There has been an increase in submitted runs lately, and we are glad that the community is expanding!
However, we are having players that are new to speedrunning submitting runs that are of bad quality, and need to be addressed.
Things to take into consideration when speedrunning PTCGO, & in general:
-
You need to show 100% of the game screen. Any runs sent in with avatars, deck stats, timers, you & your opponent's hand, etc. blocked, will be rejected. Do not waste our time, and yours. It's your responsibility to not open any interpretation AT ALL of cheating.
-
Please submit runs that include your timer going into the hundredths. If you fail to do this, we may place others above you on the leaderboard who have done this, but also have tied with you in terms of minutes, & seconds.
-
You need to send in clear, crisp, quality videos of your speedrun. Videos that are of bad quality, constantly freezing, & lagging will not be approved. (It's 2021 now, and it's primarily a PC game. There is more than enough free software out there for you to capture your speedruns in HD. Atleast 540p, & up.)
It's your responsibility as a speedrunner to follow these rules as the community of speedrunning upholds the authenticity, and validation of speedruns with great honor.
They do lag, but not enough to where it could of been super suspicious.
From this post forward though, the mod team is going to start cracking down harder on such things. So please take the necessary steps not to submit such issues in the future. :)
