Is it allowed to pause the timer?

It's contradicting. We'll have to establish a definitive rule. I can say for certain that pausing for a round 5, 15, 30, and 50 is not allowed. (Or the pause time will be added I should say.) The insane round 200 speedruns have pauses that didn't have the time added. But that's due to the fact that they take 70+ hours.
