Hey everyone! We will not be accepting any Steam submissions on SRC for the time being as we prepare for some important updates which include:

• many rule changes

• testing and eventually releasing a completely different version of the Load Remover Timer we use

• retiming all the runs in the board to adjust to this new timer.

To be fair, we will still be accepting the current 7 runs on the queue as soon as we can but all submissions starting today won't be accepted. We cannot say for sure how long this "lockdown" will last but it could be several weeks. We strongly suggest you join the Discord server to get a full understanding of what's going on and why. If you're a runner of the game (meaning you have at least one verified run on Steam, Console or Category Extensions) all you have to do is join and request the Runner server role through a channel specifically made for this.

We are not going to discuss important stuff in SRC anymore so if you want to participate in upcoming discussions, please join the discord and read the announcements channel.

The rule has been removed and all rejected runs have been re-verified. On top of that, offtopic, clearly rude and/or jokey replies on the rules forum post have been deleted. This post will remain locked for a while until things calm down.

Any new threads further discussing this will be deleted, enough has been said and a conclusion was reached.

The entire Steam ruleset has been combined with the game modifications rules into a single, clear and detailed post as of today. This post has great organization and all previous and current rules have been re-worded and re-formatted for better readability and no ambiguity.

In addition to the above, 1 rule has been added: time limits on IGT (RTA for AA) have been set for all categories in the board, where runs submitted from today onwards that are slower than this limit will no longer be accepted, and all current runs below these limits will be deleted from the board one by one. There are 3 main reasons for this rule:

• To save moderation time, which is significant considering how popular the game is and how long average runs are, let alone the really slow ones.

• To hopefully make people avoid doing casual runs and actually learn proper speedrun strats and routes, which is the whole point of a speedrunning board.

• It'll make the boards look less cluttered and more competitive.

The time limits are very lenient overall so this won't affect the vast majority of active runners.

You can find the full rules update post here. In addition, you can still find the rules through the "Show rules" button on the main board which has now been divided into Game Rules and Category Rules. Runs must comply with both of them simultaneously.
