CT Leaderboards

Overview
The MKDD CT Leaderboards is a spreadsheet documenting the best time trial times for MKDD's custom, retro, and imported tracks. Its current moderator is tarsa129, helped by updater ThijsFire.

Rules/Guidelines
These rules are mainly for consistency and are very loose.

For Players

 * Submit your times by telling them to tarsa129 on discord at tarsa#8462.
 * You must play on an officially and publicly released version of the track. This means no playtest versions, but previous versions of custom tracks are allowed.
 * All mods are allowed except those that change game physics (i.e. extra speed ar codes and kart stat edits)
 * Emu and console are both allowed. Savestates before flap attempts is okay (and encouraged).
 * Proof requirements are very loose and based mainly on trust. Times will be submitted and believed until there is a good reason to suspect them (i.e., a new player suddenly getting a world record).
 * Players may ask for any time to be removed from the leaderboards at any point.
 * Assume that shortcuts are banned except for those listed on the track page on the leaderboard.

For Track Creators

 * Your track will not be automatically added to the leaderboard. You can either ask tarsa129 for them to be added on discord at tarsa#8462, or they will reach out to you themselves.
 * Once a track is added to the CT leaderboards, it will not be removed unless every person who has submitted times for that track agrees.
 * If a track is removed from the Wiki, then a public download link must be provided on the CT's leaderboard page.

For Other Creators

 * If you choose to edit a kart stat, it is not allowed to be played for the CT leaderboards. It is encouraged to mention which (if any) karts have been altered in this way so that players know which karts to avoid.
 * In practice, people will mainly use the Barrel Train.

FAQ

 * How are the overall rankings calculated?
 * On the overall leaderboard page, there are two rankings, one using PRSR and one using AF. The PRSR ranking is considered the "official" ranking.
 * What is PRSR?
 * PRSR stands for Personal Record : Site Record. The concept comes from the mkdd player's page.
 * For any given time, the PRSR is the world record time (in milliseconds) divided by the time (in milliseconds). This means that the PRSR for the world record is always 1, and that a higher prsr is better.
 * Then, the PRSR for every player is averaged. If a player has not played a track, 0 is used as the PRSR. These averages are used to rank players.
 * What is AF?
 * AF stands for Average Finish.
 * For each player, their rankings in each category are averaged. If a player has not played a track, it is assumed to be in last place (for that track).
 * For example, someone with world records in all category would have a perfect AF of 1.0. A lower AF is better as it means lower rankings in each category.
