I would understand the rejection. You can't really skip that, since it doesn't really finish the event.

The rankings on Wiimmfi DO work, but it must be on a profile without a friend code already on it. If you have a friend code on it from the WFC days, you need to make a new profile. If not, be sure that you're following the Wiimmfi guide(homebrew or hackless) correctly! Any mistakes will cause errors!

I know the Speed Skating has two sublevels, but where is Relay? I'm pretty sure there could be some runs for the Relay sublevel, so can it be added?

aww man, I would have joined if I checked.

You can record the replay through the Save Data Rankings. If you press 2, a replay screen will show up, asking if you want to see the replay. 1:17 seems sketch on paper and in practice, but is definitely possible, albeit requiring extremely lucky RNG, likely meaning high speed shoes or a special boost each time. The only recorded video of a 1:17 was by a guy named BullyWiiPlaza(MasterTizi on WFC) and even considering he used hacks, it's surprising he still wasn't the fastest. That title goes to Leonardo, the first(and so far only) sub 1:15 on Dream Snowboard Cross. Too bad there are no speedruns less than 1:30 of it. Anyway, I hope you can upload this to the site. Be sure to upload your replay when you have time!
