its not necessary

we can take the sonic 1 and 2 approach to this and ban pausing for more than 5 secs at a time with f3 on, and it wouldn't be the same as with sonic 1 and 2 but similar cuz in sonic you also can't pause for 20 secs or more at a time and in total you can't pause for more than 15 mins throughout the entire run

why are there no runs for 1.16 SSG?

no pausing, its not neceesary

plus great speedruns are being submited this year

@APlayz You can edit your post, no need to add 5 seperate ones.

I know

good question

Maybe add 4 seconds every pause and ban f3+esc

Here are the new pausing rules for RSG:

Timing Rules

Runs which are not sub-13 in 1.16+, sub-20 in 1.9-1.15, and sub-24 in pre1.9 will be timed with igt.

Runs which are sub-13 in 1.16+, sub-20 in 1.9-1.16, and sub-24 in pre1.9, will follow a stricter guideline for pausing, retimed by us as follows: All other pauses longer than 10 seconds will be shortened to 10 seconds, and pauses shorter than 10 seconds will be unchanged and timed. Dimension change pauses will be untimed. You may request other specific pauses be untimed so long as you provide a reason, the length of the pause, and it's timestamp. Some reasons may include mental health concerns (such as panic attacks), irl interruptions which couldn’t be reasonably avoided, and other reasonings that involve things that are beyond the runners control. The pause must also make sense for the reasoning given, e.g. if you have short and frequent pauses and your reasoning was an irl disturbance and asked to remove all of the pauses, it may not be accepted.

I personally think that's a good solution to the problem. And, since I'm already posting: congrats Brentilda for the now official first ever Sub10 WR! Great Job!

so it just counts if you pause for more than 10 seconds okey cool so you cant like unpause and automaticaly pause again every 9 seconds right xd

Also brentilda's run got verified with old timing rules so yeah, still sub 10

@KilleDragon no, it always counts. If it's less that 10 seconds, f. e. 9.35, it will be added as 9.35. "and pauses shorter than 10 seconds will be unchanged and timed"
