Hi there ! The rules section is empty so I have a few questions.

1. When does the timer starts ?
2. When does the timer ends ?
3. Can these informations be added to the rules section please ?

Thank you.

you can watch my run to define when to start and finish the timer

Thanks for the answer but if they are any rules how a moderator can validate a run been sure ? Does every runner start and end the timer at the same time ? It would be nice to have the rule section filled with that.

judging on how various people time their runs, i figured i would do this to make it clear for others who are interested in running this game...

Timer starts when you hit start, and it ends as soon as you see the screen with all 8 pages, and bart sleeping at his desk.

i have included this in the game rules, but if any others would like to change it feel free to chime in!

wanted to post this image to show the frame that i end on when frame counting, the one on the right is the final frame where you can see the pages and text, the one on the left is the frame before that.

for transparency sake, we have noticed that the sega version, the way the screen loads in at the end where bart is at his desk is different than the snes version. timing for sega version is slightly different as there is no input needed at desk to progress to the final score screen. we figured it made sense, and would be easy to end the timer on the first frame of barts hand holding the 8th page.

ideally timer would stop upon last meaningful input, but due to the nature of the doors being random, fade out was also an option but for the ease of everyone, for the sega/mega drive version, timing is from start press to first frame of bart's hand holding the 8th page.

i know its not a popular category but rules have been adjusted, runs retimed. thanks
