i did an HC2 IL where i used a checkpoint but the thing is, i did it to set the trick up almost out of necessity cuz otherwise it's harder to set up since tails will be in a bad position but someone could use checkpoints to abuse them and get perfect runs, so imo you'd have to make a rule where using checkpoints is only allowed to setup tricks or otherwise my run is invalid or it's valid but checkpoint abuse is also valid, but i guess it's up to the CE mods
Hi Mushy. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
With the CatEx IL boards, we intended for them to mimic the main board ILs in both spirit and general rules as far as possible. Obviously the use of Time Attack is not possible for CatEx characters, and as such we have had to modify certain rules to allow us to have a fair IL board i.e. the use of IGT for timing, not carrying items over from Act 1, positioning etc.
It was our intention that anything not generally possible in Time Attack would not be valid for the IL board here. As such, the use of Restart - Last Checkpoint is not allowed unless it's used to reset the level as a whole for a new run if a checkpoint has not been reached.
I apologise that this was not made clear before in the rules. I have updated the rules to reflect this.
