United KingdomHello all!
None of you have probably ever seen my name before, I'm very much new here.... To Speedrunning in general in fact.
I've been a long time fan of speedrunning and love watching runs but then, when I finally decided on a game to begin learning and running, I find that the version I own is banned from speedrun.com.
Very disheartening honestly, but no shade intended, I have read through the forum posts and understand the reasoning behind it but as far as I can tell, anyone running PAL will have the same broken IGT and all PAL runs should still be or par with themselves.
As I browsed the forums I came across an interesting post and I paraphrase here: "why don't you create your own?" So... That's what I've done. The link at the bottom of this post is a simple Google sheets doc I threw together for PAL runners or people looking to get into PAL runs.
Am I expecting this to blow up? Absolutely not! But I always find the fun of speedrunning is having other runners to compete against, to help better your runs, build communities and all that good stuff and that's what I'm hoping for here. It's by no means an official leaderboard, just a bit of fun and should speedrun.com decide to introduce a PAL section, I will probably remove this document... Hell, if it ends up becoming bigger than I expect, I can try help transfer the data across in the event this ever happens.
So that's it... Good luck and god speed any PAL runners who use my humble leaderboard.
