Ça fait un bail que je ne suis pas passé par ce forum, et je voudrais écrire plus, mais il est tard et j'ai envie de dormir. Du coup je me contente de copier-coller mon post du MB:
This post is long overdue, but I'm happy to announce that after over 4.5 years since the WR History site was inaugurated, and over 1.5 years since
we agreed to include them, I'm finally ready to share
this document.
The first tab contains all WR ties I was able to find evidence for.
The second tab contains a list of sources I checked, and some other links I kept for further investigation.
The third tab contains some miscellaneous notes I compiled while looking for WR ties.
Some further notes/comments:
- I found 219 ties in total, ranging from 2000-05-05 to 2017-08-31. 102 ties were in NTSC, 117 in PAL. 60 were 5laps, 159 were flaps.
- 2000 was the year with the least amount of ties at 3, although the data is incomplete for that year (I couldn't find anything prior to May). As far as complete years go, 2001, 2010, 2012, and 2015 are all tied (hah!) with 4 each. 2002, 2006, and 2007 are tied (I can't make this stuff up) for most amount of ties with 28 each.
- Karel has by far the most ties with 51, which is almost a full quarter of the total! Mario and Kartie are 2nd and 3rd, with 19 and 17 respectively.
- Two players have only ever held a tied WR: Tommy Dickinson (11"77 MC1 NTSC flap set on 2003-09-13) and Frederic Duarte-Leite aka fredyball (1'31"32 MC3 PAL 5lap set on 2004-02-07).
- I am very disappointed that Mario deletes his vids for times that are no longer his PR.
If you see anything wrong or missing please let me know. I'm particularly interested in old vids if you happen to have any saved, as most of the vids that were stored on websites like Chris Balch's (
https://web.archive.org/web/20050417223853/http://timeofdeath.net/wrvideos.html) in the pre-YouTube days are no longer available for download.
Next order of business (although not likely to happen soon) is to investigate old Japanese times.
Enjoy!
