So I wanted to start speedrunning Monkey Island games because i love them so much and figured id start at the beginning, but only one run has been submitted and i was just a bit uncertain of the rules that i should be following to compete for the best times etc.

At what point do i stop the timer? (Just as i beat LeChuck? when the cutscene begins?) Am I allowed to speed up the subtitles with the ScummVM settings?

Im fairly new to the whole speedrunning scene so i apologise if im asking stupid questions! Go easy on me, I need an idiots guide haha!
