Starting on the 16th December, 2023, YoloMenace001 (at the time one of the moderators during the period's cycle) officially announced the start of a new competition utilising a new format of competition. This competition was the first in a while (the last being in the first half of 2023). The format consisted of a single 'qualifying' round, a Swiss format section and then a bracket similar to a double elimination bracket.

For the competition, apparoximately 23 signed up however 6 would be removed at the end of the Qualifying Stage.(5 for inactivity, and 1 for inactivity in addition to leaving the discord server).

### Qualifying Stage

In the Qualifying Stage, the bottom 16 runners would progress to the Swiss Stage while the 'x' amount at the top would automatically gain a spot in the Elimination Stage's Upper Bracket. The game and category for this round was Dadish 3 - World 1. The fastest time and runner who earned the spot in the Upper Bracket was Nameless who achieved a tome of 6:22.433. The slowest time with video was by a player known as Force with a time of 9:13.483 (14th overall), the slowest time on the competition's leaderboard is held by 'Habibi' with an approximate time of 26 hours (15th overall). 2 players ended up at 16th and 17th however remained in the competition due to activity and one player was not able to complete the run in a casual setting as it was too difficult for them.

### Swiss Stage

The Swiss Stage is mostly normal (similar to the style of the Swiss format as used in the RLCS. Each player is competing for a better time against one other competitor and the winner gets 1-0 added to their wins and the loser gets 0-1. Each round, a player with only play against one other who has the same score as the other (1-0 wil only play against 1-0s in round 2 for example). In this competition, if the player gets 3 wins, they earn a spot in the Upper Bracket first round and if they get 3 losses they will get a spot in the Lower Bracket first round. The player who got the Automatic Spot in the Qualifying Round and those who get 3 wins or losses before the 5th round will be able to not need to participate again until the Elimination Stage.

#### Round 1

In the last 24 hours of the round, Coalan submitted a run clocking at under 1:30 while everyone else had a run of atleast 3 minutes. Coalan's competitor, Nitherex, got a time of 3:04.000 exactly, with approximately 9 hours until the round ended. During the next 8 hours, people were unsure if the run should count, including the organisor, Yolo. It was then decided that it would not count at that time and there will likely be an addition the the SRC rules. Coalan's time remained in the 3:20s and it seemed like the underdog, Nitherex, would win this round. However with less than 4 minutes to the end of the round, Coalan submitted a run clocking in at 3:01.333, meaning that Nitherex had lost the round.
