Hello. My run was rejected for not showing the difficulty selection.

I understand now the purpose of this rule, this is not an appeal.

However, in the rules it says the following:

"If selecting the level from the menu, please include the full selection prior from the runs start....

...Using a quick load on the level, then dying to restart the level via re-spawning, is accepted."

These seemed by my first reading to be the two acceptable alternatives due to the initial" if".

I recommend specifying that you cannot skip displaying the level selection screen, and that the whole 'process' must be shown on video. The rule is potentially self contradictory, and at least rather confusing as it stands.

Thank you.

Greetings. Initially the leader board did allow for UV and NM runs to start from a death and quick load.

With the September 2020 update to the game, the addition of UV+ required the moderation team to add this distinction to the rules, as some levels appear identical on UV+. This is why runs prior to September of 2020 show loading from quick saves (faster to reset runs in this fashion).

The rules for the specific IL categories were not updated to reflect this stance, which was something missed in a myriad of updates over the last few months. They have now been adjusted to hopefully avoid further confusion.

The game rule's have made this distinction for a while now, but the rule change was missed in the IL rules variable, and has been updated accordingly. Thanks for letting us know.

I appreciate this. It's a great game, thanks for moderating it.
