Rule clarifications, changes, enforcement
3 years ago
Friesland, Netherlands

Some rules, particularly with regard to timing, have been altered slightly to reduce the amount of homework one needs to do when submitting runs.

All previous runs have been changed to reflect these rulechanges, and where applicable grandfathered in. Around 5 runs previously on the leaderboard have been rejected due to providing too little information to work with (eg no vod and no time submitted.)

To summarize, these are the rules changes: Timing will be done with 'time with loads / real time' and 'ingame time'. All consoles that support IGT must specify the IGT as listed during the credits sequence (for full game runs), or during the fade/circle to black at the end of ILs. This includes miliseconds. PS4/XBone does not support such a timer, so only real time needs to be submitted.

DO NOT BOTHER TO TIME WITHOUT LOADS YOURSELF. You'll just be wasting your precious time, do more runs instead ;)

Note: IGT includes the final cutscene where Chef screams 'no no nooo'. From now on, it is highly recommended you skip this cutscene for extra speed.

Real Time: No clear rules were specified in the past. A small community poll in the Discord server has established the following start and end points for the run:

  • Start: When pressing Yes on the New Game confirmation screen.
  • End: When the 'no no noooo' cutscene is skipped and the last map ends, in synchrony with the IGT timer. (Yes, this means that the final cutscene is now INCLUDED in the timing. Immediate skipping is recommended.) From now on, this will be enforced. Past runs have been given quite the leeway when it comes to this, which could cause inaccuracies of up to a dozen seconds between runs.

No Real Time needs to be specified for ILs, for both Console and PC. Instead, PC/Mobile runs can use the IGT as shown in the top left, and console can use the top times as shown in the level select screen. Please ensure these are visible at the end of the video.

Furthermore: I'm considering removal of the Shorts category. These two maps have been given their own IL already instead. For now, I'll leave the category until I decide, but it currently uses only real time, and no IGT.

All rules have now been written down in the game rules for quick future reference. Press 'show rules' at the top of each leaderboard.

I do not check these forums often, and I will forget I posted this. Please join the Discord server or contact us by other means of your choice if you have any questions. Thank you, and happy running! RBRBRBLRBLRBLRRBL
