[Notification/Alert]: Leaderboard timing method vote
4 years ago
United States

The much-discussed timing method vote for the speedrun.com leaderboards is now live! Voting is active from February 1st until February 22nd, 2020. https://q.zint.ch/ Anyone with a run verified on the speedrun.com/sms leaderboard will have their vote automatically counted. All other votes will be inspected by the mods and the poll committee for verification. The main point of this vote is to decide on additional timing methods to allow alongside the current File Select (with a new file) timing method. FS is not being replaced. Any new method that receives more than 50% of the vote will be added as a submission option, and will be distinguished by a variable on the leaderboard. There is also a question about whether or not the new timing methods should be visible by default or hidden with the ability to view them via a dropdown menu option. If you have any questions, please ask them in our Discord server, in the #lb-discussion channel! https://discord.gg/9dGJWEc

The results are in! https://q.zint.ch/results

Peach File and Hacked File will be added as new timing methods alongside the existing File Select (renamed as New File). All timing methods will be visible by default.

Thanks to Psychonauter for the technical implementation, to Arle Nadja and Strongman Lin for the Japanese translation, to the committee who helped make the poll, and to all who participated in the discussion around it on Discord!
