I've made a few, small changes to the way records are tracked here. As the strats are very much on differing levels, I've seperated the normal, 4 person hold times, from the times in which a spawn was blocked by the player. From now on, records in which a player blocks a spawn, integrates laps into an otherwise defend/hold/hybrid game, plays the stairs position or any combination thereof, those rounds will now be tracked in the Open Class category. Also, in the interest of simplicity, the added 5 minutes to a Team's clock will be dropped, instead favoring the actual time recorded by the timer.

The reasons for these changes are many. First, there are varying degrees of difficulty between these strats. Since they aren't of equal difficulty, it makes more sense to track them seperately. Also, while I personally do not play the Spawn Block strategy, nor do I have any use for it, I do realize there are those of you out there who have gotten your times in this manner. As it has become a part of Mall in some way, we shall continue to track it here.

Laps aren't allowable under World Record rules, so those records in which a hybrid game was played, will be tracked under the Open Class category. This isn't much of a change, it's mostly a slight recategorization to ease tracking of hybrid games.

The stairs position, at times, has buggy and/or strange effects on AI behavior, so rather than create a new category, for a rarely used strat, those will also go in the Open Class category.

Laps are only allowed in the Hold/Defend category for the purposes of health and/or recovery only.
