### Charity

We are once again raising money for **[QMUNITY](https://qmunity.ca/)** - British Columbia's queer, trans, and Two-Spirit resource centre, providing safe space for two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexual and asexual folks and their allies.

### Races

We cannot accept race submissions by default due to the nature of the event.

However, during the confirmation period, runners can ask the original submitter of their game to race them! If the submitter agrees, availability permits, and dedicated commentary can be organized, we might see some Student vs. Teacher races!

### Discouraged Criteria

Due to the nature of games being randomly drafted for accepted runners, any submission that fits one or more of the following criteria is less likely to be selected:

- Estimated length is more than 1 hour 30 minutes or less than 10 minutes
- The run has no available guide **and** the submitter is not able to provide assistance
- The run requires non-standard peripherals (e.g. custom controller, etc.)
- The run has an extremely high complexity in terms of mechanics **and** inputs
- The run is heavily dependent on RNG
- The game is not easily obtainable/playable (e.g. not emulatable, needs high-end PC hardware, etc.)

These runs can still be submitted, and they may be picked as backup games.

### Randomizer Rules

Randomizer submissions are allowed, but must fit **all** of these criteria:

- The randomizer must have the ability to set a decent starting inventory
- No overly challenging modes ex: Key Sanity, no starting sword/swordless
- The run must be able to be completed within 2 hours RTA by a new runner
- All randomizer submissions will be handled on a case by case basis

### Backup Games

We will have a list of backup games for runs that cannot be selected for the main draft lottery due to their nature (see *Discouraged Criteria*) but which are still awesome showcases that could fill time in case of a runner drop.

We hope to see you at **Speedromizer V!**

The charity marathon with a twist. What you submit, is NOT what you run.
