Why There Will Never Be Chapter Runs or IL's on This Leaderboard

I suspect that the question will arise in the future; ‘Why aren’t there Chapter Runs or IL’s on this board like for Scholarship Edition?’ My reasoning behind maintaining the leaderboard this way is simple, but I feel that a detailed explanation is necessary. I advocate for chapter runs, in fact they’re what I’d recommend to any new runner of the game. Practice those segments until you’re content with them, then put it all together in a single or segmented speedrun. What purpose do these runs have being on the leaderboard, however; other than a distraction from running the full game? People with real intent to run the game will run chapters, do IL’s, and whatever it takes without the need of validation from a leaderboard. The inclusion of these runs would be completely arbitrary, and it’s why my firm stance on the matter will be to not have them. To keep our leaderboard as clean as possible, full game runs are all that’s necessary. If you have any thoughts, questions, or grievances with my decision, feel free to comment under this thread. I welcome all conversation on the matter, and want it to be as open as possible.
