A couple of days ago, on our Discord server, we revealed our Neon White Events Twitch channel. We're going to use this channel to stream our first event, the Neon White Individual Level Tournament!

Mirroring the announcement post from our Discord: (join btw, discord.gg/neonwhitespeedruns)

The event will be a double elimination style tournament. There will be no qualifiers; your seed is determined by your Global Neon Rank when the bracket is made (compared to other entrants). Matches will be played live on our events channel! (https://www.twitch.tv/neonwhiteevents)

Thank you all for your time!

A final note: In order to participate in this event, you must join both our events Discord and our speedrunning Discord. A link to the speedrun Discord was posted above, and a link to our events Discord can be found in the #rules-and-info channel from our speedrunning Discord. Additionally, you must be able to at LEAST record with OBS (streaming is PREFERRED) and play at the same time. If this is unfeasible for you, please contact the speedrun.com moderators to see if we can accommodate you.

Thanks for reading, and good luck to our competitors! Be there October 16th :D

The leaderboards have officially been opened to submissions. Thank you for your patience!

Main Leaderboards: Level Rush: All level rush modes, from White's Heaven Rush to Mikey's Hell Rush. Explore the subcategories for more information.

New File: Any% and 100%, starting from a new file. MUST have file timer visible. See category rules for instructions.

Individual Levels: The individual level board is going to be used for chapter runs. Start from the first level, end with the last. Time will be combined IGT of all levels.

For our individual level world records, explore the spreadsheet leaderboards found in the resources tab.

Category Extensions: We are awaiting our category extensions board, but there will be two categories to start - Death% (die in Hell Rush as fast as possible excluding void deaths and running out of fist charges) and Idiot% (from new file, get to Idiot Island in Hellevator as fast as possible). File timer must be on for Idiot%.

See more information about categories in their rulesets, or our Discord. https://discord.gg/SFnWweK8r9

Leaderboards will be shut down temporarily. This is so we have time to figure out what categories will be added, and rulesets for those categories. Leaderboards will likely reopen a week (give or take) after release day. We still encourage you to come up with your own speedruns and do them to your heart's content! Though, do note we will not take run submissions on our speedrun.com page during this period
