United StatesGood afternoon everyone, here is a brief rundown of the Januaray/Febuaray 2021 WSR update, sponsered by me being in quarintine.
Golf Special Courses Give Up% --> Misc Golf Challenges Golf All Courses Give Up% --> Misc Golf Challenges
Frisbee Golf Special Courses Give Up% --> Misc Frisbee Golf Challenges Frisbee Golf All Courses Give Up% --> Misc Frisbee Golf Challenges
2p, 3p, 4p, All Golf Tour --> Misc Golf Challenges 2p, 3p, 4p, All Golf Tour --> Misc Frisbee Golf Challenges
Ruling Challenge - Golf ILs Top 6 to Top 10
Cycling ILs - Times within 5 seconds on 1 Stage runs require video proof, times within 10 seconds on 3 Stage runs require video proof.
We will have a community vote in the Wii Series Speedrunning discord to decide if Classic 9 hole runs in Golf and Frisbee Golf will now require you to choose 9 hole. Eitherway, all older runs will be grandfathered in.
All stuff will be updated, eventually
Hello everyone. This will be the thread to keep track of categories that have been sugguested by the community, and at the time the mod team has decided to not have on the boards. That doesn't mean they are gone forever, but for now we won't add them. Everyone's runs from the categories will be tracked here. If we decide to bring up the idea to have the category, these runs will be kept track of. Cheers.
Good afternoon ya'll. This is the last leaderboard update for 2020! We are almost done with the year, and in hindsight, maybe we should think towards 2021... Anyway, smaller update this go around.
Pending Categories - After looking at the runs, we have decided that "Lose All Sports" will be moved to the All Sports Challenges category. The other categories right now we are not interested in adding at this time, so there will be a fourm post on the Category Extension boards where we will document categories that have been suggested, but for now are not adding. This post doesn't mean we won't add them later, but at this time the answer is no.
Cycling Co-op Rules have been updated to where Co-op now allows you to do 1 player 2 controllers. This should bring some great compeition to the category. Submissions will work like the CE Golf and Frisbee Golf multiple player categories, where you can submit via one person or two people.
The new pending categories for the end of the year inolves golf and give up. Special Course Give Up will be a thing, where runners will give up the special course as possible. Or if it is better with the community, doing All Courses Give Up, will be the other. Just whichever has more support by the end of the year we will keep.
We also will be cleaning up the CE board a little bit, combine some categories to make things a little easier.
I hope you all have a fantastic rest of the year. Happy holidays, and remember. Please give me some time to update these things on the boards. Cheers!
Hello everyone, I hope September treated you well and you are ready to go into October. Just a few things here.
Adding the "Pending Categories" category to the category extension boards. This allows people to know exactly what categories we are thinking on adding. Taking this just like how Super Mario Odyssey handles it.
Change the name of Blind to Expert Mode for Golf FG (This is what the game literally calls it)
Move all Blindfolded Speedruns to their own category. (with sub categories for each run)
Moving Blindfolded All Categories to pending categories. It has been well over a year, and Simrax still is the only person.

Hello everyone, I want to be the first to welcome you all and wish you luck. Make sure to join the discord linked on any of the Clubhouse Game leaderboards.
Here is some tips to make everyone's lives better.
Read the rules, if you win a game, submit it only to win. If you don't win, it goes in finish.
Unless the run has In-Game Time in it (such as Slotcars) DO NOT submit In-Game with your run. Stuff like All Sports, Golf, and others do not have In game time, so there is no need to submit In Game Time with your run besides to make my life more difficult. Wipeout is already in charge of that.
Similarly, do not submit milliseconds unless the In Game timer has them (such as Slot cars). Any exceptions to this are discussed with mods and community ahead of time, and retimed by leaderboard mods.
Cheers, and I wish you luck.

Read the rules, especially on video proof requirements.

BRAND NEW CATEGORIES If we couldn't jam enough categories into the leaderboard, we got more. All of these will be going into the category extension leaderboard here - https://www.speedrun.com/wsrce .
For all of these news categories, we need to see 4 runs from different people with video proof in order to add the category. Till we get the four peoples submissions, it won't be added.
Beat the Champion- Table Tennis: Match - 11-Point (Exactly like regular TT BtC, but doing 11 Point matches. Rules and Timing is the exact same.
Lose All Sports - Coming over from OG Wii Sports, Lose All Sports is here. Timing is just like regular All Sports, however you must lose every single sport. This means the following:
Lose both rounds of Swordplay Duel (You can exit when you get knocked off the second time) Receive a score of 0 in Wakeboarding (Same exiting as All Sports) Give Up a 3 Hole Course in Frisbee Golf (You can exit when "Give Up" appears on the third hole of the frisbee golf course).

