There will never be a Parkour Survival or Lift Off again because those contests are organized by community helpers.

Masters Of Parkour however; Marcus once told me there will be one, but I don't know when. Hopefully this year...

I hope they will, it's quite interesting

but there is one nuance, if the winners were not those who had already won before, but new people appeared whom we have not seen yet, it would be very cool

This is really unfair they removed parkour contests soon there wont be masters of parkour anymore. I wouldnt trust marcus at all.  And why 2020 ps winners dont lose their blaze paint?

Masters of Parkour should be coming as it is not organized by community helpers. It is owned by Tanki itself.

And about Blaze; I wish I could know why some players still have Blaze. I hope for more clarity soon.

In the latest Parkour Survival, it was mentioned that Blaze will be removed after the next Parkour Survival, but the next Parkour Survival didn't happen yet unfortunately

There is chance for MoP but probably not this year

Why never? Even though the contest organizers are not a thing anymore, I have plans to ask them to form a team of organizers (or I myself can try to form a team of organizers if they are okay with it) just for the duration (to be disbanded at the end of the contest) of Parkour Survival or Lift Off, but I don't know if they will agree this yet

Parkour Survival's Blaze wasn't issued forever, and I can't be sure what you mean by "all parts of the parkour master"

I meant all parts of parkour masters in 16, 17, 18, 19 and so on years

 

and about the fact that the winners of these tournaments received the paint "master of parkour" forever

Can some omp contest be added or simple anything.. i have nothing else to do in tanki anymore.

You can expect parkour contests next year, they said they will try to return parkour contests next year. Maybe you can join any parkour club and develop your skills before the contests come

Parkour is for noobs with lobster-claws instead of hands, if you see my meaning.

Ehh, I may agree if you are talking about parkour fights, but parkour? Nah, parkour is an art

The tandem at Barda and Noise were definitely my favorite tricks. Really impressive and creative!

I personally feel the rules requiring clubs to upload videos in 60 FPS in order to obtain Parkour Club Support and the Official Parkour Club status should be removed and should not have to be adhered to. From my perspective as a Video Editor, 24 FPS and 30 FPS videos can be more cinematic than 60 FPS videos (in fact, the majority of major films are in such frame rates), and as proven by some Video Editors within the Tanki Online community, they can look just as good as a smoother 60 FPS video. If you would like some examples, I can send a few to prove this point.

I think with there being the requirements of "neatly edited" videos, the 60 FPS requirement is not necessary because of redundancy, and especially factoring in the above fact(s) as well, it should be done away with - it's just not important.
 

 

For those unaware of the rules discussed above, I have linked them in the below spoiler.

Spoiler

4.9.3. Videos must be in FHD @60FPS (1080p60 quality) or higher.

6.11.1. Videos must be in QHD @60FPS (1440p60 quality).

As a real life filmmaker and Tanki Online Video Editor, I agree with you. It makes no sense whether parkour videos are in 30 or 60 FPS. It should be the editors choice to make it in 30 or 60 FPS because as you said, 30 can be just as smooth as 60 FPS, especially in video games.

The most ridiculous rule for the official clubs is that the video must be in 1440p. This way you are forced to buy a 1440p monitor (which is expensive) to actually meet this requirement. Yes, you can record in 1080p and export in 1440p, but there is literally 0% difference in quality. Such a useless rule that makes no sense at all.

I think this should change with the next upcoming parkour rules.

Yes it's hard to edit 60 frames then 30

Someone already sent me a Discord DM about this several months ago but thanks for reminding me about this again. First of all, let me clarify, there are no rules or requirements to upload videos in 60 FPS to obtain Parkour Club Support, there is such a rule for parkour clubs that have the Parkour Club Support (means a parkour club must make videos in 60 FPS only after getting the Parkour Club Support), and you've linked a rule about 60 FPS which must be followed by existing official parkour clubs instead of linking a "requirement" about 60 FPS which must be fulfilled by parkour clubs to obtain the official status (the requirement only tells that the "majority" of the videos should be in 60 FPS, this does not make a big difference but I thought this is worth mentioning), and neatness isn't the same as smoothness so I don't think it's best to say that the 60 FPS requirement is redundant because there is a requirement about "neatly edited" videos

I know that there isn't much difference between a 24 or 30 FPS video from a 60 FPS video in terms of looks, and 30 FPS can appear just as smooth as 60 FPS especially in gaming videos, but although you may not notice much of the difference, it is a fact that 60 FPS is normally smoother than a lower FPS

Anyway, it was known that YouTube encodes videos in VP9 instead of AVC for small YouTube channels if their videos are in 1080p at 50 or 60 FPS or 1440p at any FPS, videos using VP9 look much better on YouTube and we want the videos made by parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support and official status to not look just fine when they can look much better because they get paid with in-game stuff for creating videos and they are not normal parkour clubs. 1080p50 or 1080p60 videos get VP9 on YouTube but such videos may not always get VP9 and sometimes even 1080p videos that's not at 50 or 60 FPS get VP9 on YouTube but it seems there is more chance to get VP9 if the video is in 1080p at 50 or 60 FPS, and videos in 1440p at any FPS always get VP9 regardless of the FPS. So to get VP9, videos made by parkour clubs with Parkour Club Support must at least be in 1080p at 60 FPS (Why 60 FPS instead of 50 FPS for 1080p even though 1080p50 can get VP9? Because there isn't much difference between 50 and 60 FPS and it's better to chose 60 FPS instead of 50 FPS as 60 FPS is obviously generally better than 50 FPS), and since the official status is higher than the Parkour Club Support, it didn't make sense to allow videos by official parkour clubs to not be in 60 FPS, so their videos must also be in 60 FPS, not in a lower FPS even though their videos must be in 1440p which can get VP9 regardless of the FPS (Why 1440p when 1080p60 is enough for VP9? Because a 1440p video always gets VP9 unlike a 1080p60 video which sometimes doesn't get VP9, and official parkour clubs are higher than parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support and get things that the latter don't so we expect them to do better and not make videos in 1080p60 just like the parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support)

But I now think videos made by parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support do not need to get VP9 like the videos made by official parkour clubs, so we'll probably remove all requirements and rules about making videos in 60 FPS for both official parkour clubs and parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support and let it be up to the leaders of such parkour clubs to decide what FPS to use in their videos

We have a rule for official parkour clubs that states videos must be in 1440p60 and a requirement to obtain the official status that says majority of videos should be in 1440p60 because a 1440p video always gets VP9 unlike a 1080p60 or 1080p video which sometimes doesn't get VP9, and official parkour clubs are higher than parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support and get things that the latter don't so we expect them to do better and not make videos in 1080p60 just like the parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support. You are not forced to (and you can't say you are "forced" to) buy a 1440p when, like you said, you can simply record in 1080p and export it in 1440p. Maybe there is 0% difference in quality between a 1080p and 1440p video when you watch them in your computer, but on YouTube there is some noticeable difference in quality between the two depending on what encoder YouTube gives to each video. It's weird to see that you being a real life filmmaker and Tanki Online Video Editor didn't talk about video encoding. But anyway, I hope it all makes sense now

I think this opinion varies from person to person and depends on several circumstances. But can you elaborate more on why you feel it's difficult? And I hope you are aware that only parkour clubs with the Parkour Club Support and official status are currently required to make videos in 60 FPS
