The Bears community experienced a triumph last weekend: the successful completion of its first-ever major tournament, bridging a generational gap with a magical interview with its creator, Ed Magnin, and culminating in the crowning of its first World Champion, Tetris_Roo.

Where was FlashTheorie?

He hasn't joined the game's Discord server. He hasn't purchased any of the official tournament merchandise. He didn't respond to requests for him to play in, commentate, or even simply watch the World Championship. He hasn't even asked anyone how it went, after the fact.

Given the above, and given that he has provably approved runs without even looking at them, I can't help but wonder why this person still is the Supermod of this game.

I'm calling for FlashTheorie to do the right thing and to step down as Supermod of this game, so that those who actually care about it, its records, and its community can shepherd it through its new era of prominence in the overall speedrunning community.

We are committed to crowning a world champion in 2021! So, I'm pleased to announce that the 1st Annual Extreme Sports with the Berenstain Bears World Championship will be held on February 20th, 2021!

Due to what is likely to continue to be an unstable situation regarding travel and gathering in early 2021, this tournament will have to be held online. However, this does open up the tournament to players worldwide who might otherwise be unable to attend in person.

It will be held on http://www.twitch.tv/MonthlyTetris. As we finalize the details around the tournament format and qualification scheme, we'll keep everyone updated.

3, 2, 1, BEARS!

I have been running the Time Trials categories for a while now and was disappointed to learn that these categories aren't available for this game. I have a few recorded runs that I believe are WRs but there's nowhere to post them. Any chance of this happening soon?
