I've offered my assistance in preparing certain individuals in the tune-up to this year's Red tournament, but I also said I will not participate. To clarify this and to hopefully hold myself to my word, I will further define some rules I will be following. 0. Don't enter the Red tourney Yeah duh, that's the entire goal. 1. Follow a PP Up route I will allow flexing between fighting the Rt 3 Lass and without. I have pretty decent notes for both routes from last year, and for the purpose of helping other people prepare as a decent race partner or someone to help explain menus, this will suffice regardless of what the optimal route is now. 2. No PB attempts - unless it's a glitched category or Classic I just don't care about Red glitchless enough to do PB attempts. There's literally no way for me to break this rule, because I just won't have any temptation to break this rule. 3. No Nido extended Just not worth it given my goals to sink time into this. If I derust and get good enough to try every once in a while, I'll change this rule to "Only allowed to attempt Nido extended IF 11 Special at Level 6." 4. Palette Cans only I'm bad at Rock Tunnel, I'd rather just get the free version of it than try to go through it. 5. No yoloscrolling This has been a rule I've basically always followed, so I might as well just write it out. 6. No Silph bar or yolo Lorelei/Agatha/Lance Don't think there's any justification needed here. 7. (SCRATCHED) Do not enter a race unless someone I'm helping is in it and they want me there. I already broke this rule, and I'm actually having fun with the races. But sticking to only races. 8. Be ready to forfeit whenever if anything personal (family, health, etc.) pops up. Otherwise do not forfeit. Not going to enter races just for the sake of it this year because I don't need the practice the same way as last year. And as such, I have no need to feel shame for bad times, but I need to be ready for whatever real life throws at me. 9. Other rules I make for myself that aren't listed here will also apply. I just can't think of all the rules possible, but the absence of some rule here does not mean it doesn't exist. Miscellaneous Other Things A. Will I consider commentating? Yes. But only specific races/racers, and there's always the obvious condition that I need to be available.
