So the current records mostly include events in which missing/failing is kind of encouraged to go faster. Could we add some score + categories in order to promote good and fast play?

For instance, all competitions that count points could have a system where every second incurs a -10 penalty which is deducted from the total points score at the end of the competition.

e.g. Current Haptathlon record by @Cobra_X21 is 5min 59 which would incur a -3590 penalty to their 5151 score resulting in an overall total of 1561. Which could be beat with some good fast play. Same with the other categories. I'd be interested in contributing to such a board.

Hello to all,

We can separate the different competitions in 2 categories : "time" / "point". Where the category "time" would be the actual category and the category "point" would be just the points with tens of thousands and thousands of points in seconds and hundreds, tens and units of points in milliseconds.

Would this fit everyone and would you be interested?

If you wanna do a high score category that's fine but it's not really what I had in mind. I wanted a category where you go as fast as possible while also trying to achive the highest score. It adds an extra dimension to the speedrun and forces people to think about strategy. The theoretical best score would be very tough as you would have to be perfect in every event AND perform it fast, which gives more longevity than a simple high score category (it also fits the purpose of this webside)

The interplay between the score and time is an interesting idea I discovered when speedrunning golf: https://www.speedrun.com/pgatg3/level/TPC_at_Avenel#Professional_tees_TimeStrokes
