Hi to everyone who read this. Happy to see people are still running Rugby 08. Was checking some run and saw that timer still start at team select and not when the game start ( or when the ball is kicked). Any chance we can change that so every current/new speedruner can have the same chance ?

Thank you guys

Hey Manu !

Good point raised about the start of the timer. As I know there is some menuing needed depending on what category being ran and can be abit of a bitch to get down.

May be worth taking a vote on when timer will start, what setup is allowed pre run and other little things.

But I will say that menuing speed does come with the more runs done and more time spent on the game.

The only way it changes everyone having the same chance is load times, which is already split from pc to console. So everyone does have the same chance already in my eyes... But that's just me :)

Obviously want to be as helpful as possible to new and returning runners, so if anyone has questions, ect. Just drop me a message :)

Cheers

Most of category can be run on all plateform, but when i look into "Bonus Point", Pc has a 6s loading, PS2 emulator has 20s. Since the run is 1m52 only people on PC can compete ( Scottehboy run is a good exemple even tho Richties has the same loading as PC). The goal is not to have 3 category, cause it will be boring, but have the same start of the run ( like for exemple "Score a try" where the time use is In game).

I get you man. Well we could split everything to pc and PS2 (minus the score a try categories) but with the community being as small as it is, might be worth reviewing timing starts ect.

Also might set up a discord for such discussions and for everyone to share research :)

We don't need to split more category, just to change when the timer start. We keep the curent run and WR, just correct the time. On big time run, it's not a " real" problem, like the 6 nations for exemple. We can setup a discord, will be fun

Hi everyone, how's it going? Maybe for the "bonus point" and "100 point" categories we could use the in-game timer in order to eliminate problems relating to when the run start or those caused by loading the game from the PC or ps2 and then unify everything. For long runs (6 nations, world cup, 3 nations and trifecta) we can let the timer start when you choose the game mode.
