Hi all, Pika here. It has been known for a while that the No R and No MT leaderboards are not accurate: a lot of old times are not included, and this issue has been bothering some people, including me, not exactly a fan of inaccurate charts. The issue was not regarding only old times, but new times as well: most of the displayed Best Know Times were, in fact, not the actual BKTs. So a couple of days ago, I decided to fix this issue... and I did. More than a thousand runs have been added to the charts! I highly recommend to check the rank of your previously-submitted runs, because they are 100% different. Here is every source used to add these runs:

I have added the times in a specific way, so that an accurate WR History can be built. That being said, there probably are a couple more runs that we are not aware of: in the Nsider Forums, which have been deleted in 2007, a couple of threads for No MT and No R times were made, however I do not possess any archive or backup of that thread. So, if you have some kind of source for these threads, please let me know, so that I can add the still missing runs!
And from Pika that's all! Have fun with the newly accurate leaderboards!
Hello karters, Pika here.
First of all I have reworded some of the Rules: some of them had typos and some of them were not clear enough, so I simply updated them for more clarity. Along with that, I have also made a thread where you can find out the sources of each player without a Speedrun.com
