In IL runs, are you allowed to quick save and load? If I'm not mistaken, the timer does not reset when you load back to a save point, so that's why I ask. I'll understand if it's not allowed though, since I typically don't appreciate IL runs as much if they include saving and loading.

On second thought, saving and loading may not even be worth it, because if you have to do that, then you're not very likely to get a noteworthy time. But maybe the rules should just specify anyway?

there is no need as soon as you load and continue its not an IL anymore, its a segmented run.

As I'm sure you know, IL simply means individual level. That doesn't necessarily mean non-segmented. Some games allow for segmented IL runs. I just think it would make sense for the rules to specify, even if it's something that most people assume is not allowed.
