Is the final time determined via adding up all the times from the in game timer, or should an external timer be used? I don't have a capture card for my DS yet and my emulator doesn't like loading into races for... some reason? I'm considering doing runs of this game myself, so I wanna make sure I fully understand the rules before submitting something that's completely wrong.

(This is referring to stuff like the All Cups and Individual Cup categories)

Currently we use RTA for all of the cups this is because of difficulty seeing times on webcam recorded runs so all you need is real time. I will say however if the emulator is running poorly the run can be rejected for not running properly.

Edit: I made the rules a bit more clear with some formating
