I am not sure how much this effects runs however I have seen that some runs have been quite laggy which means that they stay in the loading area for a while. The only issue with this is that the iron is still spawning before they get in and so when the timer starts as they spawn in the game, there is already 8 or so iron in the gen so they don't have to wait as long for it to generate therefore getting faster times. An example of this is my old run here: where I spawn in after a lot of iron had already generated. There might be need to change the timing system so maybe when the match starting in x seconds icon disappears could be the start of the timer. Would be problematic because all the runs would have to be retimed.

I was looking at the speedruns for Win - Duos, No Party and realised that there was a guy who got a 1m 26s which is over twice as fast as everyone else and then when I watched the run it turns out that he was speedrunning telepearl and not a win and there was no win shown in the run.

Not sure if he should be in that category but should instead be in the Item - Telepearl, No Party category.
