Main Game rules updated 30/01/2021: additions for extended explanation of video submission standards:
Force-stopping or exiting the game during runs is not allowed.
Submissions must be of a single stand-alone run for the record being claimed, hosted on a mainstream video sharing platform, preferably YouTube. uploaded in a single session and capable of being retimed by framecount. Compilations, Segmented Runs, Spliced/Edited Videos, Time-Stamped links and Stream Archives etc. will be rejected.
Multiple subsections of one run are allowed as separate records, but each must be uploaded and submitted as an individual recording and run attempt in the appropriate category.

An issue with inconsistency in the behavior of the star animations at the end of attack based runs has been discovered. To correct for this the timing marker will be changed to use the damage meter 100%, regardless of how many stars are displayed.
The rules for Finish Battle (Town Hall), Finish Battle (Builders Base) and the Level Leaderboard will be changed with immediate effect to read:
Win a Town Hall Multiplayer attack with 100% as quickly as possible. Win a Builder Base Versus Battle with 100% as quickly as possible. Beat the level with 100% as quickly as possible.
Timing starts on the frame the first troop or spell is deployed, and ends on the first frame the damage meter shows “100%”
All Current runs on the leaderboards for these categories will be retimed, and any adjustments are expected to be in the players favour (lower times), and of less than 200ms. No Leaderboard positions are expected to change. Obsolete runs will not be reviewed.

13 April 2021
Town Hall 14 update launched on 12 April 2021, essentially being a new game, and had changes significant enough to make the previous Full Game Town Hall Any% And 100% runs incomparable and unable to be repeated, apart from TH2 Any% which has only minor changes and the existing board can remain as-is.
Leaderboards for Town Hall 3, 4, 5 Any% and 100% have been reset and are ready for V14 Submissions. All V13 runs, including obsoletes, have been moved to "Any% - TH 13 Archive" One minor rule change: Starter Challenges added to rule 4
