Just for clarification, verified runs should have no cuts from the start of the first day of the contract until the after the IGT is shown at the end of the last day? For example, in my Rats run the restarted day is included and counted towards my total time, but in a recently verified run, failed/restarted days are not included. For multi-day contracts, can we restart days 2/3 until we get a time we are happy with (and not include them in our total time)?

When you restart a day, it's like in a normal speedrun when you restart a level because of a bad RNG. You are no more in a single segment but you change your category on multi segment. And in the leaderboard we want a single segment submission. That's part of the speedrun, trying to do the best one segment time. :p

That's what I thought (and how I've been doing my submissions). I asked because another runner and I were discussing what the "single segment" meant, and we weren't 100% sure either way. Thank you for answering :)
