What category should I submit to?

Hello everyone. I'm a fairly new runner to this game, been practicing some stuff casually. But I was wondering which category I should be submitting to if I ever get a run I'm satisfied with. I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've been doing.

-I've been playing all stages. -My cart is version 1.1 -I've been using barrel short cuts and bonus room short cuts where available -I have not been using any glitches like wrong warps, super jumps, or infinite mid-air rolls etc.

Personally, I felt this would fall under the no major glitches category, but I am just wondering...what are the allowed "minor" glitches?

Mainly asking because I want to know where my runs fit and stick to that category.

Sem grandes falhas você corre todas fases , e não usa nem um .(glicht) você pode usar os atalhos das fases normalmente , você só não pode executar glicht.

-'Major Glitches' are: Jumprolls, Superjumps, SJRs, SFRs, Mapwarps, Wrongwarps, Minecart Glitch, Split-Up Glitch, Animal Buddy Glitch and Funky Plane Start

If you click on the category and then the "view rules" button, you'll find most of the answers to your question.

yes I looked at all the rules of every category before I made this post. Which is part of the reason I'm asking because I don't know what "minor" glitches are allowed.

I mean there has to be a reason why "glitchless" is not a category.

so am i running all levels or am i running NMG?

you can post a link on the forum that donkey Kong moderators will let you know after checking your video. after that you can post on global leaderboard in the respective modalities in which its category was classified

There are no banned "minor" glitches that's why the category is called "no major glitches" and has the major glitches listed in the rules, anything not listed is fair game.

From what you've listed you could either submit it under all stages or no major glitches, whatever you fancy.

If it's still confusing you can always watch the world record run.
