Also i'd rather put a time upper to the list if the time is actually lower. for instance a ~1:15:15 above ~1:15:50, (even if it is estimated) But that's just a personal oppinion.
The problem with that is the number of runs where we have estimates on the number of seconds is extremely small. I'm pretty sure only Miles and T3 have ever even mentioned their estimate for the seconds, and they both seem to be okay with considering runs with the same IGT to be tied.

After checking the points system I think it's actually a pretty good idea, I'm not entirely sure how points are awarded though & based on what criteria they are given for, and why Metroid Prime is worth more (?) than Metroid Prime 2
I've been messing with the formula a lot recently. I wanted to weight the categories based on the amount of competition there is in each one. I think the best way to measure that is by counting the number of people who have done runs for that category. If I left it like that, then Prime Any% would be worth 46/20 = 2.3 times as much as Echoes Any% and 46/5 = 9.2 times as much as Corruption Any%. This seemed pretty extreme so I decided to smooth that out a little bit by taking the ratios to the 0.75 power. Right now Prime Any% is worth (46/20)^0.75 = 1.87 times as much as Echoes Any% and (46/5)^0.75 = 5.3 times as much as Corruption Any%.
I also set up the Low% points to take into account the popularity of the other categories for that same game as well as the number of people who have completed the low%. (The more runs done in any% and 100%, the more the low% is worth, and the more people who have done low%, the less it's worth.) I'm also awarding double points for doing a low% SS run.
Anyone can view the actual formulas I'm using for all this stuff just by clicking on the cells, by the way.

Also, why are some dates highlighted red? I can't seem to figure out a reason why.
Red dates are dates where the person mentioned that they achieved the time some time in the past but didn't give a specific date. The red date is the date they first mentioned it.

If we need proof for Frigate escape times then nevermind but if not my best is a 4:29:!
Generally I don't think anybody needs to be proofcalled in this community unless they put up a completely ridiculous time out of the blue. Maybe that's naivete on my part, but we haven't really had any cheating scandals of which I'm aware.
