Join the Elite
Important stuff
- We only accept times from the original Nintendo 64 versions of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. We do not accept times for remakes on newer systems or emulators.
- If you are on our rankings for one game but not both, you do not need to use this form to join the other game's rankings. You can log in and do it there.
- If you have ever been on our rankings before (including the 2000 era) then you probably already have an account.
New Member Quick-Start Guide
Why are you called 'The Elite', isn't that a bit... elitist
Because that's what happens when you let teenagers in the early 00s name your community.
New Member Approval
We have real-life humans processing all our new profiles, so you won't get instant access, give us a few days. Common mail providers (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) sometimes mark our emails as spam, (thanks mid-00s H4X0R!), so check your spam folder. If you've checked spam and are still having issues after a few days, join us on Discord and you'll be able to get help there.

Gaming Tips and Resources
- If you want to be fast, use the 1.2 control style, turn with precision, and take the shortest route possible.
- MadmanFlecher's The Comprehensive Guide to GoldenEye Speedrunning is recommended viewing for any new player. It includes information about how to get started, explains the rankings/points system, and mostly applies to Perfect Dark as well.
- The forum is filled with amazing guides like A Beginners Guide to Getting Started and How to Improve.
- If you're interested, you can also check out the License to Kill/Dark License to Kill (LTK/DLTK) challenge modes.
