Good evening everyone. Cmdr here for the moderator team at the Wii Sports Resort leaderboards. We apologize for the lateness in the rules package changes for June, and we thank you for your patience.

This month we tackled some pretty important topics that had a chance to really shake up a lot of the categories. I'll go through them all here.

First thing is first, we are going to overhaul the category extensions leaderboards. This will be finished by Sunday, July 1st. Please be paitent with us at this time.

Our first new category is:

Swordplay Showdown ILs

From popular demand, we are going to have Swordplay Showdown IL's on the Category extensions leaderboards. These will be under the "Individual Levels" tab. Timing will begin on selecting the level, and end on the last swing. to 100% the level. If you choose to use a full Swordplay Showdown run, and use a individual level from in the middle of the run, timing begins after getting 100% on the previous level. Yes, that is a pretty massive penalty. The rules are free to change once we get our science guy to check timing. But for now, timing begins after getting 100% on the previous level.

This was controversial, but I believe it is better for the WSR as a whole:

All Courses Golf and All Courses Frisbee Golf changes to 18 holes + Special

This means timing will begin when selecting "Eighteen Holes" and ends when making it in the 21st hole (3rd hole of special). Doing all of the 3 holes was smart in theory, but led to a un-enjoyable run. This does mean if you can use your time for the Special holes on the CE leaderboards.

Lastly, for the betterment of the community:

Wii Sports Club has been added to the Wii Sports Series Discord

This will be official about Thursday, June 28th at 12:00am. With the additions of GhostT, Alaskaxp2, Gameland, and Wipeoutjack, we feel like Wii Sports Club can solidly be in the Wii Sports Series Discord, without it being completely useless. This does mean that we are adding a new mod to the mod team. So welcome Wipeoutjack7!

Here are somethings that we considered, but overall axed:

Multiple players being used in All Sports/All Categories/Cycling runs

The strats found by Tendog, although could shave over 5 seconds of Cycling and Canoeing each, was voted to not be allowed. My personal reason, and I think something that the mod team would share with me, is that this gives a really big advantage to those with the money to afford 4 Wii Remotes with Wii Motion Plus (used, that is at least $80, new that is almost $200). This is something that we may bring up later, but I feel like not for the foreseeable future.

Scoreboard for Power Cruising

This is something that again we all seemed to agree shouldn't be added. If SRC gets a high scores site for itself, this is something that probably will be added immediately. However with the current leaderboard setup, will not be added at this time.

If you have any ideas for categories or rules changes, please comment down below here or on the Discord to come up to be voted on for July. Remember to join the Wii Sports Series Discord! It is the best way to stay up to date with your favorite Wii Sports Series runners.

We also want to wish Cmdr, Plyd, Alaska, Wipeout, Bandow, Jimmy, realim, Tendog, Tyler, Gameland, and Prax good luck as they all will be participating in the speedrunning marathon, ResortFest International 2018. These runs will take place July 13th-July 15th, raising money for the Flint Water Crisis. Cmdr, Plyd, Alaska, Bandow, Tendog, Tyler, Gameland, and Prax will be doing Wii Sports Series runs, so go out cheer them on.

That is all for the rules changes, for June 27th, 2018. I'm Cmdr, and we will catch you guys, next time. And remember, to the beach.
