Okay so about a week ago, I submitted a run of Super Smash Bros Ultimate, World of Light, NG+ Any% Easy with video proof (or as close as I could get but that's a story for another day). Apparently, the estimated wait times are 1-3 weeks, so I've been waiting, and now I want to know how I will find out the official validity of my run. Is it like an email or do I have to check somewhere on my account or what?
Your run should currently be listed in the Pending Actions section of your profile. It will either be accepted, in which case it’ll move to the runs section of your profile, or it’ll be rejected, in which case it will be in the PA section but under the rejected runs header. If you want a notification on this site and/or an email when your run is approved/rejected, you can manage that in your notification settings.
Personally I just keep checking the leaderboard :D
I follow all the games I run so that when it's accepted so I see "Your Run Has Been Verified" in my alerts
