So I was curious if there could multiple people in an AnyTech run? The people would be on the same team. They would both start in spawn and could both grab flags. I was wondering if this is ok cause its AnyTech?

Ok I know I am asking a lot of questions but I want to understand the rules as well as possible, as well as clarify what the rules exactly mean.

I am curious when exactly you can stop the timer for a run. I mean this for fruit runs. The rules state that you stop the timer "Map's fruit is clearly visible in the frame". So here is a quick video I made with three different timer stops. If one of the moderators could please clarify which one of these is correct. I personally have been doing something between the 2nd and 3rd one.

The video:

I was wondering if you have to be alive at the end of a run for it to count? I mean this more in the sense of the fruit runs. For example fields fruit, do you have to be on the rock for it to count, or could you have died in the water but your dead body is right next to the rock and staring at the fruit? In the rules it says "Map's fruit is clearly visible in the frame" so based of this it would seem like this would be aloud but I wanna double check.

Ok, so am I allowed to switch my melee in the middle of a run? I don't see any rule against it but I wanted to make sure.

So just out of curiosity does it matter which map variant we use for a run? I know there is only one map with a variant currently, but they said they are gonna add more. How will this affect the runs?
