The mod team has taken the results given from a recent poll in discord and will enforce these new criteria

FPS Display will be REQUIRED for the following timegates on the six main categories;

All Story Missions - Sub 1:25
Any% - Sub 55
100% - Sub 3:10
ASM NG+ - Sub 1:15
ASM NMW - Sub 1:40
All Tasks NLR - Sub 2:15

Furthermore, FPS Display will be REQUIRED for podium placements (1st-4th) in Misc. & Category Extensions

We have an easily accessible FPS Display mod for the Mod Launcher developed by Proddy if you don't want to use more external programs for speedrun purposes. This can be obtained from the Resources tab from Speedrun.com

Recordings of speedrun sessions will NOT BE REQUIRED for verification purposes

Game Audio will be REQUIRED for ALL RUN SUBMISSIONS

These new criteria will start being enforced at 9:00AM GMT 27/3

All runs submitted before this change and all runs that are currently on the boards are not effected by this

The community has passed a vote on using an updated autosplitter. This new autosplitter removes the small loads while entering an interior which the previous one did not. Throughout an ASM run, this will be saving 2-10 seconds dependent on FPS and your PC hardware.
The autosplitter should be updated on your livesplit automatically, if you find it isn't working as intended, please join and ask in the discord server.

The signups for the 2022 All Story Mission Tournament have now been opened!
https://forms.gle/scwyYGM7hBGSZiD38

Once you have signed-up, you will be given the ASM Tournament role. This will grant access to the asm-tournament-2022 channel. If you have not been given the role within 24 hours from signing up, please @MeMe in community-events .

This is an open tournament, and you can join no matter your skill level. There is only 1 requirement.

1) Be able to complete (at least) one leaderboard-viable ASM run prior to the tournament, using the "ASM 2022 Tournament Verification" mod, using verification code “ASM2022” (the default seed). This will be used for seeding. Please record runs and post a vod (YouTube or Twitch) in asm-tournament-2022 , along with the splits. You can submit multiple runs, but only your best willl count. This is a requirement. If you do not do this, you will not be able to participate.

The mod, along with a tutorial, is pinned in asm-tournament-2022. It should also be noted that the mod is whitelisted, so if you pb it is still valid.

In the signup form, you can register interest for both commentating and restreaming. To have a successful tournament, we will need as many people as possible of both these roles, especially restreamers. There is a restreamer json file with a short set-up guide for new restreamers. If you wish to have either of these roles but not join the tournament, please contact me.

The explicit format of the bracket will be released once the mods know the number of sign-ups. However, the general schedule will be:

- Close sign-ups / seeding time: Friday, 1st of July
- Relay 2, World Cup Race and Draw Show: Saturday, 2nd of July (time TBA)
- Group Stage: 4th- 25th of July
- Bracket Begin: 25th of July

A document will be released, regarding the format and other tournament information.

Thank you and good luck!

The following changes have been made to the Level Leaderboard, as voted by the community:

• Timing starts on the first frame of the level being fully loaded. Homer 1 Level Timings remain the same as before.
• A "Full Game" Run variable has been included. "Full Game" Runs will be distinguished by showing "Full Game" splits on the screen OR by having a "Full Game" attempt up until that point shown. This variable only applies to ASM, Any%, NMW and All Tasks NLR.
