Oengus is a free tool to manage your speedrunning marathons from submissions to schedule, available as a hosted service.
Outside of events we're keen to connect with folks who want to help for future projects, whether its designers, musicians, writers, programmers, or anyone else who has something they'd like to help us with. We're always available for a chat in our Discord: discord.gg/YTphvJfAUK
Social media volunteers help us come up with catchy and fun posts to attract audiences and promote our runners. They also grab clips of awesome moments throughout the marathon to help us share the fun of them long after the event is over. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Share your videos with friends, family, and the world
Tech checkers are essential for ensuring runners are prepared ahead of time, solving any potential issues before the marathon has started, and allowing for speedy intermissions once the event is underway. They also allow Staff to focus on other event prep. www.pixelperfect.events/tech-checks-...
