Tournament Progression
Super Crash League's tournament progression pays homage to the I'm A Speedrunner tournaments from the past. Round 1 is a group round robin stage with each group containing 4 runners and the top 2 points scorers in each group progressing to the next stage. From the 2nd round onwards, each stage of the Super Crash League is a knockout round with the tournament progressing until only 4 are left. The final 4 will face off in the grand final.

Match Points
During the Group Stage, players will compete to win matches and earn points in their group.


 * Win - 5 points

Time Limits
Maximum time limits for the Super Crash League will be removed completely. The minimum duration for each race, however, will be 10 minutes. There will be no points allocated for draws in the Super Crash League and the hosts will rule on a case by case basis in terms of handing out rematches in the event of extremely close races.

Events in the First Grand Final
During the first grand final in the Super Crash League, ThePsychicGaymer's emulation settings were improperly set up and thus his gameplay was occurring at twice the speed of every other player for Crash Bandicoot 1 and 2. The race was recorded in two parts due to timezone issues with the four competitors, the first part included Marcus Terry-Bedford, Dr. Monkeyman and MayoDr and the second part only included ThePsychicGaymer. The original outcome of the race saw ThePsychicGaymer walk away with the victory, however due to re-timing the run after accounting for the emulation speeds being higher it was determined that Marcus Terry-Bedford would have been the winner if ThePsychicGaymer's footage was running at the same speed to the other competitors.

Due to this discrepancy it was decided that Marcus Terry-Bedford and ThePsychicGaymer would do a rematch in Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex to determine the final outcome of the tournament.
