  1. All runs must have Game and Microphone audio only. No part of the game footage/audio is to be eliminated for any reason.

Does this mean that if I record a video of my speedrun with Game Audio, but without a microphone, can my run be rejected?

  1. Timed via in-game time.

Is this the time displayed on the final statistics screen at the end of the game? Does it mean that there is no need to put a LiveSplit layout on the video?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, You can record without a mic. I do along with a few others. "All runs must have Game and Microphone audio only" We say this because there is a no music rule, not counting sounds from your twitch stream (i.e sounds from followers/subscribers or someone hosting.) There's a music rule for two reasons 1. being your VOD can be flagged from playing music thus making your entire VOD muted. 2. its annoying for us mods to verify a run while you got music blasting lol it also makes it harder to verify your run.

If you're playing on PC there are a few categories that require a Livesplit (No Guest House, End Of Zoe) any other time a live split is just for your benefit and not needed. "Is this the time displayed on the final statistics screen at the end of the game?" Yes, Showing the difficulty at the beginning of a run and the end Game stats screen is required. We time IGT (In Game Time) showing that screen confirms the time and is used to submit your run.
