For timing on console since you don't click, i think time should be when you start moving since a run has to be verified, it shouldnt be too hard, besides you have to invite the other people(s) to the game. So i figure a countdown, and then starting the timer would be kind of an easy way to deal with ¤when¤ to start time. thoughts?

Basically time should be started with the start of movement in game, so you are correct

ok, just wanted to make sure, it was the most consistant thing i could think of

oh im glad i know this I was hitting start and losing 40 seconds waiting to get in game
