Timing
Timing starts on reset (or power on), so after the countdown, reset your game. Be sure to clear File A on the file select screen beforehand so you can start without moving the cursor.
General Rules
Streaming is generally not required, however for larger races it may be enforced. All officially released versions of the game are legal for racing, if racing on emulator please use a leaderboard legal emulator (see the emu setup guide).
