Uh…Recently I’m preparing for this and there are lots of questions for me.

1. Was the leaderboard ranked by real time or in-game time? I assume it is timed from [crossing the start line of the first map] to [crossing the end line of the last map] then it’s ranked by real time.

2. As the rule said, we must teamed in Duo challenge. However, Some ddmax map can’t be teamed (eg.Some of the nut-race) so what do we do then? Do we still consider these maps suitable for Duo challenge or move them to solo challenge?

I guess that’s all. btw I really this this category fun and we should develop about it since the rank of map-passing time can be found at ddnet.tw.

Answer 1: Timer starts after you cross the start line of the first map and pauses after crossing the finish line of the same map, then it resumes again at start line of the next map etc. till you reach the finish line of the final map (we do it to avoid timelost when changing maps with other players on the server that refuse to votechange).

Answer 2: General rules says: • In a multiplayer run, all the players should start in a team. So these types of maps are not considered in Duo challenges and no, they are not moved to Solo challenge because Solo challenge accepts only Solo, Dummy and Race map.

If you have more questions feel free to ask. 😛

@iKizu_ Um, so what about restart or killed during the maps?

Killing pauses the timer and so going through the finish line does.

@iKizu_ Thanks, that helps a lot.

@iKizu_ I’m back with more weird questions XD.

Some maps counts their time differ from RTA (as a example, “care for your time” this map add 6 seconds on its in game time every time I drop.)

Some maps (eg.Trackmania) have a forced start when you are on loading screen and plus, I must give a restart because I’ve already stuck when the map loaded.

So how should we deal with them💦

Time is counted in Real time so if map adds 6 seconds it doesn't affect your time on speedrun.com.

For forced start maps (eg. Trackmania) there are 2 scenarios 1: If you load in and play the map straight from when you've been loaded (right after you voted the map without killing) then the time counts from the first input you make on this map. 2: If you kill right after loading on a map, then the time starts counting the moment you touched the start line

Anyway you don't really have to worry about it because mods will do all the work for you and double-check if the timing is done correctly.
