Proof Policy

Proving Times
In order to uphold rankings integrity, video proof must be provided for notable records.
At the end of each month, the proof moderator will review all submitted times and ask for proof of notable times. One month will be given to provide proof of claimed times. Times not proven within one month will be backrolled to a previously accepted time.
The following are the specific policies regarding proof of times:
All submitted times worth 60 or more points will be proof called.
Any other submitted time can be proof called for any reason.
Untied and untied slaying world records must be proven in 48 hours or they will be backrolled.
For "first to achieve" conflicts, the first to provide proof is ranked as the first to achieve the time.
Proof of date achieved must be shown for any records to be credited on the claimed date.
Untieds with new strategies will be backrolled if the strategy is not replicable in a proof call period.
Any video submitted will remain on the rankings permanently, regardless of removal by the player.
Proof Quality Standards
The following minimum video standards must be met for any time requiring proof to be ranked:
Video source is from direct capture device (capture card, VHS/DVD recorder, etc.).
In-game sound effects are audible on the video and are not significantly delayed.
Video resolution is at least 360p.
Endscreen is shown long enough to tell what the final time is.
The video is not too dark or too bright to see the run clearly.
Video is in full color (no black and white).
Video file framerate is at least 25 FPS with no excessive stuttering or frame drops at any point.
Video has no excessive frame blending or ghosting, see Example Image.
No apparent cropping of the video exists, see Cropping Guidelines.
The very beginning of the first cutscene of the level is included, see Cutscene Frames.
There is no obvious video artifacting caused by low bitrate, see Bitrate Comparison Video.
These non video quality related standards also must be met for a time to be ranked:
Original NTSC-U, NTSC-J, or PAL N64 cartridge was used
PAL/NTSC N64 cartridge converters were not used
Failure to comply with all of these rules will result in your submitted run being rejected by a proof moderator. You are encouraged to make a sample video and ask a moderator if it meets the proof quality standards.
All rankings category runs are subject to the same proof standards. Runs that require a change of settings must show the relevant settings before or after achieving the time.
Legitimate Practices
The following things are considered legitimate for any ranked run:
TNS (Time Not Saved) glitch
2.X control style used by a single player
Third party controllers or parts (Hori, superpad, fishing rod controller, replacement sticks, etc)
Cosmetic alteration, button removal on controllers, and input viewing mods
Tape, rubber bands, or other convenience alterations that do not provide inhuman advantages
Any runs that violate proof policy rules created after the run was submitted (Grandfathering)
Cheating
Any player caught doing any of the following will be permanently banned from the rankings:
Splicing, editing, or superimposing video and/or audio to fake a time
Using turbo controllers
Severe controller modding to combine separate 2.X controller inputs into a single controller
Intentional hardware manipulation that affects the game in ways impossible to reproduce normally
Using flashcarts (Everdrive 64, etc) or gamesharks
Tool assisted botting and other input scripting devices used via the N64 controller input
Two players sharing a controller(s) or a player claiming a time achieved by somebody else
Misrepresenting an emulator or other banned version run as a run achieved on an N64 console
Any prank runs that have no intention of being legitimate, such as April Fool's, must be cleared with a moderator prior to posting and claimed by the player as a joke upon first inquiry.
The Elite Council
