United StatesHello everyone! On behalf of the mod team, here are our new rules and new categories for the month of April!
I do want to ask for any of the categories revolving around time, please do not add milliseconds unless it is IGT (Such as Cycling and Quack%). It helps keep the leaderboards looking clean. Once categories start getting close, then milliseconds will come in handy, but one or two times with milliseconds out of 25 looks like me my 7th grade year at the homecoming dance, awkward.
Rule Changes: Cycling can now be two players! Same leaderboards. Drag a friend through a lifetime of sadness.
New Categories: We are reapproving 2500 and adding 1000 to it. These will be IL on the main leaderboard We are reapproving All Stamps. These will also be IL on the main leaderboard Approved points-based sport like Archery (All 3 Difficulties), Return Challenge Table Tennis, Bowling (All 3), 3-Point Basketball, Wakeboarding (All 3 Difficulties), Frisbee Dog, Golf, Frisbee Golf. Depending on how certain sports go, we will add them in due time, but if everyone can make it out, we probably won't add said sport.
If you have already done some of these runs, send them my way on Discord, and I'll work on adding them between my editing runs.

We want to thank everyone again! We just hit 75 runners, and it is so cool to see who has came from the different communities. Have a fantastic day and remember to keep on speedrunning! -Cmdr
One of the ideas in our meeting coming up is a scoreboard as well. To where thigns like Return Challenge, Archery, Wakeboarding, etc would be included
We have toyed around with the idea and technically have approved for getting Pro in each of the Bowling events. However, not even I would want to run them. But feel free to run them, and when we get together this week for our monthly mod meeting, we will figure out how we wanna add it.
I normally don't like to go to these measures, especially as the current moderator for this game IS active (been on 6 hours ago, submitted a run 10 days ago), however has not responded to any fourm request we have approached him with, has not responded to the YouTube comment I left him with a contact request, and his Discord and Twitch links do not work.
The game is Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The link is here: https://www.speedrun.com/Mario_and_Sonic_At_The_London_2012_Olympic_Games/full_game
We have had someone (Either myself or user SonicSam) attempt to contact him for some category requests for the past 2 months. He has been on, verified runs, but yet to even respond to any of the contact requests we send out.
I have a good amount of experience in being moderators for games, I would be happy to take over, but I think we all just want him to respond and allow us to contact him.
Sorry if this is a bother to anyone, just trying to save a game from becoming dead.
Best Regards, Cmdr
Thanks for the help MrFun! I wanted to at least try on here before I contacted a moderator. I'll love if there would be IL leaderboards on here, that way it is available to many different users. I'll probably be in contact with a moderator come Wednesday or so. I don't want to move websites, because the whole point of adding IL leaderboards here is so that the game doesn't die out on the speedrun.com platform.
Sorry if this seems completely rude, I've tried a non existent Twitch page, a non existent Discord tag, and a YouTube Channel that hasn't been active in months.
Hello, my name is Cmdr, I was just offering my help on the game. I know SonicSam has offered help in adding IL leaderboards to this game for the different events, and I am going to offer my help as well. I don't see any reason not to include them. I have experience on different games, most notably one of the moderators for the Wii Sports Resort leaderboards. Even if the moderation is temporarily, I'd love to help out and add the IL categories for this leaderboards.
Best Regards, Cmdr
It is really challenging. Bandow spent something like 15-20 minutes to beat her. I twisted my wrist enough that I had to stop in the middle of trying to beat her. She is the Champion after all.
The wind is randomized for every hole. The range should be from 0-30mph. Being locked at 10mph sounds weird, but I'll get in contact with our PAL mod and see if it is a version thing. My suggest is to play a bit and it might be a rank thing, so the more "xp" points you have maybe that will help.
I think I can disagree that giveup% doesn't require skill. To do it well and as fast as possible, requires quite a bit of skill. It's an idea just to kind of give a boost to the popularity of speedrunning Wii Sports, but if you want the game to die off then be my guest.
Hello everyone! On behalf of the Wii Sports Resort Mods, I'd like to announce some rules changes, new categories, and some over all life improvements to the leaderboards. This was a democratic vote with the inclusion of Plyd823.
Of course with anything on these leaderboards, certain aspects are subject to change. And we will let you know if anything important comes up. Feel free to join the Wii Sports Discord for discussion and to chat!
Leaderboard Changes:
We will be moving the Golf GiveUp% and Golf- Blind categories under Golf as a sub category. This will clean up the boards for the new categories that we are adding.
We are also moving Frisbee Golf GiveUp% under the Frisbee Golf Category.
NEW CATEGORIES:
Beat the Champion- Speed Slice
Power Cruising- 6 Stages
Bowling Pro Class- Just getting Pro in either Bowling, 100 Pins, and Spin (these will be sub categories). (I am personally not going to add this category to the board till someone does one of the runs.)
Golf/Frisbee Golf- All Courses (This is the 21 Holes suggested. The stipulation here is that you must select EACH 3 hole course in your run. You cannot do a 18 hole run then run Special. This is because the wind on Special is usually consistent, such with the winds on the 3 hole courses.)
Power Cruising- 5 Balloon Challenge (Finding the 5 Balloons in Free Roam)
Canoeing- Quack% (Finding all 10 baby ducks in Free Roam Canoeing, the game actually keeps track of your IGT for you)
Rules Changes:
Cycling- Now for Cycling, if you have a 15:30 IGT or under, you must have video proof
Swordplay Showdown- If you have a 17 minutes or under, you must have video proof
Golf GiveUp%- Runs 16 minutes and under requires video proof
Golf Blind- All runs require video proof
So this is our changes. We want to thank all of the community members for your continued support and happy speedrunning!

I was looking at other speedrunning events near where I live (Missouri), and this is one of the options that came up. However I do have a lot of question. I would love to participate and do some runs. Such as:
Is it streamed? (I have friends around the US that want to watch).
I read it was in conjunction with 2D Con, so I would need to register for that correct?
I have several games in mind to run, with several categories. I assume I would just submit them here and mods would decide what would and would not work?
You will know when the last person falls down on Stage 10 as the screen will slow down and at the bottom you'll have "100%". If you still have concerns, one of us mods can re-time it for ya when you submit it.
As we don't have this as a category yet, feel free to put your runs here so if/when it does become a category, I'll personally add your runs to the boards.
Similarly to Wii Sports Resort, which seems to be booming with all the different categories one person can run. I present a lot of fun, hope you enjoy.
It works for Frisbee Golf as well.
I am agreeing to all of these things, otherwise the game for me is going back on the shelf of "already did runs for."

Wii Sports Resort Leaderboards- https://www.speedrun.com/wsr
Just two things I want to discuss real fast.
When submitting a run, please only submit IN REAL TIME only. We aren't going to deny your run obviously, but just makes our jobs a bit easy and keeps the leaderboards cleaner. The only exception to this is Cycling, which as an in game timer that is more accurate than trying to do in real time. However for cycling, you will need to have a in real time to submit with it.
For all the great people who run 18 Hole Golf, you can now use your 18 Hole runs for individual 9 hole runs on the extended categories leaderboard. Resort is normal, time starts at the menu clicking "Eighteen Holes", for Classic time can start after you make it in the 9th hole. However, this is 4 seconds longer than just doing 9-Hole Classic, but you now have that option at least.
However, you will not be able to submit 3 Hole Runs with your 18 or 9 Hole runs as proof. The wind changes for these 3 hole runs.
This is all, happy speedrunning!
