The Burning Crusade Phase 3 Overview
T6 Progress
BT/Hyjal Rules
As BT/Hyjal is a combined raid, we're adding some restrictions for the first 5 guilds to clear to prevent multiple raid groups from clearing a raid each for a combined rank.
Maximum of 28 unique characters allowed per raid group
You need to enter fresh raid instances. Having someone else pre-clear trash or skip ahead to summon while you're in the other raid is not allowed.
All bosses must be killed.
Please keep in mind that these rules are in place to allow for competitive and fair progression rankings. If you have feedback, questions, or concerns, please join our Discord to discuss.
We highly recommend you save videos of your progress raid to prove you followed the requirements.

Multiple BS Items Exploit

Misc Healing Exploits
Using Crystal of Zin-malor or Life Tap to pad healing parses will invalidate your parses.
Complete Raid
Complete Raid on Warcraft Logs means doing the full raid in one go. This has a clear starting point and ends when the last boss is killed. The Start/End point can be seen in the Speedrun rules below.
Doing a Complete Raid rewards you with Complete Raid parses. This includes Speed parses for Guilds and Boss Fight DPS parses for personal parses.
Boss Fight DPS
This is the parse for all boss encounter DPS combined, only counting kills. This requires you to do the full raid in one raid day.
Boss and Trash DPS
This is the DPS parse for all boss + trash encounters combined, counting everything. This requires you to do the full raid in one raid day. Everything (unless explicitly said so above) is included for overall boss/trash, even excluded adds, and downtime is not factored in.
T6 Speedruns
This article lists all the speedrun rules for T6 (Black Temple & Hyjal) on Warcraft Logs rankings for Fresh Anniversary Servers. If you have any suggestions or questions, please join us on Discord to discuss.
We have some general rules for Speedruns:
No pre-clearing is allowed.
Don't skip trash or pre-position using methods such as stealth, pre-summoning, or similar.
No mid-run summon group outside of the raid is allowed.
You should also read the general Speedrunning Rules on Warcraft Logs article.
Also note that speedruns also need to follow the banned parsing list. Any buff banned for parsing is also equally banned in speedruns as an invalidated boss fight will also invalidate your speedrun.
Speedrun Video Requirement
For the top 5 guilds at the end of the phase, you must upload a full, uncut video clearly showing:
Instance being reset before entering
Any in-instance assembly/summon prep
This video should be uploaded to YouTube and linked to the corresponding combat log.
