General Racing Rules
- Streaming is required for all races, as it is a means to validate races after completion. VODs are also required to be on, or VOD uploads must be available immediately after the finish of a race. Failure to provide a VOD with proof of your finish time will likely result in a disqualification.
- Only permitted glitches (listed as Competitive rules as seen below) are allowed.
- You may
!donein the#active-racechannel to complete your race when the mosaic pixelation starts on the screen, from entering the Triforce Room or after the animation of pulling the Pedestal is finished (for Pedestal Goal seeds). - All voice calls are banned while racing. If you have a phone call from family, work or an emergency, you are allowed to take these while racing, but we ask that they be brief.
- Auto-tracking is allowed. The auto-tracker can only perform the following actions automatically:
- Record and track any item collected by a player, or record items already pre-equipped (for example, starting Boots, Sword, Flute, etc).
- Record and track any Small or Big Keys collected by a player.
- Record when the dungeon boss has been defeated.
- Record and track checked locations that are not in a dungeon.
- Location checks inside a dungeon are not allowed to be autotracked.
- Emulator-specific functionality is banned (fast forward, save states, disabling layer rendering, etc), with the exception of "Joypad Swap", "Switch Controllers", or similar functions that allow changing your input device (controls must remain 1 for 1). The "runahead" feature must be disabled in RetroArch.
- 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) are BANNED.
Spoiler log race exception
- 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 ALTTPR Ladder Admins or an appeal can be placed in the #appeals channel.
ALTTPR Ladder Racing Ruleset
The following table is a list of techniques that are allowed in ALTTPR Ladder races. A "✓" in each column indicates that a technique is allowed for that rule set.
Most races are done under the "Competitive" ruleset.
Notes: 1: This technique can be forced by using certain settings in No Glitches logic.
