How do I submit a speedrun? I'm pretty new at this and have been working at a speedrun for a little bit now. Any help is greatly appreciated!

All you need to do is record video of your run with a timer on screen that records the real time for whichever category it is for. When the run is recorded and uploaded to some form of video hosting site such as Youtube or Twitch, click on the category you ran and hit summit run. Usually you just have to list time you got on the run and give the mods a link to the video do that they can authenticate the run. Just make sure that you read the rules of the category you're running if you haven't already so that you don't make a mistakes 🙂

For timing, can I use a stopwatch and add a couple of seconds for error time? All of the speedrunners that I have watched use live split but I can't get that due to computer limitations.

How will you be recording the gameplay if you don't mind me asking? I believe you could use a stopwatch as long as it is recorded along side the gameplay and done in real time. Moderators do retime things if they think that your time was off, it just makes their life easier if you can at least put in the description the time of error if that's the only way you can do it.

Use my phone to record and upload to youtube(I need to make an account but that is easy) and look up an online stopwatch for my computer.

It isnt neccecairy to record a timer, as long as the full footage of the game is available. Since it requires video proof and that does not include a timer.

So your saying they can time it?

The timer is a convenience but not necessary for submitting. It’s not too hard for mods to measure the length of the run using timestamps in the video. As long as you show the entire run start to finish it should be accepted, just speaking from experience as a mod on other boards.

Thanks! Everyone has been a huge help!
