Elite Proof Policy

The Elite Proof Policy is a document outlining the requirements of competition that must be met in order to be ranked on the-elite.net. The document makes every effort to compile an exhaustive formation of all things one may encounter while speedrunning GoldenEye 007 or Perfect Dark and appropriate responses for actions that may take place in the course of competitively speedrunning these games.

Revised December 30, 2013.

Section 1) All decent times must have proof.

Subsection i)

It is up to the proof moderator to determine what is a decent time, (currently, the Goldeneye proof moderator Axel Z 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 89 pointer on a difficult stage.)

Subsection ii)

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.

Subsection iii)

Proof calls can take place in other instances, such as someone posting all 79 point times across the board, in an attempt to be just under the personal record quality for a proof call (the Greg Larkin rule) or someone posting all 40-50 point times across the board, in an attempt to remain in the top 50 without having ever provided a video (the Andrew Kent rule.)

Section 2) All legitimate records submitted are property of the-elite.net

Subsection i)

When a record is found to be completely legitimate, it will stay on the rankings forever. No exceptions. These are the world rankings and as such, all the times of the world are ranked here. No one is able to remove their times.

Subsection ii)

You are permitted to have your name changed on the rankings as a matter of personal security, job security, or political ambition.
