Guidelines for submitting runs are currently being worked on and translated in to multiple languages to help avoid confusion and set in stone the fundamentals of running OTS:

They can be viewed here: https://goo.gl/IB6GIp

Due to the changes in rules for running Any% the leaderboard has been wiped.

IGT runs were unaffected and the leaderboard remains unchanged- there are updated rules to define what an IGT run is.

Please familiarize yourselves with the updated rules and start submitting runs again!

Can I just ask for a small clarification on any%? We need to include the overflow preparation in our vod, but should it be timed or can we wait to start the timer until we press 'New game' on our actual run?

Based on community feedback it should be included in runs time.

Essentially you have to "show your work" now.

Because of several rejected runs over the last month i would like to remind everybody to read the rules. If you have any doubt on any rule don't hesitate to ask us here. It's always really a shame to have to reject a run :(

Here is a little TL;DR of the essential (that ignore some rare exceptions that are in the rules) for those a little bit confused:

Any% IGT and 107% IGT: ¤Use the in-game timer. ¤Don't go back to the main menu in the middle of the run. ¤Don't trigger the smoke overflow glitch.

Any%: ¤Use an external timer. (Timer start at the selection of the new game and end when the ship start exploding) ¤Start the recording at the miniboss logo.

Collectibles%: ¤Use an external timer. (Timer start at the selection of the new game and end when the ship start exploding) ¤Get all collectible AND the spaceship upgrade.

Hopefully it will help avoid the most common reasons a run is being rejected.
