# It begins!

The developer of **Soccer Online: Ball 3D** - *Maniek*, has announced on the official Discord server of the game a competition in his title.

The competition started on 18 November and will last until the first day of 2024.

### What is this game? Are there rewards? Allow me to explain.

Ball 3D is a physics-based online sports game of which the main gamemode is football/soccer with heavy emphasis on PvP aspect of the game. But of course that won't stop us, speedrunners...

- *Steam* page - [https://store.steampowered.com/app/485610/Soccer_Online_Ball_3D/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/485610/Soccer_Online_Ball_3D/)

It all started in 2012 when it was released as a browser game heavily inspired by *HaxBall* - a "2D top-down Ball 3D" also playable on your browser. Our game has experienced a lot of major updates and changes and is now on *Steam,* since 2017. Not very long ago B3D stopped being free-2-play. The price now is around *€1/$1.1* with frequent discounts.

In-game items were introduced with chest and key drops and that's when we start speaking of **rewards**.

The winners (world record holders) who'll have a WR by **01.01.2024** get **100 in-game keys** used to open chests with epic items.

Ah right, the goals of the competition:

- Top 1 in *Racing (1 Lap)* category - real time attack of all 4 tracks available in the Racing gamemode (played on a private server)
- Top 1 in *Single Goal (Expert difficulty, Default map)* - timed with IGT (played on Bots)
- Top 1 in *10 Goals* - same as above but you got to score 10 as a team (no, own goals don't count)
- Top 1 in *Tutorial* - real time attack of game's tutorial

Everyone is most welcome to join in on the fun. Think you can do better than current WR and get yourself a brand new set of in-game rewards? Prove it.

Let ending of the year be truly ballin'.
