Video Requirements
Reason: separate gameplay rules from submission rules.
---> Change (in Game rules)
You must have quality proof of your record, such as a YouTube video or Twitch highlight. It is desirable that the video includes a timer (WSplit or LiveSplit).
---> to: (speedrun.com/goiwbf rip off)
• Video quality meets the following minimum criteria:
• 360p, 24fps
• No excessive stuttering or frame drops
• Not too low quality to see the run clearly.
• Recorded with a capture card or recording software such as OBS or Shadowplay.
• Must be uploaded to a site that is both permanent and doesn’t require a download or account to view the video.
• Recommended sites: YouTube, Twitch.
• Twitch must be submitted as a highlight.
• It is preferred for submissions to include a timer (such as WSplit or LiveSplit), but not required. A video without a timer that contains frame drops is more likely to be rejected.
Reason: clarity/detail.
