Mainly, if the game crashes, do we count the crash out of the time, or only the loadings?

Yes, currently we also remove the crashes from LRT to keep the competition more fair and less RNG dependent.

I believe the amount of time removed is last frame of the game before crash, to first frame of loading screen after coming back to game and pressing "continue," but it's been @SlivenKage doing the retimes so far so he'd have to confirm.

Note that you don't have to manually retime your runs before submitting, we have to re-check it again anyways so unless you're doing it for your own comparison it's not worth your time
