United StatesThe Super Meat Boy any% leaderboard is currently missing over 150 entries on its board. I'm noticing on larger boards that there's a "load more" button but this hasn't been added to the SMB any% board for whatever reason. Can we please get someone to look into this?
Hi y'all,
Due to demand from some beginners who are learning the game, you can now submit Individual World runs in the level section of our leaderboards. Please read the rules prior to submitting attempts and have fun!
In other news, our community is holding a blind race for the new tough-as-nails adventure platformer from Edmund McMillen (Super Meat Boy) and Tyler Glaiel (Closure) -- THE END IS NIGH. It's going down this Wednesday in the Super Meat Boy Discord at 2PM EST/7PM GMT. Join in if you're interested! All you need is a copy of the game on Steam or Nintendo Switch and an SRL account to participate:

Hi all:
Cool news - our any% tournament is scheduled to be featured on twitch.tv/speedgaming, the preeminent twitch channel for speedrun tournaments. It's gonna be a big deal. Maybe like a front-page-of-Twitch-big-deal. [. . . !]
As a result, we're in need of two commentators who are available to watch the runs and describe the happenings in a detailed and personable way to the online public. We also need two volunteers who can manage the tournament bracket and direct people to the right race channels on speedrunslive. If you're interested in helping out in this capacity, please get in touch with me on the SMB discord or twitter (@warm_ham). You will help make this tournament a reality.
Dates are set for June 12th at 1PM EDT for the first round and June 26th (new date, take note!) for the finals. The first round will take about 5 hours. And of course, if you just want to run in the tournament, make sure you're signed up by June 9th! Signups here: http://challonge.com/smbany2016swiss/settings
GET STOKED, this is gonna be awesome - ham
Hi all,
I've opened up submissions for an any% tournament to begin on Sunday, June 12th! Tournament details and signups are here: http://challonge.com/smbany2016swiss
Registration is first come first serve up to 36 people, so don't delay! The only eligibility requirement is a PB under 25:00 (edited from the original 20:30) submitted to speedrun.com - so if you're not there yet, get grinding!
If you have questions, post 'em here or shoot me a message on twitter. I'm looking for a couple of people to help moderate the tournament, so if that's something that sounds cool to you, lemme know!
Cheers, ham
Hi all,
Checking in - what do y'all think about the current state of leaderboards? Do the changes to layout/formatting make sense and read well? What do you recommend for future improvements and changes? Any input will help make this page a better space for run submissions!
Cheerz - Ham
Thanks for the input over the past week. The results are in: yes to All Light Levels as a miscellaneous category, no to consolidating the misc any% categories into a single category. These changes will go into effect tonight.
There has been a request by a runner to put naija% on the main page. Leaving that up to y'all. Vote here - you have 5 days! http://strawpoll.me/7221997
While we're on the subject of potential leaderboard revisions, another proposition has been created to merge alt any%, any% ww, and alt any% ww into a single main page leaderboard named "any% (major glitches)." the leaderboard would display the glitches used in the run with speedrun.com's variable feature (i.e. subsections marked "Alt?" and "WW?" next to the runner's time)
interested in your feedback here. strawpoll to gauge interest: http://strawpoll.me/7173923
Here's a strawpoll for your consideration. Majority rules:
Hi,
Most other speedrunning communities have a rule that dictates when a full-game run starts and stops. Our community doesn't for whatever reason, which has resulted in inconsistent timing from runner to runner. When positions on the leaderboard in some categories sometimes come down to the frame, we need standardized timing. Let's fix this issue finally!
Here are two strawpolls. The first asks when a run should begin, the second asks when a run should be considered over.
Run start: http://strawpoll.me/6623724
Run end: http://strawpoll.me/6623706
N.B.: whatever rulings are made will not result in the invalidation of any submissions up to this point, and previously submitted runs need not be retimed to conform to whatever timing is decided on. We just need a clear rule going forward.
Feel free to chime in~
