The moderators have discussed a potential category reorganisation for the main leaderboard:

• The proposal is to convert the sub-category All Levels into a variable which appears under any%
• The proposal won't apply to CEs: All levels often serves a significant difference to any% in most/all CE worldmaps.

We do not wish to undo any accomplishments or simply remove times from the leaderboard. Instead, we propose:

1. The sub-category All Levels is changed into a variable, which would appear under any% runs.
2. Any% means "any method of completion", so all levels could appear under this definition, defined by its variable.
3. If wished, you can sort any% by what completion method was used using src's sort feature.

Arguments in support the conversion could be:

• 3 of the 4 All levels categories are variations of any% to a small extent, only allowing for roughly 4-5 additional levels over the standard route. This makes All levels, mostly serve as a category done for the sake of getting a WR time or master role. It is not necessarily a category that is done for enjoyment.
• This reduces the main category count to 8 which increases competition in other main categories, time could spent doing more enjoyable categories.
• This also would deflate the main category competition for when v0.7.0 comes out. Instead of 18 main categories, we would have 12.

Arguments against the conversion could be:

• 1 out of the 4 All levels categories (All levels, Forest, 0.5.x), is distinctive from any% - the route is different, more skips are used, more levels are played. This category is fun and could benefit from competition and therefore appearing as a main category and not a variable.

Please discuss this proposal in the Community Discord to form your opinions and share your thoughts. In case we have missed any key advantages/disadvantages, additional arguments for/against the decision will be summarised based on discussions and added above.

This post and poll will be announced on the SuperTux SRC main leaderboard forums and Discord.

• The poll will be conducted on speedrun.com/st on: 1st August, 2024 at 12:00pm BST
• Only those with verified, full-game supertux runs will be allowed to vote.
• Voters will reply under a thread with their choice
• Voting will close on: 8th August, 2024 12:00pm BST
• Votes will be counted

The decision will be to either:

• A: reorganise the leaderboard so All levels is a variable under any%,
• B: leave the leaderboard, so All Levels is its own main category.
