Hey, we don't have a start point specified in the rules but I'd like some clarity.

Most runners start by hitting the start button, and start time then.

However the current roadrunner WR holder starts the game by running off of the settings screen and starts time when the next screen pops up -- about a second after the other start time.

I have an unsubmitted run that ties the WR with the start time I've been using but is actually a second faster when you look at video comparison.

I think either option is a reasonable point to start the timer, I just want to know which one I should use.

For that matter, it would be nice to codify in the rules that time ends on last hit of boss and any difficulty setting is allowed. We had someone come into the discord a little confused about the difficulty.

Thanks.

Actually I realized my submitted run does that timing too...

I switched to hitting the start button so naturally switched to the other timing.

So yeah clarity please.

If the moderator just wants to make a call, thats fine by me. If we're weighing in opinions, I think that the start button is better as its easier to time consistently, its just not obvious that the start button still works from the options screen. So if we use that timing it would be worth noting that fact for newcomers in the rules text.

Obiiwan run was recalculated to 04:24. Your current PB is still 04:25.

Updated rules:

• Timer starts, when you press start on settings screen/main menu.
• Timer ends on the last hit on the boss.
• Any difficulty settings.
