Credits Rule Clarification

We saw in the jam rules that:

Credits must be accessible from starting the game. Display them on the title or include a button/key/menu item to access a credits screen from the start of the game.

We have a credits screen accessible from the title screen, but we also planned on having a menu before the title screen where the player can pick a name for themselves. Would this be fine, since technically it's not quite accessible from the start of the game? It's probably only an extra 5 seconds of delay, so it still feels fitting with the spirit of the rule, but wanted to make sure that was okay.

Yes, that’s fine. It’s mostly to prevent needing to finish the entire game to get to them.
