Stunts tournament verification debate
DOSReloaded.de Stunts tournament verification debate refers to discussion within the Stunts (4D Sports Driving) community about the verification practices used in a monthly competition hosted on DOSReloaded.de. The tournament is organized via forum posts and typically accepts screenshots as proof of results, relying on trust rather than systematic replay checks. Stunts Contest in dosreloaded.de (Stunts Forum, 24 November 2022, accessed 28 August 2025). “Screenshot is enough as proof, replay does not have to be.”
Background
Since 2019, members of DOSReloaded.de have run an informal Stunts championship using NoRH (no Replay Handling) and strict no-shortcut rules in a trust-based setting.
Format and verification
Unlike some long-running Stunts competitions that require uploading replay files for cross-checking, the DOSReloaded.de format has commonly accepted a screenshot as evidence of a lap time. The difference has featured in community conversations comparing simplicity and trust against auditability and reproducibility.

Inter-community interactions
Between 2023 and 2025, racers from outside DOSReloaded.de introduced replay-based verification methods used elsewhere, aiming to share procedures and reduce ambiguity around rules interpretation. Some DOSReloaded.de forum participants perceived those interventions as intrusive, and discussions became tense. Following this, several outside racers reduced their involvement and offered apologies to maintain cordial relations between communities.
Notable participants
The racer Mooh has been noted for multiple DOSReloaded.de season titles and is frequently cited as a leading competitor within that tournament’s context, without any implication beyond adherence to the forum’s rules.
Aftermath
By early 2025, reports indicated a gradual easing of tensions, with broader recognition that parallel formats—trust-based competitions and replay-audited events—can coexist within the wider Stunts ecosystem.
