NSAK Racing Rules

General Rules

• Timer starts immediately upon pressing "A" on the screen where it displays your file's items.
• Timing ends with the collection of the last Key (typically 8 locked in helm)
• All races will be hosted on racetime.gg. You need to link your Twitch
• Racetime will be the official timing for the races. If racers are within 5 seconds of each other, the race mod will manually retime the race to determine the winner.
• Past broadcasts MUST be enabled. (On Twitch, go to Creator Dashboard > Settings > Stream. Enable “Store past broadcasts” and “Always Publish VODs”.) You also need to make a local recording in case internet/Twitch goes out
• You must NOT have any streams open for a race that you are involved in. This includes your username being present in twitch chats of other racers or any official restream. Any infractions will be an immediate DQ from the race, as well as further investigation to preserve race integrity.
