Exciting news, runners! Effective immediately, the stop time for all full game and multi-course categories will be changed to the frame when the text "GRADE" (or "グレード") appears on the final results screen.

This change addresses two key goals:

• Consistency: Previously, some categories stopped time at the cup completion popup, while others stopped at the final ranking screen. This update creates a uniform stopping point across all categories.

• Adapting to New Discoveries: A recently discovered skip allows bypassing the final ranking animation, which stops the rank achieved from appearing. This would have rendered timing runs utilizing this skip impossible. Setting the stop time to when the "GRADE" text appears ensures accurate timing regardless of chosen strategies.

Additional Information:

• The rules for each full game category will be updated to reflect this change.
• All existing full game runs (including obsolete ones) will be retimed using the new rule. You might receive notifications about these updates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
• We believe this change will ultimately benefit the community by promoting consistency when running these categories.

Thank you for your understanding!
