It was found that there is a timing discrepancy for runs starting on Main Menu and those starting on Restart. To rectify this, main menu penalties (similar to the 3s penalty for runs starting from Restart) have been added to many sports.
All affected runs on the Base Categories and the Category Extensions have been retimed, so you may notice that the time of your existing personal bests may have increased by 1s.
You can find those penalties on the Game Rules section of the website. Here they are as well:
A 1s penalty will be added to runs that start from main menu and with: Duel, Speed Slice, Frisbee Dog, Archery, Pickup Game, Table Tennis - Match, Return Challenge, Bowling, 100-Pin, Spin Control, Canoeing (non-igt speedruns), or Cycling (non-igt speedruns).
A 1.25s penalty will be added to Swordplay Showdown runs that start from the main menu.
A 0.75s penalty will be added to Wakeboarding runs that start from the main menu.
A 1.5s penalty will be added to Skydiving runs that start from the main menu.
No penalties have been added to Golf, Frisbee Golf, 3-Point Contest, or Power Cruising
In the past, runs below a certain threshold could be submitted without video. Now, this system has been removed. All runs require video proof from now on.
