All scheduling will be done in the Official Kirby Speedrunning Tournament Discord. Every runner is required to join.

Runs are allowed to be done on any official release of the game including GBA, GBP, DS, 3DS Virtual Console, and Wii U Virtual Console.

Additionally you can use an emulator, there are two requirements when using emulator:

• The only two emulators you can use is MGBA and Bizhawk (with the mgba core)
• A BIOS must also be used. The GBA startup screen must be played prior to your matches

If you are running on Wii U Virtual Console:

• Usage of the fast loading glitch is banned. Please hard reset the game prior to Tournament matches to prevent this

All matches are required to be livestreamed, please ensure there is nothing covering your gamefeed and no additional sounds playing other than the game audio. These races will be restreamed on SpeedGaming. It is also reccomended to local record your gameplay in the case of your stream being disconnected.
