What is Mario Maker Mondays?
Mario Maker Monday’s is a Super Mario Maker Community driven racing event that looks to show off both level creators, and level players. Each week, over the course of four weeks, a group of level creators submit levels for racers to play through blindly. Points are awarded on a weekly basis based on finish, with those who have the most points competing in an end of season Playoff. Season 2 will build off the concept from the first season with a few tweaks and bigger and better prizes. See the structure for Season 1 Here.

Twitch Sponsorship
StreamBIG is excited to announce that Mario Maker Season #2 will be SPONSORED by Twitch! Twitch was incredibly supportive of season 1 with front page time as well as advertising the playoffs in their newsletter. They reached out to us regarding season 2 and wanted to do even more. For season 1, we had a few small prizes in the shape of Nintendo E-Shop cards. I’m happy to say that this year’s GRAND PRIZE will greatly surpass that. The 2 Finalists of Mario Maker Monday’s Racer Tournament will be flown to Sunny San Diego for an all-expenses paid trip to Twitch Con to compete to be crowned Mario Maker Monday Champion! We didn't forget about level creators either! The winner of our Level Creation contest will also be flown to Twitch Con and will create 5 levels for the Grand Finals!

Format
Like season 1, we are looking to show off members of both the creation and racing side of the Mario Maker Community. We’ve made some changes that will better streamline the process. All races prior to the finals will be restreamed on Twitch.tv on twitch.tv/iateyourpie
Creators
Like last year, level creators will also be competing for a prize. Thanks to the sponsorship with TWITCH, the grand prize Winner of the Level Creation side of Mario Maker Mondays Season 2 will be flown to San Diego For Twitch Con, where they will make 5 levels for The Grand Finals of Mario Maker Mondays Season 2! This year's level creator process will be a bit different, as all Level creators will be chosen through an application process that will be done before Week 1 starts. You will have until 12:01am EDT Saturday, July 30h, 2016 to submit 4 levels that you’ve created. We will choose a set amount of creators that will be responsible for creating levels for the entire event. Fill out an application if you want to participate in the creation side of the contest. (Creators will not be allowed to also compete in the racing portion of the event.)
Racers
Each week, there will be a set of 8 levels that will be raced at 9 PM EST through MakersofMario.com Racing Function. You will be required to have an account on MoM, and will be required to stream. Failure to do either will result in your results not counting for that week.
Each week points will be given out to the top 16 finishers. At the end of the 4 week season, a 16 man single elimination playoff will be hosted over Sunday September 11, and Monday September 12, 2016. 16 man bracket run until there are only 2 racers left. Those 2 racers will be flown to San Diego to compete live at Twitch Con From Sept 30 – October 2nd. For questions about Mario Maker Mondays, feel free to join our Discord Server!

The Goal
The goal of these events is to not only grow the community of Super Mario Maker, but also to get more people racing. Since the release of Super Mario Maker in September, the community has grown so much! With the help of sites like Makersofmario.com and Twitch getting involved, the sky is the limit for the community! My hope is that we bring even more Mario Maker streamers and creators together and show Twitch that the community is still growing!
