Yeah definitely a pain spot :/

At some point we also want to have a Mass Run Management tool which would make drastic changes to the leaderboard such as moving all run times from the IGT field to the "Time" field MUCH easier/faster but no timeline on when we can have that ready unfortunately

Speedrun.com @speedruncom.bsky.social · May 7

With default settings, the Submit Run form just shows "Time" (as shown below).

While Real Time being shown in the Settings for Moderators is definitely confusing, it’s not shown to Runners so there shouldn’t be any confusion during run submission :)
