@Dangerless sorry wat

Since when is it a requirement that marathons have to have a cause

ART TA SERIES 1 was the exact same marathon and got a page a few months ago

England

UKSM is requesting two pages

Name: UKSM (United Kingdom Speedrunning Marathon) Venue: Insomnia64 (NEC - Birmingham) Dates: 19th-22nd April (Marathon style 19th, Tutorial/Get Into Speedrunning 20th-22nd) Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/uksmlive Moderators: Ozotuh Purpose: SpecialEffect (UK based charity aiding people with disabilities play games)

Name: UKSM (United Kingdom Speedrunning Marathon) Venue: EGX (ExCeL - London) Dates: 17th-20th October Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/uksmlive Moderators: Ozotuh Purpose: SpecialEffect (UK based charity aiding people with disabilities play games)

@warm_ham I will amend my post, when I asked for a cause it was because the marathon is a single day, if this marathon is simply being self-handled/hosted (i.e you play nearly all the games yourself) I don't believe it is a good candidate. That other marathon you mention is slightly longer and it appears to be the usual type of marathon most people would expect...which a good thing. I'm basically asking for more information on this particular marathon and what exactly you are doing with it as seen in the first post of this thread.

@Ozotuh https://www.speedrun.com/United_Kingdom_Speedrunning_Marathon_-_Insomnia64 and https://www.speedrun.com/United_Kingdom_Speedrunning_Marathon_-_EGX I wasn't quite sure how to go about differentiating the two but I can make changes if asked.

Hello, I would like having a page for "Star Mario Marathon". This is an event made by me, where I'm going to gather people with an RTMP server and speedrun Mario games together since I will soon be able to stream. Stream link: https://www.twitch.tv/starmario02 dates: 16 August 2019-18 August 2019 Mods: only me for now Charity: none.

Gotcha @dangerless. I'm happy to clarify the event a little more. I host on my channel and handle game submissions but there are about 12 others who participated in the first one and many of them will participate again. The discords got up to 16 people in it right now. I would only be playing through 1-2 games max during the event.

I could attempt to make it a 2-day event but the last one was initially a Saturday/Sunday thing and just turned into a 1-day event. If making it multiple days is necessary for approval I'm happy to try and push for additional content. Thank you for following up.

@warm_ham Thank you for clarifying, the length of the marathon only has minor importance we just didn't want a marathon if most of it is just something you'd see from a usual 24-hour marathon on twitch (self-running a game(s), etc) since that's just extremely excessive. https://www.speedrun.com/ART_TA_SERIES_2 I'm not entirely sure if you wanted to do two days now so I set it as such, though I'm perfectly okay if you want it as only a single day in this case just let me know and I will change it to a single day.

Marathon Request :

Speedrun Rumble is the successor of Exploudathon 1,2 and 3. I'm rebranding because it's not about me anymore, it's about everyone who wants to get to a live marathon which is the main reason why Speedrun Rumble exist. Speedrun Rumble Production will also be helping in other marathon and tournaments but that'll be for later. For now i'm focusing on Speedrun Rumble 2019 and i'll be recruiting a bit of staff this time around. The reason why i want to help people get to live events is because it's way too fun and i think everyone should be able to get to one if they are determined to go ^^.
