We decided to do a bit more leaderboard shifting this week! For starters, All Chapters has been moved to a miscellaneous category on the main leaderboards. This was done largely due to it sharing so much in common with 100%, but 100% had over double the unique runners... despite being all of an All Chapters run and more. If you’re committing to playing over an hour and a half of Celeste, it seems people understandably decided they might as well "do everything" and run 100%. To make room for other main categories, we decided it was best to put it to misc. As well, it fits in nicely with All A/B/C-sides in misc!

Speaking of main categories, Bny% has now been moved from category extensions to a main category on the main leaderboards! If you’re unfamiliar, Bny% is unlocking Epilogue from a new file similar to any%, but with the restriction of not being allowed to complete any A-sides. Instead, you must progress in every chapter by grabbing the cassette and completing the B-side.

Bny% has always been the most popular non-assist category extension, and we agreed that it has legitimate uses as a main leaderboard category - it’s a good branching off point from any% in terms of gameplay length which the leaderboard was a bit lacking in. As well, most categories that contain all of the B-sides require a large learning commitment on top of knowing B-sides (A-side hearts, Core A, C-sides, etc), which has made categories like All Hearts difficult to get in to. Hope to see more people picking up or revisiting the category in the coming weeks!

In addition to the board changes, we have a few other things to mention from the last few weeks:

• The Save and Quit rule has received an addendum that bans using them to "beneficially alter cycles" in ILs. this is only relevant for cassette block rooms.

• We have standardized how we handle overlays covering the top-left of the game feed. We now explicitly allow covering the in-game timer with a simple livesplit timer showing hundredths of a second, but only if the berry counter directly below that is visible. If at all possible, it is still encouraged to put livesplit elsewhere on your overlay.

Some staff changes: @Sickly stepped down from the SRC Team, and @frozenflygone will only be verifying for Modded Content boards going forward. Thank you both for your time on the main boards!

And finally: The "All Chapters" IL category has been renamed to "Heart+Cassette".

With All Chapters finding a new home in the Misc tab, this change was made so that it is clear from a glance what this category of ILs means.
