Update About Freestyle and Runs Including Freestyle
7 years ago
St. Louis, MO, USA

Earlier in the ATVOF leaderboards, there were runs that included doing freestyle and having a very convoluted method of timing that I really didn't think was clear as the racing championships. As of now they are removed until a later date. I have talked about this issue to speedrun.com admins.

My desire is to leave the racing championships across all games the same (having in-game time be the primary timer, and real time being secondary), but as for the Freestyle, and All Gold Trophy runs i would like having real time be used predominantly and in-game time as secondary (or not at all). The main reason for this is because freestyle runs do not give a true in-game time.

Before I brought this to the Admin's attention, on October 15th 2016, Lighnat0r asked if people had any timer-related issues that needed to be addressed in a coming update of speedrun.com (http://puu.sh/upBbN/44559afcb5.png). I told him my dilemma and he said a fix for my issue is already in development! (http://puu.sh/upBCQ/690e89fadb.jpg)

So until this update arrives, Freestyle will not be included in the leaderboards just for simplicity reasons.
