Myself and Darkid encountered an interesting issue when I posted my new run on both any% and RTA (as I wanted to updated my horribly outdated RTA time). My in-game timer was 4 sec ahead of p-why's previous WR any% run, but 2 sec behind in RTA. So when I posted mine to the RTA category it was ahead. We were puzzled by this, and discovered that all categories have to either be sorted by in-game timer (IGT) or RTA. Most Braid runners care little about RTA, so after talking together, and with p-why's blessing, we decided to remove the RTA category from the speedrun.com/Braid.

We've been able to add our RTA time to our any% runs for some time now, and nobody is racing Braid atm, so we feel the category serves no purpose. One small purpose it might serve is for players who want to optimize the puzzles themselves in the game and dislike players who takes pauses in-between levels or strait up hits the menu button to take a break. To address this, we have added a rule to the any% category that players "are not allowed to idle when the IGT is not running for extended periods of time" for all runs sub 26 min. The mods will judge what time will be interpreted as "extended", but we will be quite liberate here. If something suddenly happens that won't take too long in the middle of a run, we won't reject it based on that.

Good luck on future Braid speedrunning endeavors!
