	Some level of integration with online tournaments has been incorporated in Bliss. The ''Tournament'' menu option allows the user to connect to championship sites, download the current track and check the score table. Metadata can be added to track files in order to preserve the track title, author's name and other information. While [[ZakStunts]] does not make use of track metadata, [[Race ~~for~~ Kicks]] does, so this is a useful possibility for tournaments.

	In 2006, during the third season of [[WSC\|World Stunts Championship]], ~~ran~~ by [[Paleke]], a track design contest took place. The winning tracks were to be used for some of the season's races. Cas, who had previously only used Stunts' internal editor, was now using [[Track_Blaster_Pro\|Track Blaster Pro]] with the purpose of adding normally unallowed features to his tracks. He found it to be hard work and ended up designing most of one of his tracks (''4AM'') with the internal editor and then, completing the work with Track Blaster instead. This experience prompted him to start the ''Castunts'' project. Castunts was a mouse-driven editor that used the original graphics from Stunts' internal editor and allowed "drawing" on track by just dragging the mouse cursor. It also included a "brush-like" terrain editor, which was extremely comfortable.

	Paleke himself visited Cas and saw the editor working, which he considered promising, but the project was never completed or published as Cas entred a hiatus from Stunts and even Paleke disappeared after season 2007 of his tournament. The concept would be forgotten for several years.
