Streaming Rules:

• All races must be streamed. You must stream your races on Twitch and archive all VODs until the end of the tournament. Be sure to verify Twitch has not turned off your VOD saves due to copyrighted audio being detected.
• You must continue streaming until the final credits (collection rate and in-game time).
• Although not required it is highly recommended that you keep a local recording of your races. If your stream goes down during a race (internet issues) you may be asked to provide proof of your finish time. Local recordings of your entire stream are preferred to just raw game feed and are sufficient to determine the result of a race. If you are having internet issues leading up to the race please do not continue and race anyway. Instead please let an admin know and reschedule. If you have internet or technical issues (for a moderate/significant period of time) and cannot provide a local recording then you will be forfeited from that match. There will be no rematches.
• If for any reason you were unable to .done correctly during your race, and it will have a meaningful impact on your result, please let an admin know and we will re-time your run.
• Failure to appear for your scheduled race, without any notice to your opponent and the admin team, will result in a forfeiture of the race.
• If playing on an emulator you are allowed to fast forward through the end credit sequence but you must show the entirety of your game statistics sequence at normal speed. You must let the statistics sequence finish to the point where it shows your final in-game time and collection rate.  Pressing X/Select to fast forward the credits on console is permitted (you do not need to slow down during stats because it's not fast enough to require that).
• We will be using the ruleset as set out by The ALTTPR Racing Community (TARC). TARC’s ruleset includes the official ALTTPR Racing Ruleset. Please consult this document for clarification on what is and isn’t allowed in competitive ALTTPR racing (http://alttp.mymm1.com/wiki/Rulesets/ALTTPR/Racing).
