Starting From Scratch..

Hey everyone! I’m super pumped to get started in the speed running community, at the moment, I’m thinking of starting with Doom (2016), played on the XBONE, now.. where should I start? What programs should I use? What are “rules” for speed runs? Thank you all and I can’t wait to get in contact with so many of you guys!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GAME OVER YEAAAH Hello! :) Getting hype is something we know a lot about.

There are no standard programs you have to use. Use video of you playing the game. Most use an on-screen timer to help them know how long they've been running. You can find this stuff here. https://www.speedrun.com/resources As for rules, they are stated on the site itself. Each leaderboard is given individual rules. Certain games need different rules. For the overall site, just be a decent person and don't cheat.

Welcome aboard @ZacWattusHD! I hope you enjoy learning Doom, I haven't tried the 2016 version yet.

The rules and resources specifically for that game should be here https://www.speedrun.com/d2016
