Why organise speedruns on Blyzer?

Runner registration

Runners sign up via a link with their name, category and stream link – you just confirm the starting list.

Ranking by time

Runners record their finishing time and Blyzer ranks them from fastest to slowest – ideal for asynchronous races and live races alike.

Head-to-head bracket

Two runners run at the same time, the faster one advances – a single or double elimination bracket generated automatically.

Leagues and seasons

Weekly races with placement points, running standings and an archive of all times.

Most popular speedrun competition formats

Speedrunning is about time – either against the clock or against an opponent at the same time. Pick a format and Blyzer generates the rankings, bracket or standings; you can set it all up in the wizard in a few minutes.

Race / time competition

Runners sign up individually, run the assigned game and category (live on stream or any time before the deadline) and record their time. Ranked from fastest to slowest – the basic format for speedrun races and weekly challenges, with no match schedule.

How to: Create race → Configure → best time (less = better) → open registration → runners record their times.

Head-to-head bracket

Two runners run the same category at the same time, the faster one advances, the slower one is out. Seeding by personal bests or a qualifying race – the same format as GDQ and community tournaments.

How to: Create tournament → Configure → no groups, play-off only → Seed runners → Generate bracket.

Create single-elimination tournament

Double elimination

Every runner gets two chances – after the first loss they continue in the losers' bracket. Fairer for games where a single reset or bad RNG shouldn't decide the whole tournament.

How to: Create tournament → Configure → double-elimination play-off → Generate bracket.

Groups + play-off

Runners are split into groups, run a head-to-head race against everyone in the group and the best advance to the bracket. The randomizer tournament format for 8 to 32 runners, with more matches for everyone.

How to: Create tournament → Configure → number of groups and qualifiers → Generate groups → Generate play-off.

Create tournament with groups

Speedrun league

A multi-week season – one race or a new category every week, placement points, running standings. For Discord communities and randomizer leagues.

How to: Create league → Configure → number of rounds and runners → Generate schedule → enter results as you go.

How does it work for speedruns?

  1. Create a race, tournament or league

    In the wizard, set the game, category (any%, 100%, randomizer…), the format – time competition, head-to-head bracket or league – and the number of runners.

  2. Invite runners

    Send the registration link to your Discord – runners state their name, platform and stream link; announce the rules and deadline in the description.

  3. Record times

    In a time competition, runners record their own time; in head-to-head, you record the winner – Blyzer instantly recalculates the rankings, bracket and standings.

Guides and FAQ

Speedrun – FAQ

How do I verify recorded times?

We recommend requiring a stream VOD or a recording with a timer in the rules. The organiser can adjust a recorded time or disqualify a run.

Does everyone have to run at the same time?

No. A time competition can be asynchronous – everyone runs any time before the deadline and records their time. In a head-to-head bracket, opponents run at the same time, ideally on a shared stream.

Do randomizer or bingo tournaments work too?

Yes. For a randomizer, send the seed in the match description; for bingo, record the winner of the duel – the bracket or group format is the same.

How do I handle an unfinished run (reset, crash)?

Record it as DNF (did not finish) – in a time competition it goes to the bottom of the ranking, in head-to-head the opponent advances.

How much does it cost?

The basics are free – you can create and run a race, tournament or league at no charge.
