We are hosting a special event for all of the SR community called "Time Trial Turmoil"

There will be TWO groups of players:
Players with more than 1000 hours and players with less than 1000 hours of playtime.

1000 hours is the cutoff point for SR Elevation, our program for players who are newer or not as experienced to the game.

ALL participants will be asked to submit times in all 17 official and 16 Curated Workshop maps from the beginning Friday, January 31, 2025 12:00 AM until Saturday, March 1, 2025 12:00 AM Pacific Standard Time.

In order to participate you will be REQUIRED to join the SR discord and look in the channel labelled "Time Trial Turmoil". There will be instructions and more details there.

JOIN THE Speedrunners OFFICIAL DISCORD HERE!

However... The TOP TEN players with the fastest average time with under 1000 hours of playtime will fight in a ladder style tournament with the victor earning entry into THE KING OF SPEED 2025 as seed 16. The TOP FIVE players with over 1000 hours will also fight in a ladder style tournament to earn the 15th seed.

There was a vote held to curate the current workshop that hasn't seen curation in a long time.

This vote was announced in this news post here and we have been speaking about curating said workshop for months.

Well.... The Curated Workshop Vote is DONE!

You may see the result HERE.

However, Here's a TL;DR for those who hate spreadsheets.

In order of most popular to least popular map, the following maps are going to be enabled for the first test season of the NEW "Curated Workshop" including Aztec and Titan from the Workshop contest:

• Oasis - Abyss
  
• Pitfall
  
• Texas Run' Em
  
• Snowed In
  
• Plantation
  
• City Run R2
  
• Dance Hall
  
• Club V
  
• Oceanslide
  
• Citadel
  
• Minery
  
• New Age City
  
• SpeedCity Nights
  
• Shore Enuff
  

The Test Season will last from the 15th of January until the end of March. We will be asking for feedback at the end of this period and be using it to adjust things accordingly.

The following maps have been REMOVED from the curated workshop playlist due to community feedback and voting:

• Granary
  
• Void
  
• Club House
  
• Sound Shiver
  
• Surfing in the Oasis
  
• Coastline
  
• Terminal
  
• Gift Store
  
• Lunar Colony
  

The following maps are going to be given a second chance at the curated workshop in a LIVE vote happening during the GRAND FINALS of The King of Speed 2025. The winning map will be added in the post KoS patch when we begin the Spring ELO season.

• Dash the Night
  
• Genetics
  
• Disco Lounge
  
• Oasis
  
• Dragon City
  
• WILD Rapids
  
• Nuclear XP
  
• Meteor City
  
• Skull Island Scram
  
• Promenade
  

The creators of these maps will be given time to edit and adjust them and we will show them all off throughout the second day of the tournament.

The Spring ELO season begins April 1st and will last until August. We will discuss more about the "other" events and everything for the upcoming future very soon.

Make sure to sign up for this month's SR Monthly as it's the NEXT TO LAST chance for you to earn your way into the King of Speed 2025.

Congratulations to Bensen and Derpp for getting their maps into the game's curated workshop playlist.

We are holding a voting and feedback period from today until the end of Saturday (Pacific Time). We will next week announce the 17 maps (15 from the feedback/curation + the three winners) which will make it into the new TEST season of the curated workshop. This lasts from the 15th of January until the end of March.

Leave feedback on this steam discussion please: https://steamcommunity.com/app/207140/discussions/2/595137443379819125

Moving forward, expect that the curated workshop list will have maps swapped in and out after major SR tournaments (The King of Speed/The Lord of the Runs) and between seasons (ELO and Post).

Reminder, The King of Speed begins on March 22nd and 23rd and we will have another awesome badge for you to get through supporting the prize pool of this event.
Also... There are only a handful of ways to "win" yourself a spot into the Top 10 (get top 2 in a SR monthly) before the community will be nominating and voting 5 players into The King of Speed 2025.

hint hint There is one last way to get in through the SR Elevation Program.
