Timing starts when you hit play on Round 1 and ends when the Victory banner appears at the end of the run.

Some of these rules are unnecessary and some rules should really be added.

Rules that should be removed

Taskbar MUST be shown on PC There is no reason for this rule to exist. I have modified BTD programs in the past and you do not need an external program open to cheat. Moderators should be able to tell if the program has been modified, especially when dealing with high-level runs.

Map Selection Screen MUST be shown before the run This rule is also not really needed. It should be easy to tell instantly what map and difficulty the user is playing on. It's not needed.

Two players only for CO-OP This rule is truly not needed. It is almost always faster to run two-player but we should allow runs that exceed the 2P limit.

Rules that I think should be added

Sound FX must be on Sound FX allows for the ability to tell if the footage has been sped up or if a variable on a monkey has changed. I believe all runs on the leaderboards currently have Sound FX enabled, but I would like to see this be a rule to remove doubt around a run being illegitimate. The BTD series has had situations where users turn all sound off and speed up footage.

Steam users must show FPS counter & not go above 60 FPS BTD6 is natively capped at 60 FPS due to always having VSYNC enabled. Users have to disable VSYNC outside of the program to reach over 60 FPS. Framerates over 60 FPS allow for an unfair advantage based on the quality of the hardware. Old runs should be grandfathered in but runs that we believe go over 60 FPS should be removed.

Please let me know what you think. I would like to try to make these rules official if I can. We are also in need of more moderators. If you are interested, please join the BTD discord and let someone know!

Currently the site is set so the leaderboards only show no reverse by default. Please change this so it is any by default. Thank you!

It should be evedent by now to all the this games major categories will not be run as they are too long and involve not enough skill. My recommendation will be to add some or all of these has the majory categories and move the current ones to misc categories:

1.) 3 Missions: This is short and sweet and it will involve actual routing. One would pick what they would see as the fastest three different missions and beat them. There are currently 10 missions and they all vary in difficulty and length.

2.) 5 Missions: Same as 3 Missions but with half the available missions. It would be slightly longer and more challenging but runs the risk of being to long and no one would do it.

3.) Extreme Maps: Beat all the extreme maps on easy (Tar Pits, Main Street, Bloontonium Lab). These are the Hardest maps and there is only three of them. It would be short but still provide a challenge.

These are more likely to be run so I hope the moderators take these into consideration. Another thing which needs to be added is the ability to submit coop runs as those could be a thing.
