The new rules committee (consisting of myself, Thorn, Zeupar, SadisticMystic, DarkSpinesSonic, Paraxade, and Spinballwizard) has gotten together and discussed some rule adjustments, which will go into effect forthwith:
General: "Statistics are taken from the time the timer stops" has "at the end of the level" appended to the end.
"In any game where there is a co-op mode, the 2nd controller may not be used."
Sonic 2 rings and scores: "For Knuckles charts, entering a special stage is not allowed, nor is dying after hitting a starpost." will be adjusted to "Entering a special stage is not allowed," and "For Knuckles charts, restarting from a starpost is not allowed."
The following two were in the rules previously but removed recently, and are to be restored:
Sonic 3: In Launch Base 1, you may not set off any alarm more than twice.
Sonic & Knuckles: In Lava Reef 1, you can't destroy a badnik which came from the same origin as a badnik you already destroyed.
Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2: "Emulation features allowing this game to be played in PAL are prohibited."
Knuckles Chaotix: "If Level Select is active, you may not pause the game while the screen fades."
Sonic Unleashed PS3-360: In "If you restart the level between the mission being completed and your time/score being saved, by dying or otherwise, your time doesn't count," "dying" is replaced by "selecting to restart."
For "You may not gain points from the same trick ramp more than once," "trick ramp" will be changed to "quick-time event"
Furthermore, charts for night level scores will be eliminated as soon as possible due to infinite score potential in the majority of stages.
