United StatesA total of 6 new categories and 29 new subcategories have been added! These can all be found in the miscellaneous section. Enjoy!
• Fishing (6) • Golfing (4) • Trolley (10) • Racing (5) • Achievements (4) • Sad%
Additional info: • "Any%" and "100%" subcategories for playgrounds have been renamed to "All Toontasks" and "All Toontasks + Sidetasks" respectively. • An "All Sidetasks" subcategory has also been created for the playground categories. • Renamed all playground categories to no longer have "Toontasks" included in their name. • Condensed "8/9 Hidden Nameplates" and "All Hidden Nameplates" into a single category and all existing runs have been merged into newly created subcategories that go with it. • Rules for all new and existing subcategories in the full game leaderboard have been updated and cleaned up.
As requested by some of you, a subcategory for v1.3 and beyond has been created and set as the default for all categories (excluding managers). To what may be your displeasure however, this means most of the leaderboards will look empty for now until more 1.3+ runs pile up as time goes on.
Additionally, all existing runs that were submitted before the 1.3 update have been condensed into its own subcategory, which now basically acts as an archive. To view pre-1.3 runs, simply click the last dropdown under your category of choice (it should say "1.3+") and click "Pre 1.3".
We have officially opened a brand new server dedicated to TTR/TTCC speedrunning! Everyone is welcome to join, whether you like to do runs or just enjoy watching them. We'll generally be talking about strategies for various categories, all kinds of ways to optimize runs and save time, and we're more than happy to help new runners get started if they're interested in doing runs. See you there!

So a couple days ago I discussed with Zooms how we could update the rules for the playgrounds to make them more clear and consistent because they've been left untouched for a long time before I became mod just the other day. What we did originally was we went through the tasklines for all the playgrounds and at first we agreed to make it so that the runs should start and end according directly to the tasklines which are shown on the wiki. However, after receiving a bit of feedback from some of you, I realized that this change has made runs very inconsistent and it certainly was unfair for us to change the rules just as people were beginning to submit runs shortly before or as it happened.
The rules have now been updated once again so that the playground runs start and end while runners are still in the respective playgrounds, and the need to talk to Flippy at the beginning or end of the run is no more. This now means all the Boatyard runs that were submitted recently will not be rejected for that reason.
If there's any more suggestions or concerns you guys have regarding the current rules, we are open for discussion. We want to make sure everything is as consistent as possible!
Hey everyone! I'm a newly recruited mod and most of you probably know by now that runs are still currently awaiting verification, some of which have been pending for months at this point. While the verification queue is absolutely clogged right now due to a bit of ongoing mod inactivity, we are now beginning to slowly work on runs, starting with the older ones and working our way up to the new. That being said, rest assured that very soon, wait times will be significantly shorter and the queue will begin to speed up again. In the meantime, we ask everyone to wait just a little longer, it will be worth it. Thank you for your patience!
Times in milliseconds has been turned on and all 1-story building runs that have finished in 11 seconds have been retimed in milliseconds, so the leaderboard is now more accurate and all the runs are no longer tied.
If anyone has an 11-second run to submit, don't worry about putting in the milliseconds unless you just want to put in whatever your timer says if one was used. We will retime all runs as necessary.
So this game, and I'm sure pretty much everyone knows this, only has 2 currently active moderators, while all the others have been inactive for a long time. Now I think this really isn't a big deal at all, considering the number of runs that get submitted is not entirely huge, so having just 2 mods verify runs is probably good enough and the inactive mods wouldn't be hurting anything.
However, I've been noticing a few runs that have taken a bit too long (like at least a month) to get approved. A notable example would be Bluben's run (2nd place in TTC solo) where he submitted in May and it didn't get verified until August. Again, not a huge deal. As long as the mods remember to check submissions at SOME point, it's fine. But I personally would like to see things change a bit because I'm sure some people get a little frustrated that they have to wait so long for their runs to show up on the leaderboards.
The best thing to do in my opinion is add new mods and replace old ones if necessary. It can be done at any time and it's not urgent at all. I just feel like it should happen, either soon or eventually. I'm open to any further discussion from runners or active mods.
