Introducing the Wii Series Olympics, a brand new LTA competition across the Wii Series of games!

# What is the Wii Series Olympics?

Throughout February to May, runners have one week to complete runs of a game in the series. Runners get to choose the category they want via a vote held in the community Discord server. These can be existing categories or unique challenges devised by the speedrun moderators.

This event will take a particular focus on time barriers, with each one awarding ranking points towards the overall leaderboard. Bronze, Silver and Gold are fixed times, starting off beginner-friendly at Bronze. The top 5 runners at the end of the event win a share of the prize pool.

# Which games are included?

The Wii Series covers the various first-party games branded under the "Wii..." name by Nintendo. These include the Wii Sports series, Wii Party, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wii Music. Even the revival entry Nintendo Switch Sports is in there!

The most popular games will appear twice to give people multiple chances to play. These will appear in pairs and will last 2 weeks.

We've held events like this in the past, but this time we're going one step further...

# The dynamic Platinum time barrier

For the few who manage to conquer the Gold barrier, there is one final step to achieve perfection - the Platinum barrier. This is set by 1st place and moves as the top time is improved. Only 1st place can achieve Platinum and score the full 1,000 points. Nothing is certain until the end of play for the week!

# Encouraging development and new experiences

Events like this are great for encouraging both newcomers and existing runners to try something new. Many people opt to speedrun one game or sub-series, for example Wii Sports games. However, the Olympics format takes each player's top 5 best performances for an overall score, allowing the playing field to spread between single-game specialists and all-rounders.

The Wii Series is highly accessible for speedrunning since the majority of games are playable on the original Wii, with a range of resources available to get started.

More info about the event can be found in the community Discord server, or alternatively you can simply submit to the Wii Series Olympics categories as they pop up on SRC during each period. We'd love to see you there!
