Rules:
=================================================================================================================
- English Version
- Standard bingo rules apply
- You will only receive points for the required number of goals, There is NO REASON to do additional goals.
- An item must exist in it's intended place on the menu at the end of the race to receive credit for it (Bottled items must exist in legitimate bottle slots)
- If a slot's value is negative, a bottle in the slot will count as the item being obtained. This is not the case for positive slots
- Duping Skulltulas or Heart Pieces is NOT allowed, and you must be able to display the number of skulltulas on your start screen at the end of the race.

=================================================================================================================
Clarifications:
=================================================================================================================
- Replacing or losing item in legitimate ways (upgrading hookshot to longshot, getting shield eaten) will remove the negative points
- Bomb bag on chu slot would remove the negative points for chus, and it does not count as the bomb bag for the equipment screen.
- RBAing away songs/medallions/stones will remove the associated points, positive or negative
- Having the wrong items in equipment slot will not result in points, even if the intended effect is achieved (e.g. fake quivers, dive meters, etc.)
- 3 Skulltulas are worth 1 point.
- 1 Full heart is worth 1 point; your first 3 do not count. You dont have to actually have the heart filled at the end of the race to receive credit for it.
- 100 Rupees is worth 1 point. Your rupee count at the end of the race is what matters.
- At the end of the race, pause and cycle through the 3 relative menus (for easy checking later)
- At the end of the race, points are the final deciding factor between racers.
- Ties will be broken in this order:
    - Number of Heart Pieces shown in inventory at end of race (5 hearts and 2 heart pieces = 2 tie beak points)
    - If still tie, Number of gold skulls that don’t complete a set of 3 (e.g. 4 skulls = 1 tie break point)
    - If still tie, the amount of time left when the last positive value item was collected (earlier collection wins)
