If the status of a controller's advantage is unknown, it will be at the discretion of the [[Elite Council]] and the community to decide whether or not the controller is acceptable.

== Converters ==
Third party PAL to NTSC converter cartridges have an unknown effect on the games themselves, and until proven otherwise, are fit for competitive play and ranking for both single level speedruns and full game real time attack speedruns on the-elite.net. If, at a later date, converters are found to have had an unfair advantage over non-converted runs, any ranked converted runs may be retroactively removed.
== Quality of Proof ==
=== Subsection i) Quality ===
Effective January 1, 2014, all significant records must have proof in the form of an acceptable captured video, with in game sound. The audio must not have a significant delay. The-Elite World Rankings page needs to be a showcase of The-Elite's skill with quality, watchable videos. Webcam, cell phone camera, or digital camera video quality is not acceptable. Significant records must be direct captures. Just because a video is captured does not mean it is acceptable quality. [[Chuya]]’s Attack Ship Agent 2:06 for instance is no longer acceptable quality. In game sound and clean bitrates are necessary. The community’s public opinion as well as the elite council’s decision will determine whether or not a video of a record is acceptable quality.
If a significant record is achieved without proof meeting the quality requirements, it will not be ranked, and will be backrolled in the same manner any unproven record is backrolled.
=== Subsection ii) Significant Records ===
A record is deemed "significant" and thus requiring captured, standard quality proof, in the following cases:
* it is untied
* it is tied by fewer than 11 people
* it is a non-tied time worth more than 93 points (ie: an untied 4th or 3rd place time on a level)
* any other record that is deemed significant by the council or community
=== Subsection iii) Grandfathering ===
Current significant world records (set before December 31, 2013) will be grandfathered. There will be no need to duplicate WRs which are in bad quality. However any untied world record achieved after January 1, 2014, without direct captured quality, will not count on the rankings.
=== Subsection iv) Music ===
Music videos are fine to make for recreational purposes but do not count as proof for world records. There must be an in game sound version of the video to count it as proof.
