The closer that the run is towards the leaderboard top or the closer the time is to other leaderboard entries, the more accurate the timing must be. If the moderator is unable to judge the exact time, the run will be rejected. If these events are impossible to discern from the video, or the game has glitched in such manner that the highlight of the button fails to appear or to disappear, it is up to the moderator’s discretion whether the time can be deduced by some other means, such as from microphone sounds indicating mouse/keyboard actions. If there is a timer visible on the video, the judge may utilize this timer to verify that the footage does not have discrepancies, but it is not used for timing the runs. These rules ensure fair and accurate timing for runs of all categories regardless of the type of the ending. Run ends exactly when the highlight on the last “NEXT” button disappears for the last time, on the screen that precedes the screen that shows the ingame timer and stamp counts etc.īoth events need to be judged frame-by-frame from the vod, and the time difference of these two events forms the official run time.Run begins exactly when the highlight on the "NEW” button, on the game-load screen, disappears for the last time.Timing criteria for all categories is this (at least how I have done it):
Piboy14 piboy14 and DefaultGuy DefaultGuy like this. However, rather than force my decision on the matter, I will await for further input from the other moderators. This is a slippery slope I would rather avoid. Now you not only have to judge that the game footage is valid you also have to judge that the desktop footage is valid. However, this adds an extra layer of complexity for judging. To verify that this is not the case, the runner would need to have some sort of task manager visible for validation. There is an additional concern: In some cases this glitch is difficult to distinguish from having two instances of the game open simultaneously and just clicking outside in the other window. changing the game temporary file folder read-only or similar shenanigans. Therefore it falls into the same category as would e.g. The game itself does not provide tools for resizing the window it is your operating system that provides this facility. I am inclined to judge that resizing the game window is an operation that is performed outside the game, not inside the game, and as such it is not allowed.
