Race Rules
Streaming is required for all recorded races. Currently, we allow a race monitor (person who created the room) to disable streaming enforcement. This should only be done for tournament races on a stream delay or other scenarios where streaming shouldn't be enforced. Failure to provide a VOD with proof of your finish time will likely result in a disqualification.
Only permitted glitches (listed as competitive rules) for No Glitches logic races are allowed. An accessible set of glitch rules is available. There is a goal specifically for that ruleset. Major glitches goal is for MG/NL games, and Overworld Glitches goal is for OWG games.
No auto-tracking (unless clearly noted in the room info)
No voice calls with other racers (unless clearly noted in the room info)
Emulator-specific functionality is banned (fast forward, save states, disabling layer rendering, etc)
ZSNES and Snes9x 1.4x are BANNED (they probably don't even work anyway).
No controller turbo, no left+right or up+down
Do not get help from another human during the race, do not look at the streams of other players.
ROM and RAM inspection (except for auto-tracking, when permitted in the info) are BANNED
Spoiler log race exceptions
Looking at another player's stream is allowed for spoiler log races (and only spoiler log races).
If in doubt of the above, please ask!
Suspected rule violations or cheating should be raised to the ALTTP Racing Council. You can find them on the discord linked above.
