If you are doing IL No Rules Runs, All Race Maps, or any category without Stars Coins (also no version splits 17.0.9+) and you are using the newest version, you are at a disadvantage. All versions after 17.0.8 has inconsistent flagpole hitboxes and you can lose at most, half a second or even more if you have bad ping.

If you want to run these categories without this seemly random timeloss. Download the Mod Loader here: https://github.com/vlcoo/MvLO-ModLoader/releases

Select Mod Gallery and then vic's Custom Match-Inator
