There is no where in the rules that it says a video is required, and there are runs that dont have videos. If it's the case that one is needed I think it should be said somewhere. Because that was frustrating to just encounter.
I know this is a very late reply, but yes we're going to keep the video requirement mandatory, will specify better in the rules. The reasons there are times on the leaderboards without videos is because they were times taken from past races on SRL that were live streamed but not saved. Most of these people we have raced with so we knew they were legit times.
An even later reply, but I think we're lucky enough to have a community which doesn't lie about these kinds of things. I think for the sake of general site rules there should be at least some sort of proof to post a time onto this site, but that doesn't mean that a faster time can't be acknowledged as the official world record. I would have no reason to doubt anyone's word here if they said they got a certain time in something. It's such a pointless lie to make, and I think everyone understands that.
