A timer should NOT be required. The main way that moderators time runs is through a frame retiming tool like https://retime.mcbe.wtf/ . LiveSplit is inconsistent since it has human error. If someone starts a livesplit timer late, they would have an advantage over someone who starts it on time

You also didn't even say the timing rules in the rules of the game

So sorry about all this. I've cleaned up the Rules to make it more clear for you. Good luck running!
