WHY ;(

I get out why my run was rejected but here is the thing: I only have 2 and a half hours of game time..... I'm sorry but I'm only 15 years old so my mom does set limits to game time. Be And if you have to have it in one part then I know that you will lose me and others to the leaderboard. And to be honest it is kinda dumb that you have to have it as one whole part...... And if this is going to be the case then that means I can't Speedrun this game until 3-5 years..... Which sucks really bad for me because I love speedrunning this game ~ LegendofzeldaLF

Unfortunately that is speedrunning in general and isn't unique to this game - you can't stop/pause the timer and you need to have the run done in one sitting. That's just how RTA speedruns work and have always worked, otherwise the run becomes segmented which isn't really tracked anymore.

Don't give up speedrunning or be discouraged by this, instead, look for a game that can be done in the time that you have. Don't try to do longer runs if you don't have the time, start smaller and do some shorter runs. You can even still do the run split up, it just won't be tacked here on the LB (never give up on running a game or a category just because there isn't an LB for it or your run isn't on the LBs). Then once you have the ability to do longer runs of the full game in a single sitting, you'll be able to.

Well most leaderboards let me use more then one Part like Twilight Princess HD do that's mostly why I'm discouraged by me not being able to split this up.

But atlas I guess my Phantom Hourglass speedruns are over and i also guess buying that Japanese Spirit Tracks was pointless

A VOD being split into multiple parts isn't bad. The fact that your timer stopped is the reason why I didn't allow it.

But Timmi is correct in this case. You can always still run the game, but the PH leaderboards (Specifically Any%) are meant to be RTA (Single Segment).

Yeah Poke makes a good clarification point - you're allowed to have multiple VODs due to something like a twitch blip or slight internet blip (which is most likely what TPHD and other boards allow) but you'd be hard pressed to find a LB that allows for a stopped timer which is what happened in your case.
