Disruption Pause Untimed Examples

[Isntmexion]

[Old Issue 32]
Reported by Knawk
Affected Rules/Sections: A.5.11.d) If a pause is done due to a disruption that could not reasonably be avoided (ex. pressing responsibility, medical issue), and the runner identifies and requests that said pause should be removed (either in the run’s speedrun.com submission description or in the thread in the official Discord server), the pause will not contribute towards in-game time (at the discretion of verifiers).

A list of examples on what would/would not be taken out for IRL disturbances should be added.

"Some reasons may include mental health concerns (such as panic attacks), IRL interruptions which couldn’t be reasonably avoided, fixing game lag, and other reasonings that involve things that are beyond the runners control. The pause must also make sense for the reasoning given, e.g. if you have short and frequent pauses and your reasoning was an IRL disturbance and asked to remove all of the pauses, it may not be accepted. If the runner believes most of their pause time would not be counted under this standard for a run not meeting the threshold, they may request a retime."
