I was just confused about how the RTA is determined for runs without videos.

I notice the first 2 places have no videos, but they still have RTA times listed; but the 4th place run has a video, but only IGT time? Is it just an optional value that can be entered by the runner if they choose? Or is it from the mods retiming runs?

Thanks for the help, I'm just curious about the standards of this board! Legs

IGT has generally been preferred throughout the competition of this game. I think it's reasonable that with the competition being relatively spread out, it provides good enough granularity and it's kind of a unifier between various platforms that may or may not be perfectly accurate to the original platform.

RTA is simply optional, and if I knew how (if it is at all possible?) I would remove the field entirely for this leaderboard.

Edit: I've gone through each run and removed the RTA entries, and set the setting to hide empty time columns. I'll try my best to remember and remove people's RTA entries. I've also updated the rules to state that IGT is preferred, although if someone posts an RTA time I can just look at the proof to see what the IGT was.

WOAH all this data o.o

Thank you for the updates, I think it makes the board look a lot cleaner while still maintaining the same level of information. :)
