Hello!

Since yesterday, the ability to add milliseconds to your time is now available on this game's run submission page. The main motivator for this change was the ever-rising trend of runners of Cup categories facing ties among each other, showing that the current comparison tools and the timing details weren't good enough anymore.

Before anything, I should mention that submitting a time down to milliseconds is, in most cases, optional. It will still be fine to submit a time ending in seconds, and to do that, simply ignore the milliseconds field, or ensure "000" stays on it.

The sole exception to "most cases" is if the time in question is in a Cup category and it takes the current top spot. In this scenario, milliseconds will be edited to the submission after retiming the run to ensure future WR ties are avoided.

I encourage the use of this tool for Cup runs due to their short nature. It is not necessary at all for 16/32/48 track runs. At least for now, until we start seeing ties going rampant there, lol.

Either way, I hope this helps!

Hey everyone.

Just typing in a quick post informing about some stuff that have been going around here.

--- Leaderboard Optimization

First off, a few days ago we went ahead and condensed the 48 Tracks and 32 Tracks categories, from 4 tabs to 2. The main intent of this was to reduce clutter as well as to help keep leaderboard interaction consistent by including the Item selector that was present in all other categories.

This was accomplished by moving all runs within those categories into a new leaderboard, so if you saw any notifications related to old runs being verified, this was likely the cause of it.

--- 32 Tracks "changes"

Recently, 32 Tracks briefly underwent an odd name change that was caught on the radar by some users. The main idea was to help create some clarification on the current category, which originally came from the Wii U version as a means for non-DLC users to compete on.

Such information, like the run's start and end point, as well as the Wii U origin tidbit, have now been added to the category's rules instead, preserving the category name as it was before.

Additionally, all categories have received minor revisions to their Rules sections for a little extra clarity.

--- New Misc. Leaderboards

As of today, a Shine Thief leaderboard has been added to the Misc. tab.

Yes, the 150cc/200cc selector makes no sense, but sadly it can't be removed for the time being. Weirdness aside, I hope this serves as a nice enough alternative for players out there!

There might be other experimental Misc categories coming up soon(tm), so stay tuned for those. :P

--- Other Stuff

The Discord server link has also been added to the sidebar menu. Easier access now.

That's all from me now. Thanks for reading!
