Results time!
So first off I'll disqualify Syzygy for talking about his times... just kidding
I know you guys have been waiting for the results, and this is the earliest I have been able to post them, so let's get to it!
We have a tie! More than one actually. Try to make sense of this:
1. jblewis -> 88 + 48 + 891 (also 88, 46, 900 in Lynx) = 1027
-- Ihavenoname248 -> 88 + 48 + 882 (also 88, 44, 896 in Lynx) = 1027
3. James -> 88 + 47 + 891 = 1026
-- M11k4 -> 88 + 47 + 891 (also 88, 44, 900 in Lynx) = 1026
-- random 8 -> 88 + 47 + 890 (also 88, 45, 899 in Lynx) = 1026
6. Syzygy -> 88 + 41 + 877 (also 88, 29, 884 in Lynx) = 1013
7. RB3ProKeys -> 88 + 46 + 874 = 1008
8. chipster1059 -> 88 + 41 + 862 = 991
9. ajmiam -> 88 + 20 + 763 = 871
10.Minus3K2 -> 79 + 8 + 699 = 786
Congrats to JB and IHNN for being the only ones to get 48 on the second level and thus secure the top spot! I believe this is the first time that more than seven people entered a Time Trial, and certainly the first time five people where within one second of the best scores. Even the next few spots were pretty tight, and a couple of the players clearly benefited from submitting times in both rule sets. I'll be handing out the appropriate awards and Chip Cup points soon.
We had a large tie on the last level, where three people sent in MS times of 891 and two others surpassed this in Lynx (which are considered equal to the highest MS time when summing the scores together). I have previously stated that I would consider using the Lynx times as a tie-breaker in case everyone submitted a time in Lynx, but now have realized that it would not be fair method (and at the very least would need to be stated ahead of time). Even though on this occasion we are left with a tie, I feel it was nice not to feel the need to squeeze out every move and still be happy with one's submission. It would be interesting to find a 892 MS route, or to combine some of the Lynx ideas and get past 900.
For various reasons, I wasn't able to upload the solutions for the last level, but here are the quickest ones for Sunday Jog:

I'll be posting the new Time Trial levels very soon, so I hope you all join in again!
