Declared winner

Declared Winner is a term for when someone has been determined the victor in a match. The declaration still counts toward the winner's progress in whichever tournament the match is taking place in. The rules in effect during the match also play a part in how a winner is declared. While it is often that the match has a clear and obvious winner, there also exist cases where the winner is ambiguous.

Situations
Situations which can result there being no clear victor in a match include:


 * The match finishes in a Draw.
 * The match is considered Void and the victory does not count.
 * The match is part of a best of 3/5 series and does not stand on its own.
 * The match is classed as a Triple Threat Match where there are two victors instead of one.
 * At least one competitor drops out before, during, or after the match, making the match itself void. A replacement is then determined, if necessary.

Declaring Oneself the Loser
One may declare themself the loser if they have at least started a race with their competitor and their competitor has a video up with them completing the chosen goal. Even if someone has drawn or won a race, they can still declare themselves the loser.

If their opponent does not have a video up of them completing a goal after they started a race with them, then they cannot declare themself the loser and instead it is counted as Void. Even if one has recorded a speedrun with someone; if their opponent has not recorded any video, it is again counted as Void. This gets very sketchy, when one can base who is going through with their opponent by anything and not necessary what the tournament's theme is. This is viewed as an inevitability, and can't be stopped. People can easily pretend to do horribly on a speedrun without anybody realizing, if desired. Otherwise, if one is able to declare themselves the loser, their opponent is the declared winner.
