Welcome to RTA Review

RTAReview is a fully automated stream which selects runs to feature from recently verified impactful speedruns on Speedrun.com. This project was envisioned as a way to showcase exciting speedrun accomplishments and stories from across the wider speedrunning community in a single place, and to help people find runners and games that they might never have stopped to watch otherwise.

RTAReview is not associated with Speedrun.com, but utilizes the API that they have generously made available to identify and share recent accomplishments of runners from across the entire site.

What are the requirements for being featured by the channel?

When selecting runs to be featured on the channel, RTAReview filters submissions down by various criteria.

• Runs must be for a full-game category.
• Runs can be between 6 minutes and 12 hours long.
• All players in a run must be registered Speedrun.com users. Unregistered guests are assumed to be unaware of the run being submitted on their behalf.
• Runs with video proof that is substantially longer than the declared or inferred real-time run duration are omitted.
• Runs of most derivative game types are omitted, such as ROM hacks and fan games.
• Runs performed on mobile platforms or other platforms with non-standard display output are omitted.
• Games which are known to currently contain Generative AI assets are omitted. (It is not feasible to automatically filter on this condition in all cases. Please privately contact the mod team with a link to the disclosure or proof of GenAI usage if you are aware of it. Games may be reinstated if the offending materials are removed.)

Safety

Runner Non-Participation

If you are a runner who for any reason does not want to potentially have new runs featured on this channel, please send a message to the channel administrator via a message on Speedrun.com indicating this and your account will be excluded from consideration.

Your notice must be sent from the Speedrun.com account that you want to have excluded. In the case of multiple accounts, each account must message separately to prove ownership.

Inappropriate Content in Featured Run

While it is unlikely as Speedrun.com has its own rules about content allowed to appear within video proof submissions and all featured runs have undergone moderator verification for their respective leaderboards, if you witness objectionable content from the runner, their guests, or the game itself in a featured run, please notify the channel moderators in the stream chat or in the RTAReview Discord with the pertinent information so the run may be skipped and the runner and/or game may be excluded from being featured in the future as appropriate.

Compliance

RTAReview is committed to fostering a safe stream environment in alignment with both the Twitch Community Guidelines and Streamplace Community Guidelines.

• Games which are in Twitch's List of Prohibited Games have been proactively excluded in cases where a Speedrun.com leaderboard exists for them.
• Games which are not included in this list but exhibit similar themes or are otherwise likely to violate community guidelines will also be excluded upon discovery.

Disclaimer

RTAReview reserves the right to omit additional games and runners from consideration in featured programming for any reason.
