Hello all. I have previously attempted contacting the moderators regarding the rules of the 9 hole runs. The current world records for both the Tri-Planet Open and Sparkathalon Cup both abort all 9 holes; however, the rules state:

Beat the cup as quickly as possible. Timing starts when you click on the cup and ends when the ball goes through the final ring.

My interpretation of this is that you must complete the last hole the normal way (ie: not aborted), since the clock should otherwise not be stopped. I also believe this to be more interesting and fun than aborting all 9 holes.
