Results from last year

I'm about 90% sure I'll participate in this, don't expect me to do so hot on all these levels though..

Sure I might as well have a go. Same as xeefy, unsure how well I will actually do but hey maybe I'll get some PBs

I think I'll try too.

If it's possible, I would suggest changing the date to a weekend day because more people may be able to join. I'll (probably) be open on Monday though I'll have to get up earlier than usual. -_-
If I can't participate, I wish good luck to everyone else.

I will be on vacation during that time so I can't participate. I guess I'll just have to wait until next year...

Not sure how much time I will have to play, but sure, I'll join.

Great to see that there is interest here

Well I wasn't available this weekend so I let Rigel set the date.

Well you don't have to be there at the start, I don't expect anyone to actually play for 24h - it's just the given time slot. I wanted to have it at 24h so that people all over the world could participate, and so that the start time of day wouldn't matter.

Finally someone who uses GMT

Please note that DST is happening in many places at this time, so you can use this website to see exactly when we start wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

I will be on vacation during that time so I can't participate. I guess I'll just have to wait until next year...

You can start your own race too, no rules against that; maybe a MBU/MBP race to have some variety?

Alright, I'm just about to head off to bed so I can get my precious 8 hours of sleep, but before I go good luck everyone!

I wish I'd have some more time to practice beforehand, but oh well I should be fairly familiar with the levels anyway even if it's some time since I played most of them.

In association with Kalle I made a Google Document as an official leaderboard for times etc, so check it out:

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nr2K_Lbg...Hk4/edit?usp=sharing

Enter times in this format: (seconds,thousandths). So a 00:04,331 is written as 4,331. A 01:13,001 is 73,001.

Though keep in mind I made that at 4 in the morning, so it may have some bugs still, and maybe I'll add a few things tomorrow if I find it necessary (and can think of anything useful).

The race just finished, final score:

1. Kalle29 - Le_Kal - 12,726,154
2. hPerks - ShrekP - 12,576,993
3. Rigel - el_rig - 12,509,031
4. Xedron - Xeff_dron - 9,842,697
5. El_Robert - The_Robert - 9,142,173
6. J@ckrb - R@ck_jb - 6,525,241
7. Regislian - Regis - 3,209,831

Also if anyone is crazy enough to do this again next year, what should be done differently?

Good job guys! I started to participate in the race, but couldn't finish it. I had made another acount, Yuge, so you can go ahead and ban that.

Hehe nice, thanks for hosting this awesome event! Pretty much everything you see past mid-advanced was completely rushed due to my arm hurting like hell, but I think I accomplished a lot I didn't think I would, like getting the Championship record on a level that had previously been one of my worst (Marble Materials Lab) as well as some other decent runs. GG to Kalle, winning yet another tournament .
