Runs requiring video proof

EDIT 3/7/17 Now that we are allowing emulator RTA (and the boards are already using RTA by default) it doesn't make much sense to have the cutoffs be in IGT. All the new cutoffs can be found in the individual category rules.

If you submit an IGT-only run which is "good enough" to hit a cutoff it will probably be rejected. But there's really no reason to submit IGT-only any more.

I have already discussed this with several ZM runners, but it's not written anywhere on this site, so here's a quick post about it:

Currently, any new runs with an IGT under 30 minutes (any%) or 56 minutes (100%) require a full video (NOT a screenshot of the ending) or they will be rejected. This rule is not applied retroactively to old runs.

These cutoffs are arbitrary and could change in the future, but they're what we're working with for now. I know recording sucks for a lot of people - particularly as we encourage you to play on console rather than emulator - but hopefully you can understand the need. Merry christmas!
