Run without a timer?

Am I missing something here, or why was this run accepted without a timer? http://www.speedrun.com/run/zgnwedvy

Connor could time it if he wanted to... Taco's CJ was accepted and I do believe Connor Timed it.

Some people have trouble recording their timer as well. They could've not known about timers and used a stopwatch on their phone or something

That's acceptable? I thought the whole point of the timer was to make sure it wasn't sped up.

I checked the whole video and it wasn't sped up at all. While timers are obviously very preferred, it was pretty easy to time ourselves so it's fine. We might add a rule later saying that timers are required, but it's fine for now.

Having a timer doesn't prevent people from speeding up a video as they can add it afterwards through video editing software. Checking the start and end times for a run is fine. If people have a sped up video or cut any parts out, that will be obvious enough when people watch the video.
