Hi, it seems my in-game speedrun timer starts counting late (after turning white). For Any% runs, the game-provided splits can be used, but how about Death%? Do I need to manually time my run or is that something the moderators do and I don't have to worry about?

I'm new to speedrunning in general, so please don't flame me for the second option if that isn't true.

Just found https://www.speedrun.com/grace/news/y3gzy5xg which hints at the second option. Is this correct?

I've submitted a Death% run and it got retimed and verified, so the second option is correct.
