The timer starts automatically when the race starts, and the timer will end automatically when you click done/type .done in racetime

Integration to create/join races and such is a bit more complicated, but might be a future project.

Hey, just wanted to share that I made a command-line based speedrunning timer. It can handle current LiveSplit files and uploads/downloads from splits.io

Just hoping staff could give insight into if this is coming in the future or not.

Hey all,

I'm organizing a new marathon series: Gamegoyles. It is a charity marathon, with all proceeds for this event going towards Trans Student Educational Resources. Submissions open in two days, and the marathon is July 23-25.

All info and links are here: https://gamegoyles.org/

Made a couple updates. Rather than relying on server admins to run tournaments, you can designate a server role to act as a tournament organizer. Also updated the live pairings and standings viewer.

I have a created a new Discord bot named Bracketeer. Essentially, it allows you to run tournaments in your Discord server (similar to Challonge).

Details of what it does and how to interface with it are here (in addition to the invite code): https://slashinfty.github.io/bracketeer/

You can now nickname the bot whatever you'd like in your servers by doing

@run GET !nick A New Nick Name

One of my bots uses this query to find recently verified speedruns:

https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/runs?status=verified&orderby=verify-date&direction=desc&embed=game,category.variables,players,level

It queries every minute. However, over the past few days, the results have been inconsistent. Example:

At 10:02, run A is the most recent run (first run returned, because orderby=verify-date). At 10:05, run B is the most recent run, which has a date that is earlier than run A (in fact, run A can not be found in the query results). At 10:06, run A is the most recent run again.

Since I'm using the verify-time to determine if there are new runs to process, the result is runs being "new" multiple times over the course of 5-10 minutes and being repeated.

Any sort of idea why this might be happening? It only started a few days ago.

Evening/Morning all,

The practice ROM is a nice, new tool. It's great for practice. However, it is not valid for submissions (mainly IL submissions - no one has tried to submit the full game on the practice ROM). Rules will be updated to reflect this soon.

Thanks!

And if you're not on Windows, I recently made a cross platform equivalent of NintendoSpy: http://mattbraddock.com/nincid/

Me and xenkaroshi put together a spreadsheet that organizes GB games into categories based on run time, in case you want to get into GB speedrunning, but aren't sure what game to play.

Since this is a GB game, can GB/SGB2/GBP be added as platforms? GBC as the only one doesn't make sense.

Being a GB game, can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as platforms? Having only GBC doesn't make much sense.

Since the Game Boy version is an actual Game Boy game, can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as valid platforms? At least GB. Having GBC doesn't make much sense.
