Hello all, I'm just coming in here to inform you all how things are going and why so few runs have been verified recently.
The change to IGT (In-Game Time) has recently been the main factor in the slower pace of verification. The most recently verified runs have been done almost exclusively by yours truly as I've led the charge in this IGT change. Because we have organized for runs to be re-timed manually, making sure the guidelines we use are accurate and consistent has been a large part of the work that's been done.
But that's not all. To make a long story short another recent change in staff has caused a little bit of turbulence and confusion which has essentially frozen the queue. We aren't short-staffed but we need to reorganize a little bit, so that's what we're doing.
We will get to verifying all your pending runs as soon as possible, we are committed to getting that queue down to zero. To be honest, I probably want that more than some of you do ;)
All in all thankyou for being patient, if you can handle waiting just a little longer I promise everything will be sorted.

Hey everybody, one small thing to mention. The note Petrichor mentioned will only apply to runs submitted AFTER the date of HIS announcement. All runs submitted before that date will be retimed by Moderators.
An update concerning IGT retiming
Hello everybody! As you may already know FFPS is adopting In-Game Time (IGT) as the primary timing method on all leaderboards. This of course means that we (The FFPS Mod Team) have taken it upon ourselves to retime runs to IGT that don't use the game's Auto-Splitting Language (ASL) including those already verified which is a lot of runs.
This however is a very large task requiring a lot of work on our part. To give an example, a recently verified run required the removal of 94 seperate loads, each of which needed to be scrutinised frame-by-frame and recorded manually which takes a lot time.
I'll spare any more details for now but effective immediately we will only be retiming the top 10 runs of each category to IGT. If your run does not sit in the top 10 you can request for your run to be retimed to IGT, if you do, please message me or another one of us here on SRC about getting it retimed. This change will only apply for PC runs.
I hope this is understandable. Have a great day and have a great time speedrunning :)

Hello everyone, very quick but extremely important announcements.
We [the FNaF 6 Mods] have heard you. We have decided to change FFPS's ruleset to use an IGT timing across all leaderboards. For any runs that do not use the Autosplitter found here, please only fill out the "Time" field of your run, and not In-Game Time. We will manually do that calculation for you.
Next order of business. We were made aware of the monotony of having very bland glitches in the game's runs (notably by user PetrichorEssence), so, after some internal discussion, we have fleshed out and added a new NMG (No Major Glitches) category. This ruleset is still new, so expect some potential changes in the future.
Lastly, 2 quick shoutouts. First, to the new Verifiers that have done a STELLAR job handling the Speedrun.com (SRC) queue, making it less stressful for all of us, Mods and Runners.
Secondly, to this wonderful community, for your willingness to work with us, and your dignified manner I have personally come across through SRC's Message System. I am glad to have all of you here, and be able to keep such a fantastic group of speedrunners happy. :D
Enjoy your FFPS speedrunning journeys, everybody! <3
