Super Metroid / A Link to the Past Relay Race 2019 Information

I have been getting a lot of questions about how the race would actually work, so here is a rough explanation. There will be 4 teams of 6 people, each person on the team will run one entire category from start to finish. Once this person has completed their category, for full game categories, they will wait until ITEM COLLECTION PERCENT has shown up for Super Metroid, and at the change from white to black after picking up the triforce and leading to the credits sequence for ALTTP., then the next person on their team will begin to run their assigned category. This will be coordinated via "srl-ish" commands in the Relay discord. I will count down in #announcements for *low% SM* runners, and runners will .done in their respective team channels to let the next runner know when to begin.

Rules regarding playing:

Important Note: For ALL SM categories during the relay, regardless of skill level or confidence in your abilities, deaths or major setbacks happen.  To have the relay run as smoothly as possible, I am requesting that ALL runners make backup saves, either on a separate cart or flashcart, or something so that in case of death or some other catastrophe, there is a quick way to jump back into the relay without having to completely restart. This does not mean savestates are allowed or are to be used. You are REQUIRED to make a minimum of 3 saves during the run. Every category (randomizer will not have backup saves, for obvious reasons) and every runner is subject to these rules. There will be a 1 minute time penalty assessed for each save not taken.

Rules regarding streaming:
You will be streaming to an RTMP server that will be restreaming your gameplay content to speedgaming. Please stream only game audio and only game feed. if you have follower/sub/donation alerts, please turn them off for the duration of your run. Please be available up to an hour before your run is scheduled to start. The time estimates I've established for this relay are VERY generous, and it is VERY likely your team will be ahead of estimated start times.

There is a guide to setting up your stream correctly: https://pastebin.com/hK30rr61
