I noticed that the royal rumble in this game has a in game timer.

I’d like to ask could we use this timer instead?

It would make it over all more fair. For every platform as it’s game time and not real time. Once the screen turns black the platform with the fastest loading times will have an advantage over the others.

It would also make your 10 man run faster at 3m 48s instead of a 4m 2s

I just copied the svr 06 timing so it will be kinda strange for the game to have a different timing method

Are emulators allowed? Or is it console only?

everything that can run the game is allowed, so yes.

Having tried this run on Xbox 360 I have to agree the in game timer seems to make the most sense. (Given that the SvR 2006 leaderboards were wiped) Totally up to you guys but on Xbox I'm getting load times that are up to 20 seconds slower than emu.
