Duck Season: Speedrun Contest

[Overbeing]

Welcome to Duck Season!
I’ll bring the platforms if you bring the racing.

A prize supported Speed Running event is upon us! Only a silly goose would pass up on these challenges and the prizes they reward. Each level is published under the profile "The Duck", and there may even be a Deathmatch and Hat Attack worth doing while we are at it.

Early this year, I started making The Duck Campaign, so this is its' end of year celebration. There are 32 levels in the series as of the making of this contest. I'm excited to see them get thoroughly destroyed.


Event Schedule and Structure:
There will be 3 parts of Duck Season over 3 weeks, where prizes will be earned each week and awarded at the conclusion of the event.

Week 1: Right Now-Sunday, December 29th
Week 2: Monday, December 30th-Sunday, January 5th
Week 3: Monday, January 6th-Sunday, January 12th

All submitted times must be in by each Monday, 7AM Mountain Standard Time (the 30th, 6th and 13th) . This will hopefully allow for late night players and time zone differences.

Links to Videos of the top 5 speedruns performed on each level at the end of each week will be linked on the updated leaderboard and will be awarded with prizes at the end of the event. The event leaderboard will be updated each Monday (once I get it all put together), so be sure to check back in and see what the other racers are cooking up. Any runs that become inaccessible to view at any point of the event will be disqualified.

Recording a Run: Record a video of the run and upload it to YouTube, public or unlisted. Then link the run in your spreadsheet as well as posting the time stated from the “In Game Timer”. If the clip of the run is in a longer uploaded video, please have the link given be a timestamp to bring the judge to the right time in the video.

Submitting Your Runs: Please make a copy of This Sheets Document and fill it out as you compete. Add your name to the title of your copy of the sheet. Your sheet will be due before Monday at 7AM MST each week. To submit your sheet, send a copy to [email protected].


Rules and Restrictions:
-There is a 200 Stat Total limit to help accessibility, this can be achieved at level 50 or using the extra stats from Happy Hour. You may distribute them however you would like.
-Must enter as player 1 and be the only player in the level.
-No clipping through blocks or use of other unintended glitches.
-No Super Flying Cowboy Mode (besides the cowboy level)  (The levels are set to trigger it 1% of the time)
-Any hat that is not banned by the level itself is legal. Cowboy and Artifact are banned on all levels for accessibility issues.
-Updates to rules may change during the event, but only to make things easier or add more prize support if the need arises based on player feedback. None of your progress will be undone.
-No trying to beat the rules or the system. Be nice, I’m just a duck after all…
-Consider rating levels that you enjoy 5 stars. Or not. But at least consider considering it.


Prize Structure:
There will be points earned throughout the event that will give out points. At the end of Duck Season, you will receive 100,000 Experience for each Point you earn.
At the end of each week, the following points will be given out for each of the 30 competitive levels:

1st, 5 points and 1 World Record
2nd, 4 points
3rd, 3 points
4th, 2 points
5th, 1 point

(That means that 135,000,000 exp will be awarded this way!)
At the end of the event, racers will be awarded the following parts based on the number of World Records that they obtained.

1 or more World Records: Epic Candy Head
3 or more World Records: Epic Bird Set
5 or more World Records: Epic Blobfish Head


For each level that you complete and submit a run for by the end of the event, you get 1 point. (Playing through each level, filling out and submitting the sheet will earn you an easy 3,000,000 exp.)

Each level has a “Duck Time” for you to try to beat. Each Duck Time that you beat will award you 3 points. (9,000,000 exp if you can beat them all.)


At the end of the event, your Cumulative Time will be added up and the top 20 finishers will be awarded with (Cumulative time will only count if you have submitted a run on each level. It will be your fastest time on each level+50 seconds-1 second for every egg you obtain on 2.9 Alien Egg):
1st: 60 points and The Epic Artifact Hat
2nd: 57 points
3rd: 54 points
… and so on
20th: 3 points

Event within the event:
1.6 Deathmatch and 2.3 Hat Attack, by The Duck, will also award you prizes. In the sheet, upload videos of you playing each level with 3 other participants (a 4 player match with no alt accounts used. You don't need to win, you just need to participate.).
This will award you the Epic Snowman Set!

