Blue Fire Subcategory Rulesets

This document will cover all existing rulesets for the official Blue Fire leaderboard. For any updates or errors, contact emray. (Discord: emray#0314)

Not every main category will have every ruleset as a subcategory. To keep things simple, these will be added based on whether it applies to the category itself and overall popularity.

Force closes of the game will be temporarily banned for every ruleset except for Unrestricted, NQS, and No OoB. This is because in the future cutscenes will not add to IGT, and IGT will be the standard timing. Once that change happens, it won't matter.

If something seems like a major glitch, please let us know in the Discord before using it in runs. https://discord.gg/Zn9Rvy2vCR
