The 2018 French Championship of Spelunky is coming soon!
 
 
Beginning Saturday, March 3rd, at 2 PM French time (8 AM Eastern), the reigning French Champion Vlad will attempt to defend his title against fellow countryman Polo in a match featuring individual races of the 14 main speedrunning categories of Spelunky.
 
 
The main event will be streamed on the MossRanking Twitch Channel.  For the first portion of the event, Vlad and Polo will occasionally share their thoughts on mic with each other and the viewers.  The finale will begin at 6 PM French time (Noon Eastern), with ix, Kinnijup, Brutwarst, and Shingraywords joining in with "expert commentary!"
 
The Rules:
 
Each category will be ran as a separate race. Both players have to complete the a chosen category during the alloted time.
The goal of the competition is to score more MossPoints than the other competitor after the 14 races.
Points are scored using the current MossRanking formula as if the two runners were starting from a fresh MossRanking account. This includes the feature that only the 10 best categories count for points, while additional categories only offer completion bonuses.
Runs will be timed using the in-game timer, not as a real time attack. During the alloted time, multiple attempts are allowed, and the fastest completed run will cout for MossPoints.
A time done during a race can count for several categories if the categories are compatible. For example, if a player completes a 4:00 run during the Any% segment, then finishes a 3:30 during the No Teleporter Any% segment, the 3:30 will count for both categories. However, if a player does a Low% run during the Any% segment, this time will not count for the Low% category.
Failing to complete a category during the alloted time will result in Z E R O M O S S P O I N T S scored by the player.
