs Finishes.

Why it's built this way

Kacky isn't a one-and-done event series. The whole point is that a map you couldn't beat two years ago is still sitting on the hunting server waiting for you. Editions give the community a steady drip of new challenges; the hunting servers make sure none of it is ever lost.
