  1. Please don’t type in all caps, it makes it very hard to read.

  2. You will need to check the rules or discuss this scenario with the mods of the game in question to find out what they allow.

99% of games will not allow runs that have a stopped recording in it because the run can easily just be spliced (multiple recordings pieced together) meaning that someone can just play parts of the game on different playthroughs to get a times that they're happy with and get a better overall time. Spliced runs are counted as cheating and will not be verified onto the site.

The times where multiple recordings are allowed is when you're making a segmented run (a run where it's not in 1 single attempt but several attempts put together) which are not recognised on the site, if there is a rest break allowed (only for very long categories) or if on very rare scenario where there is some sort of proof that the run can be valid i.e if the run was seen in person by someone highly trustworthy in the community (typically a moderator of the game).
