ISGP Exhibition Championship

The ISGP Exhibition Championship is a speedrunning championship owned by the governing body Spyro Tournaments (chaired by CrystalFissure and Nintendogen64).

The championship was first announced during the Spyro Speedruns Cup (2021) Weekly Round-Up for Week 1. As explained by CrystalFissure, the ISGP Exhibition Championship was intended to fulfill the concept originally intended for the Crassic Speedrunning Championship before competitors such as g4video5, LukeRF44, MuddyMaestro and Marcus Terry-Bedford legitimised the championship through competitive and highly skilled title defenses. Unlike the existing championships sanctioned by ISGP, the ISGP Exhibition Championship has a unique rule-set that outlines how and when the title is defended.

Rules:

1. The ISGP Exhibition Championship must be defended at least once every 30 days.

2. Anyone can challenge for the ISGP Exhibition Championship; once sanctioned, the ISGP Exhibition Champion can't refuse a defense (or they auto-lose the match).

3. Any game is eligible to be played in an ISGP Exhibition Championship defense. The only exceptions are the original PS1 versions of Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon - they are reserved for Tournament and Special Event Defenses.

4. There is no minimum or maximum time limit for title defenses. Anything goes, even 30 seconds.

5. (Addendum) Runs can only be done on the International Spyro Grand Prix Discord server. Other servers/private calls are prohibited.

6. (Addendum) Multiple people can have joint ownership of the Exhibition Championship. However, if any one person who has the joint ownership loses a race, all people lose joint ownership of the Championship to the winner of the ISGP Exhibition Match.

In the same Weekly Round-Up where the championship was announced, CrystalFissure and Nintendogen64 offered the first title match to the first four competitors who could answer the challenge. The inaugural champion would be decided in a four-way match between Noel McDavid, Charity Royall, Skater6453 and Lucas Bolton. Unfortunately for Noel McDavid, the race was scheduled to take place during a Snowstorm in her area. As a result, this forced her to withdraw from the race. She was ultimately replaced by DantaFanta.

On February 11, 2021, Charity Royall defeated DantaFanta, Lucas Bolton and Skater6453 in an Among Us race to become the inaugural champion.

As of June 16, 2022 the title's status has been Inactive. It may return in the future, however, for now it is defunct.
