Cup runs will now require you to start on the proper starting track.

All pending run submissions from the last month-or-so have been verified! There are a few new WRs we need to frame count still, but those will be done tonight/tomorrow. We've added a few more moderators and hopefully the backlog will never get this bad ever again.

Anyways, rules change. Cup runs will now require you to start on the proper starting track.

This means you can't submit a cup run that is part of a larger run unless it is the first cup of the run.

You can still time 16 and 32 track sub-runs inside a 48 tracks run. But, this means you cannot submit Flower/Star/Special Cup runs with a Nitro Tracks run anymore, Banana/Leaf/Lightning with Retro, or Triforce/Crossing/Bell with Bonus.

We are doing this for a few reasons - to reduce the number of run submissions is one, and to encourage players to run cups as a shorter category with very little margin for error is another. Hopefully we see more fast cup runs from folks!

Eventually, we will have manually timed all of the main categories with in-game time and we may change this rule when we begin using in-game time for Cups.
