Verification Policy is created to unify awareness among moderators.

---

1. Eliminate emulators

• The moderator will decide whether an emulator was used or not.
• If there is any doubt as to whether an emulator is used, moderators may ask players about their playing environment.
• Moderators may reject previously verified records if the records were created by an emulator.
• Moderators will not disclose the criteria used to determine if an emulator is used.

2. Compliance with rules

[Full game]

・8 levels in order.

• OK : 12345678
• OK : 132345678 (but the record is hopeless)
• NG : 1345678
• NG : 13245678

・Secondary objectives

• Has the player completed the required number of secondary missions?
• In the case of normal or hard, the message "secondary objective complete" should be confirmed.
• In the case of blackops, it is sufficient if all of complete messages can be confirmed. However, if not, visual confirmation by the moderators may be necessary.

[Indivisual Levels]

・Secondary objectives

• Check mission complete screen

・When the player dies

• OK : "RESTART MISSION" on the PAUSE MENU or the MISSION FAILED screen.
• NG : "CONTINUE MISSION" on the MISSION FAILED screen.

3. Scrutiny

[Full game]

• If the timer is recorded along with the play screen, the moderator will basically trust it.
• If the timer is not recorded, the moderator will check the time based on the video's duration.

 Recorded time = (time stamp at goal) – (time stamp at start)

• If the moderator finds that there is a gap between the submitted time and the actual gameplay time, the record may be corrected.
• If a record is submitted that beats first place by a small margin, the moderators may re-examine the current first place record.

[Indivisual Levels]

• The moderator will trust the time on the goal screen.
• The record with only the results screen will of course be rejected.

4. Verification period

• The moderator will process the application as soon as possible. However, please note that moderators will be given a 21-day grace period, as stated in the site rules.

Moderators are generally given 21 days to process run submissions.

It is not a requirement for moderators to verify all runs every time they visit the site, we understand people have lives.

• Even if you feel that the processing of your submission is slow, please do not submit a duplicate submission for the same record. It slows down the approval process because duplicate applications are checked.

5. Protecting the speedrunning community

• Users who engage in disruptive behavior will be banned from the community.
