Seeing as how the game doesn't actually start until you select whether you are a king or queen (existing saves do not get overwritten until you do so, either), it does not make sense to include it in the timing of the run. Therefore, the rule has been changed to start the timing of the run when you select King or Queen. All existing best runs with video have been adjusted accordingly.

I was gonna ask about this, being that the wr time starts upon selection of king or queen that’s how i started my time. Thank you for the clarification
