SRC Series: Peggle Nights Initiate Speedrun Challenge!

If you don’t know, the SRC Series is a lineup of challenges we're rolling out on a semi-regular basis, funded entirely by Speedrun.com. SRC Series challenges are designed to be fun and engaging, with a focus on community involvement. The prize bounties are smaller compared to sponsored challenges, providing a break from the stress of high-stakes competition! We hope SRC Series challenges will continue to bring speedrunners together from all kinds of communities to discover new games and meet new people.

Here’s everything you’ll want to know heading into the challenge:

Starting Date: August 24th, 2024

Duration: 8 days, until 11:59PM UTC September 1st, 2024

Prize Distribution:

The $500 prize pool will be distributed among the top performers for the fastest completion time in the Initiate category. The distribution is as follows:

1st place - $250

2nd place - $150

3rd place - $100

Please note that in order to comply with international tax law, the challenge cash prize may be subject to tax withholding based on the winner's country of residence.

Participation Prizes:

As usual with our SRC Series Challenges, we are bringing back participation prizes!

First of all, any runner who submits any runs to the Peggle Nights Initiate Speedrun Challenge will receive one month of SRC Supporter, if you haven’t heard of Supporter before you may learn more about it here!

Secondly, any challenge participants will be awarded with the title “Peggler”. If you’re unfamiliar with Titles, they are a unique descriptor that goes alongside your username on your profile (as well as profile popovers) which can (as of right now) only be acquired by participating in Challenges right here on SRC. To find out more, check out our last article about Titles! https://www.speedrun.com/news/17vr795x-introducing-titles

Eligibility:

Open to players aged 18 and above worldwide, with the following exceptions: North Korea, Syria, Sudan, Cuba, Iran, Somalia, and Venezuela.

If you are under the age of 18, not to worry! You can still participate and win the participation prizes, but unfortunately you will not be eligible for the cash prizes amongst the top 3.
