It depends on the game :
Some games have Individual Levels categories (wich are a separate part of game leaderboards also), for these, you can do speedrun of just one level. Otherwise, there's the usual full-game part of game leaderboards, wich usually have Any%, 100% and such. For these, you have to check the rules, but it's usually finishing the entire game.
As for timing, if the game you're speedrunning doesn't use in-game time, you can use programs such as LiveSplit.
Also, i feel like you're referring to a specific game, if that's the case, maybe asking the moderators of said game would be better (or just asking on the game's leaderboard forum directly).

Where are all these bots coming from !?
Hello,
We found out that all this time, clockwise runs for both Myogi and Usui were actually counterclockwise, and counterclockwise runs were actually clockwise.
All current runs will be put the the correct categories, but i cannot modify YouTube / Twitch highlight titles so you guys should update these whenever you can.
Thanks and sorry for that.
Also, here are some pics to avoid confusion when submitting new runs (or verifying them);
Myogi :
On this pick you can see both choices, red corresponds to counterclockwise, and blue corresponds to clockwise (the game also adds an arrow to show this on the minimap in bottom corner)
Usui :
Counterclockwise (red):
Clockwise (blue):
Also, here are some pics for Shomaru Pass and Happogahara, in case anyone gets confused about inbound and outbound;
Red = outbound Blue = inbound
Happogahara:
Outbound (red) :
Inbound (blue) :
Shomaru pass :
Outbound (red) (there's a sign right-next to the car, to the left):
Inbound (blue) (the guardrail to the right is replaced with dirt and herbs):
First question : https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame
Second : I guess you could, either way if you do speedruns you'll be able to select the region you're using (JP, US, EU etc) when submitting / adding runs on the game's leaderboard.
