A rule was added regarding the conditions for approval of records in the "100 METERS" category.

There is some ambiguity regarding the QWOP goal determination, and sometimes the goal screen appears even if the run is under 100 meters, and sometimes the goal screen does not appear even if the run exceeds 100 meters (meaning that even if the record exceeds 100 meters, it does not appear on the NATIONAL HERO screen). We have added a statement that when the goal screen is displayed after less than 100 meters, it is approved as a record because the athlete has landed at least once at a place beyond 100 meters in many cases. Also, even if the goal screen is not displayed after 100 meters, it will be approved as a record. However, we ask that the timing of the timer stop be the same as other normal goals, and that the stop be made at the timing when the results screen appears after the landing.

If you have any questions about this addendum, please feel free to ask.

In addition, the rules were described through a translation site. If there are any strange points in the text, I would be happy to point them out.

That's a great idea. Do we need to retime some of the older records that were timed using the old method?

Thanks for the reply. It is very rare for a run to be subject to the newly added rule, and I don't think any of the runs currently registered are subject to it. Therefore, I do not think it is necessary to correct the time.
