Just a few days ago, I was just viewing the rules for Pokemon Red Speedruns Any% Glitchless category. I just saw a rule I don't remember being on there. The rule is, "Submissions of 1:55:00 and lower require in game audio to be audible throughout the video." Why is this a rule and how is it beneficial to these runs?

not having audio is helpful if you want to hide a splice. so runs faster than 1:55 require audio to help stop cheating.

Oh thanks. I didn't look at the rule straight. I thought it said that 1:55:00 speedruns or worse runs required audible audio. Thanks. My mistake.