That's all, have a fun summer. Join the Wii Sports Club tournament.
You can post your runs down below.
Hey everyone, for those confused of where most of the categories went, they went to the level leaderboard! It looks a lot cleaner on paper imo to move Assassination and things like that to the level leaderboard to where you can see the different countries a lot easier.
I personally use the Wiii2HDMI adapter. It is a handy little device that can transmit your Wii signal through HDMI.

Wii Sports Resort | All Sports Guide For Beginners (Written)
Note: I play the sports out-of-order so that if I mess up early on, I can just reset without waiting until the end. You have to end with skydiving though. If you want to see a video with the route described with frisbee golf and golf as 2 first sports, see GhostT12547's former world record video;
1 - Frisbee Golf
For Frisbee golf, you want to play Classic B in 3 holes. This course is the fastest.
When you are about to make your first shot, keep in mind of how strong the wind is and in what direction it is going in.
1-3 MPH is a light wind
4-6 MPH is medium wind
7-10 MPH is heavy wind
The heavier the wind, the more you want to shoot in the other direction to compensate.
You can exit the level right after your Frisbee goes in the cylinder on the 3rd hole.
2 - Golf
For golf, you want to play Classic A in 3 holes.
The same wind principle applies to golf but it has a little bit less effect on the ball rather than the Frisbee.
You don't really ever want to hit it too hard or else your shot will go out of control.
It's good to have the blue bar as close to the top as possible without it going red.
You can exit the level right after the ball goes in the hole on the 3rd hole.
3 - Swordplay
For swordplay, make sure that the Mii that you're using is at Level 0 or else you will face a harder opponent.
The strategy is to swing your sword as fast as you can in the same direction as the opponent.
For example: If your opponents sword is vertical, yours should be too.
You can exit the level right after the opponent falls of the edge of the stage.
4 - Table Tennis
For table tennis, your Mii needs to be level 0.
The strategy is to put as much spin on the ball as possible.
Also, hit the ball on the opposite side of the table of where the opponent is.
You can exit the stage right after it says “Second Bounce” on your 6th point.
5 - Basketball
For basketball, you want to choose 3-Point Contest.
The strategy is to get 5 points before the third rack.
If you don't, a dialog comes up and you lose a few seconds.
After the third rack, you can start to miss every shot.
You can exit the stage right after the ball leaves your hands for the last shot
6 - Bowling
For bowling, you have to choose standard game.
The strategy is to bowl the ball as fast as possible and try to get a strike.
If you don't get a strike for your first shot, you can just throw the ball as fast as you can for the second.
A spare and two misses are almost exactly the same amount of time.
You can exit the stage right after you shoot the bowling ball on the last shot.
7 - Canoeing
For canoeing, you have to choose beginner.
The strategy is to stay as close to the left wall as possible until you hit the green cluster of lily pads,
you can just go around it.
You can exit the stage right after you cross the finish line and it says “Finish”.
8 - Archery
For archery, it's gonna ask you to calibrate Wii MotionPlus, just press on
“Stop Wii MotionPlus Calibration” and then “Cancel”.
Then choose beginner.
The strategy is to hit the ground as close to you as possible so that the arrow travels for less time.
You can exit the stage right after the arrow leaves your bow on the 3rd shot in the 4th level.
9 - Power Cruising
For power cruising, you have to choose Marina.
The strategy is to start off in the center, then when the track starts to bend to the left,
go through that gap outside of the track.
It's gonna count from 3 so make sure that you aren't outside of the track when it says 1.
You can exit the stage right after you cross the finish line and it says “Finish”
10 - Cycling
For cycling, you have to choose “1-Stage Race”, then “To the Beach”
The strategy is to not run out of hearts and draft behind people to regain them quicker.
You can exit the stage right after you cross the finish line and it says “Finish”
11 - Wake boarding
For wake boarding, you need to choose beginner.
There is no strategy since it's timer based! You can just sit back for a couple of minutes.
You can exit the stage right after you cross the finish line and it says “Finish”
12 - Skydiving
For skydiving, the strategy is to keep your Mii as vertical as possible (Standing up position).
Even if your Mii is vertical, that does not mean that your Wiimote is so adjust it accordingly.
Timing ends after the shutter closes on the camera.
END
Hey, we finally got around to doing another run. This was a lot better, and we were joined by a 5th person. I know 5 players isn't a category, and if you don't want it to be a category I'd suggest maybe just a Offline and Online categories.
Here is the Twitch link for it, can't wait to submit the run.
