Need help modifying leaderboards (Ridge Racer/PSX)

I would like to modify the leaderboards, But am not sure how to do so without losing the existing runs.

Instead of having a category for each car for each difficulty - I'd like to just have 2 categories per difficulty, Normal Cars and 'Super/Secret Cars'

The leaderboard recently got swamped with 100+ speedrun submissions.

tbh, I don't even know what you did to that poor leaderboard :o frankly, the IL board is just a mess, not entirely sure how to salvage that... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/342393845616738305/519095425928658956/unknown.png

You could start by putting the difficulties as IL categories, then going over the Level list and putting the proper levels (or, if that's not working, the cars each as an IL) then move the runs over to their respective places, then delete the old stuff.

I inherited the list like this.

I am truly and deeply sorry. That is a nightmare.

I would personally copy down the runs and info, preferably pasting all the relevant info into a pastebin somewhere or a notepad document, scrap it and work on resubmitting runs with the new format.

Whoever set that board up before seems to just have added absolutely every different iteration of car, which seems wildly redundant if anything. The end result is a ton of empty categories or categories that make no sense at all, even for ILs.

What I think happened is that there was some sort of misunderstanding of how to set it up properly, and at some point they just gave up to think about it and went with what we can see today.
