How are ILs timed?

I'm confused on how IL runs are timed. A run will be 8 seconds IGT, but say it's 7.100 on the site, for example.

So would this run be 6 something?

Sorry about the bad quality. I have a capture card, but no working PC at the moment. :(

In general, IL times on the board will be 1 second less than in-game time because in-game time starts on 1 second.

However, in your case, it would be longer than 6 seconds since you spent time in the home menu, which is included for our official timing but not in-game time. You'd have to count the frames.

When in doubt, you can just put an estimate or something and we'll retime it. :)
