hey thanks for verifying my run F1 i have a quick qeustion about the starting time of runs when exactly did u start the timer? i might do a few runs tonight so ill also be remaking splits.

do we start on the start of the level or when we place the first tower?

Of course, my friend. Working with you has been nothing less than a pleasure.

Similarly to other Bloons games, timing should start upon "Play Game" after difficulty selection. Runners should not be able to set up towers before the run starts.

Hopefully this clears the air and this message finds your family safe and well. Cheers!

ok boss i agree with you there
and same to u and ur family i hope all is well

I agree with the decisions and ideas being put forward. I strongly dislike the idea of setting up towers before the timer starts because placing towers is a huge part of Bloons TD speedrunning. I'm glad we all seem to be on the same page.

To be safe, it is best to run a community poll in case one of us is lying through our teeth.
