Hi. I have noticed that the RTA timing submitted in level leardboards are not accurate at all, so I am here suggesting it to change. Andy's House lap trial, for example, has almost 1s gap by the first and second positions, while in the 'in game time' Victor finishes only 0.4 ahead of the former world record time. I have gotten a time that finishes in 7.0 (0.5 faster than Victor's PB) - ; however, when I used Yua to see my RTA timing in this level, yet it was slower than Victor's PB: http://imgur.com/rkLWeto
So, I really want to see this issue fixed and the way to do is all up to you @remln64. After it I most likely be submitting my 7.0 WR :)
I am not sure if the second option is viable, but it's still the most precise idea.
The first option seems fine; however, it will be easier to have tied world records because the timing is not precise, but it's surely more accurate than the one that is being use right now. I myself believe that using the In Game Time and doing the maths are ok, and if we get any kind of troubles we would still have the possibility to change it. Also, if you decide to use the IGT idea, you might want to specify in the leardboard rules what time you need to subtract to do the maths. I certainly would change to IGT timing (doing maths as you said in your post).
