As of November 1st 2024 ET, all runs submitted to the leaderboards must have game audio present and clearly heard.

This doesn't disallow normal streaming activities like talking, background music, etc. Just make sure the game audio can still be heard over it. The higher the ranking of the submission, the stricter this rule will be.

This decision comes after recent runs submitted by talented runners, some in the top 10. Though we believe they are real, we want to stop a situation where a less honest player may take advantage of such a vulnerability in our rules.

Truth be told, we should have made this a rule years ago. However, we will not be clearing the leaderboards of runs submitted before this date, but all future ones must have this requirement. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

Thank you for those few playing Tetris on GB, and keep chasing those PBs and records!

Hey, I have totally missed this :O I just WR:d and it's without game audio 'cause my DC-adapter (not og one) has started to make my game boy speaker to resonate so I have kept 3,5mm plug to block the noise. I hope it will be still accepted.
