How to unlock the Not bad for a first try achievement in Trackmania - Definitive Guide

(Paid subscription required to enter and earn achievement)

This can be found under Live > Track of the Day.

The cup event takes place at specific times of the day, those being (in UTC) 5PM, 1AM, & 9AM. See in-game for times in your local timezone. There will also be an in-game note if one is about to start.

Be in a live track of the day lobby when the time comes and you'll be put into the cup of the day game, where you'll play a 15 minute long qualifying round. You can join anytime during this round also if you don't want to play for the full 15 mins, but you need to finish at least once to be put forward into a division based on your best time with 64 other people.

From there, no specific results needed, play until elimination. The first round has no eliminations, press the restart track button to get a DNF and a quick elimination in the second round if you want.

Bonus tip, make sure to go into settings > controls and bind the "hide opponents" action to a button, or you'll end up like me

Nadeo is giving all Starter (free) players access to the Cup of The Day from September 11th to 12th.
It's not much, but it does allow everyone to grab this achievement without paying for a subscription. https://www.reddit.com/r/TrackMania/comments/16d6et7/free_co...

You are playing a Live Track of the Day match, not a Cup of the Day match. You need to join or be in a lobby when the time comes (they’ll be visible in your timezone next to the track in the aforementioned menu) for you to play the Cup of the Day.

I would also like to point out that you do need to finish the track in the qualifier so that you can actually play the Cup.

+1 for "HIDE OPPONENTS". Do this BEFORE going into a CotD match. My first two runs were miserable and I almost got knocked out immediately. Hid them in a panic after completing a run and ended up taking 3rd in my first CotD.

FYI, the CotD for Jun 19, 2023 will be available to people with Starter Access. For anyone not willing to get Standard this is the time to pop this.

*Subscription required* This is one of the handful of trophies that is locked behind a paywall. See the intro for details.

Before you start, go into the settings and bind a button to 'show/hide opponents', otherwise you won't be able to see where you are going. This is separate to the 'show/hide ghost' button.

Each day, a user created track is nominated by the developers to be the Track of the Day (TotD). The Cup of the Day (CotD) is held on this track. Cup of the Day is held at 19:00, 03:00 and 11:00 Central European Time (the location of the developer studio). The new TotD premieres in the 19:00 event and is used in the two repeats. 
To get the trophy, you will have to play out a CotD until you are eliminated. First, you will need to join the Track of the Day server shortly before the event time from the "Live" tab on the menu. When the top of the hour comes, you will be sent directly to a qualifiing server. Here, you have 15 min to set your best time to be placed in a division. At the end of the 15 min qualifier, players are placed in divisions of 64 in order of time, creating as many divisions as needed to include everyone. From here it is a knockout event. Once you either get knocked out or win, the trophy will pop.
