=== Subsection i) Proofworthy Times ===   

It is up to the proof moderator to determine what is a decent time, (currently, the Goldeneye proof moderator [[Thiradell]] uses 80 points as this determination,) or anything that top players believe is beyond the scope of a player claiming such a time, based on his rank and experience (ie: 70th ranked player claims an untied 79 pointer on a difficult stage.)

=== Subsection ii) Proof Calls ===   

Proof calls will be made monthly, and players will have 1 month to provide acceptable proof.  Failure to do so will result in backrolling of a player’s time on that stage to their best record with acceptable proof.

Faking videos for obvious troll purposes, April Fool’s pranks, hilarious jokes, etc, with no intention of having the faked run on the world rankings, are exempt to this section.  It is advised to clear these pranks with a moderator to avoid any conflict.

Third party PAL to NTSC converter cartridges have an unknown effect on the games themselves, and until proven otherwise, are fit for competitive play and ranking for both single level speedruns and full game real time attack speedruns on the-elite.net.  If, at a later date, converters are found to have had an unfair advantage over non-converted runs, any ranked converted runs may be retroactively removed.

Effective January 1, 2014, all significant records must have proof in the form of an acceptable captured video, with in game sound.  The audio must not have a significant delay.  The-Elite World Rankings page needs to be a showcase of The-Elite's skill with quality, watchable videos.  Webcam, cell phone camera, or digital camera video quality is not acceptable.  Significant records must be direct captures.  Just because a video is captured does not mean it is acceptable quality.  [[Chuya]]’s Attack Ship Agent 2:06 for instance is no longer acceptable quality.  In game sound and clean bitrates are necessary.  The community’s public opinion as well as the elite council’s decision will determine whether or not a video of a record is acceptable quality.

If a significant record is achieved without proof meeting the quality requirements, it will not be ranked, and will be backrolled in the same manner any unproven record is backrolled.
