For IRL, do the pencils have to start as unsharpened? Because it says so in the rules but, i think, the top 3 places for 1 pencil start with partially sharpened ones.

Alberta, Canada

you are allowed to pre-sharpen as long as the tip is still at the regulation length

I mean the rules state that the pencil must be unsharpened and unmodified for the IRL category.

Maryland, USA

As long as they’re fresh out of the box, they’re good.

Then a good amount of the IRL speedruns need to be reviewed for pre-sharpened thing. I think that the 1pencil runs for first and second start off pre-sharpened and the FootCream run in 10pencils too.

United States

I believe that, under the current rules, the runs would be invalid, however because they were submitted before that rule existed, they are grandfathered in.

when was the rule about using a fresh pencil come into place?
