"You must send in both POV and STV demos which means you will need to send in eight demos in total (sixteen if you plan to compete in both the soldier and the demo race)."

Does this mean there will be a different time for soldier and demo respectively? Two parts to the live race?

the demo and soldier race are two different races that will be happening on the same stream, we'll race a soldier course, then a demo course, and alternate between the two

I challenge you to a dance off.

"with the top two jumpers from each race progessing to the next course."
Won't it be unfair if someone gets top 8 time but gets third on his race and gets disqualified?

No, that's the whole thing. You only get one shot on each course, so make it count.

What I believe Syphilis is talking about is the possibility that one group will consist of better players than another group so that even if the top 2 players in the bad group are worse than the bottom 2 players in the good group they get to move on. This is just an issue with tournaments in general and all you can really do is try to have balance.

They could make it so that the top 8 times set in the races move on instead of the top two from each race.
I assume the main reason for the 4 different races is to make it easier for the stream to understand what's going on.

It would be unfair but that's the whole point of making people race in groups. You play against your direct opponents instead of everyone. But as HappyCamper said it would only be a problem if all the best jumpers end up in the same group on the early stage.

Tournaments normally deal with that kind issue with seeding: a common setup for 1 on 1 matches, for say 16 players, is to have seed #1 vs #16, #2 vs #15, etc. Another common thing is top 8 is randomly assigned an opponent among bottom 8. This is to avoid having the top seeds play each other in the early stage. Upsets are still possible but less likely, and the later stages are normally more competitive.

I'm guessing seeding based on submission times will be used to balance the groups. Also if i'm not mistaken the map was built with 4 jumpers per stage in mind, as there seems to be 4 timers per stage.
