The ladder twist for March will be: On all officials, points will be based on time taken to finish rather than place. <1 minute earns 30 points, 1-2 minutes 20, 2-3 minutes 15, 3-4 minutes 10, 4-5 minutes 5, and 5+ minutes 1. This may be slightly altered depending on the official. (Thanks to VeryPinkPancakes for the original idea)

Additionally, on the March leaderboard, the top three users will be considered for room voice in addition to the normal representation in the room intro! (awesomepi doesn't count)

 

[pancake]

also shoutout to Illusio for also suggesting the idea in March even though he didn't know I suggested it in February
