-Super Metroid Relay Race 3 Winter 2017 Information
+Super Metroid Relay Race 2018 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 9 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, then the next person on their team will begin to run their assigned category. For All Miniboss RTA, the next category will begin once the last boss' drops appear. For example, if the order of the categories is as shown below, for example if someone is running Map Completion, the first category of the relay, their teammate that is running low% will start their run as soon as the final item collection percent shows up on the credits scene. This will be coordinated via "srl-ish" commands in the Relay discord. I will count down in #announcements for Map Completion 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 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 TBD. 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 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
 
 Category specific rules, tips, and safety suggestions:
 
 Map Completion:
 Must run with the romhack that I've created that displays map tiles collected in the HUD. This is to help you, the runner, ensure you have all the tiles, and to make it easy for people watching and commentating to be sure you are getting all the tiles. The number you're looking for at the end is 1244 when the ship starts moving up to escape Zebes. A time penalty of 10 seconds will be assessed for each UNINTENTIONAL map square missed. Intentional squares missed will be assessed as the situation calls for.

 Spacetime:
 if possible, please run on either emulator, VC, or with gamesaver, to reduce the possibility of failing the warps.
 safeties: spore spawn supers breaks even if you have to reset once on GGG. entering GT's room in morph makes it impossible to softlock via shooting beams accidentally
