Format: Custom Ranking determines who's the best.
You need to play big enough number of games
against big enough number of opponents
on big enough number of maps.
Maps: 25 maps (9 standard + 16 addons) selected through vote.
Classifications:
General classification: counts as one of seven equal categories.
Community Picks: counts as one of two categories.
However, contrary to Speedrun Cup which gives max 150 points, a maximum of 250 points can be scored
if you get into top 50 players.
Map voting
You can help us pick tracks for both Cups of Community Picks.
You can suggest 2 addon tracks until Oct 19, inclusively. To do that:
Register on the site new.kimden.online.
For that, go to any Frankfurt server while logged in, invoke /link, click the link
(don't show the link to anyone else). That's all.
Send a message to kimden describing your choice
(select Chats > Search for a person to chat > type kimden).
If you have made 5+ tracks before October 2025, you can suggest 4 tracks in total.
This is added because we trust track creators to also suggest their best maps.
During the voting phase, they will have the same voting rights as anyone else.
Alternatively, you can do the same in STK Discord in #shto-voting channel.
From Oct 20 to Oct 30, the series of polls will be held at
polls page. You need to register to vote.
All suggested tracks will be randomly partitioned into a few groups.
In each group, anyone will be able to assign a grade to any track.
Best several tracks will advance further.
You can also vote in STK Discord in #shto-voting channel.
The same process will apply to standard tracks, except you don't need to suggest them,
they will appear directly in the polls.
Voting will be held until top 4 and top 9 standard tracks are determined,
and until top 4 and top 16 addon tracks are determined.