Week 1 Results:

I recieved sheets from Maniloquent, Stunt, Master Raiden, JBG, Truc, EpicMidget, Battle Hawk, Ande, Panther, Mikko M, and Zandee. If your sheet was not included here, but you participated in week 1, please reach out to me asap.

If a record on the leaderboard looks like it didn't follow all of the rules, please let me know. If I was contacted about it and made an incorrect ruling, the run in question will still get the same points, but all runs below will be moved up a position. While the disallowed run will still get points this week, it will not be eligable for points in the weeks going forwards.

If anything isn't working or looks wrong, also let me know asap.

DUCK SEASON. WABBIT SEASON. DUCK SEASON. WABBIT SEASON.

[Overbeing]

For Clarification on the spreadsheet, The only things you will be entering is your Personal Best in column C, the video proof in column D.
Then at the end of each week, once the leaderboards are up, you will fill in your points in columns G,H and I.

[Overbeing]

Some rulings so far!

My goal is to be flexible and consistent. Some clarifications feel necessary. 

1.3 Objective: you May get past the move block. This was intended.
   

1.10 Push: You may Not clip over the first move block. This was unintended and kinda clipping because you are moving up instead of dropping through like in the one above.
   

2.4 COWBOY: There are Intended cuts throughout the map to clip through using the cowboy hat. As long as you aren't clipping out of the level somehow, they are intended.
   

Reroutes Are allowed!   You may shortcut as long as you don't perform an unintended glitch or clip.

There have been other rulings given, but I don't want to give away some of the creative solutions players are coming up with, so you'll have to tune back in in a week when the first leaderboard gets published.

If you want to know if your idea is allowed, just message me on discord and I'll do my best.

[Overbeing]

Both of these are intentional

A number of the levels have shortcuts that have been found, would you guys prefer that all levels stay in their current state for the entire event, or would you like some patches to go out to specific levels for week 2?

I was thinking of having a poll for each cut level to let you lot decide for each one if you would like any patches. I'm happy either way.


Also, I have done my best to give rulings for what potential glitches, clips, exploits, reroutes and/or gameplay quirks are allowed. My goal has been to allow and reward creativity but be consistent. There are some things that I have given the OK during week one that may not be allowed for week 2 based on your feedback. If a level on the leaderboard uses a strategy that you think shouldn't be allowed based on the rules, please address it and I will make changes for week 2 as well as award a tie to the run in question and the run directly behind it in the leaderboard. That way the player with the run that will no longer be allowed won't be punished for me allowing it and the other players wont be punished either.

Please let me know what you think, if you have question or concerns and how you feel about hunting ducks for sport. I mean hunting duck times for sport. Hunting ducks should be a crime. Who would do such a thing?

In case anyone wants to see me suffer through all levels in one sitting (Holiday Dash flashbacks and PTSD), here it is in all it glory

I may or may not have watched this whole video

Due to the poll results, Heavy and To and Fro have both recieved patches. the poll will remain up just in case anyone wants to suggest any other changes to any other levels.

Duck Season Update:
1.3 Objective's leaderboard has had a change, The leading run was using stats that were higher than the cap of 200. Therefore, @Stunt now has the WR on the map!
Please adjust your points on your sheet as well @jbg, @The boi, troi (Epicmidget), @Master Raiden, and Mikko M.
1.3 Objective:
1 Stunt 23.21
2 JBG 25.65
3 EpicMidget 26.06
4 Master Raiden 27.62
5 Mikko M 28.4

It also looks like 1.13 Heavy was allowing the Artifact Hat for some reason, even though it was showing as banned in the level editor. The rules of the event to point out that it is not legal on any map, so hopefully nobody had been taking advantage of it. It looks to be fixed (restricted) now, apologies for any confusion.

[Overbeing]

It was another great week of Duck Season. So much hunting! New shortcuts, new routes and the runs are looking cleaner and cleaner.


Remember that points for the leaderboard will be given out one more time at the end of next week.
But the Grand Prize will go to the player with the Lowest Sum of Times. So make sure that you get a run submitted for each level to qualify for points based on your submission there.

If you have yet to complete your submissions for the Deathmatch and Hat Attack, remember to get that done before the end of the event.
