In this contest, a map will be chosen for speedrunning. Then the winner's frame count will be the map next played. If the map has been delisted or is impossible to beat, the second fastest competitor's frame count will serve as the next speedrunning map.

Example:
Arachnid's Pinball, map 000001, is chosen originally. Goflkid gets a framecount of 301 and wins the round. Now, map 301, Really Hard Level by dantheman, is chosen for speedrunning.

Rules

1. You must submit a new speedrun. Old demos do not count.
2. There is a 3-day deadline. If you miss the deadline three times, you are eliminated.
3. The winner of each round gets a point, to be tallied. First to 25 points wins the contest and gets a special sig bar.

good idea, but a problem is that maps over 2000 probably wont be seen, and maps from 1-2000 are kinda. well, not to great.

What if you add a 0 to the end each time. Or the winner picks a number to put on the end.

You didn't make the deadline clear. First, you expressed the time with Eastern time instead of the universal UTC. So I had to search when is 1 am 16 March converted to UTC. And I saw it's at 18 (6 pm) 15 March. My time zone is UTC+1 so I added one hour, but you get the point. So, after the deadline, I was the only one submitted my speedrun. I also saw that Meta_Ing submitted it's score after the deadline (I know it's after because I checked yesterday after the deadline and no one but me has submitted, and now he has a record there). So that confused me, a lot. So, please make the deadline more clear from now on, and if I'm not late, I improved my record a bit (1176):

1 day is rather short for one map to speedrun. If anybody is busy with school or something like this, he doesn't have a chance to win the contest.
Also I agree with EdoI about the time zone.

I'm in.
So is the the first round over, or does it still run?
Anyway, I'll submit a run.

I'll call it about 3 days...that should be enough time that specific hours don't matter.

Well, if I'm gonna start off this round, might as well do it right. Here's a sub-300 frame demo for you all to chew on.

[16:24] <@golfkid> I'm pretty sure I will literally scream if I die on the last column of 78-4 at this point
[16:25] <trance> Oh, yeah. That level.
[16:29] <@golfkid> lol
[16:30] <@golfkid> It looks so simple
[16:30] <@golfkid> But it says "NO! I will rape your sanity!"

I made a mistake in the map number, it was actually supposed to be 1060. However, as everyone has already submitted demos (or a large portion) we will continue.
