WR based on IGT

I've been wondering lately if we are putting IGT on all runs now why not make IGT the only thing that matters for the rankings? Just as a example I know I have 2 WR's that are slower using IGT. My flower cup, no skips, Balanced items run beats 2nd place by 3 seconds when my IGT is 5 seconds slower and my Star cup no skip, on items run is a bit under .1 slower on IGT but is WR by 2 seconds. I can't be the only one that thinks that's dumb. If we are timing it now why not rank based on it. At least going forward and for all current runs that have IGT if mods don't want to go back and check all the other times?

I don't know mate but I totally agree with you

The mods agree that it's dumb, but there's a transition that needs to take place before we entirely convert to IGT. Basically all the existing runs with videos need to have their IGT logged and entered onto this site and @charlocharlie 's spreadsheet he has made to keep data and to keep things organized. To expedite this process, you could help us mods out by submitting your runs with the IGT already calculated and entered or help with IGT calculation and entry of runs already on the site. Edit: to make myself clear, we do indeed plan on entirely converting to IGT to time runs, but it's a long transition taking place to get us to that point.

Glad to hear this IGT will be a much more fair way to rank runs. will be happy when the transition is fully made

@Mariodude34500 I noticed you deleted a bunch of your runs. Any reason for that?

@charlocharlie Deleted two of them because they were WRs which were slower IGT then 2nd place and I think that's a BS way to have a WR so i deleted them so the person who should have WR has it. Aside from that I normally will delete my runs once they have been beaten by me or someone else and are no longer records.
