So landing anywhere on the home stretch in this map is a legit finish in your books?
When people throw their worm at roof to stop the clock they still touch the finish letters or the back wall just like when u rope all the way to the finish. Your argument is invalid
Back in the infancy of rope races, merely landing on the platform where the finish was allowable, without hitting the text. I remember roperaces won and lost on a final climb where one would fling their worm onto the top and victory was awarded.
Not that I was in any way a visionary or excellent mapmaker, in fact my roperace maps seem more terrible to me as the years have gone on, but all of my roperace maps had built in 1/4 scale size platforms to make sure there was no room for interpretation.
IE
An object such as a "F" to me, has always been an indicator of the finishing location, not the actual finish itself.
The map you referenced above, Senator, is a good example of a poorly indicated finish, and pretty lazy to boot. A 4-6 pixel high vertical line to signify the finish area would easily have made deciding the finish a moot point.
qp rr's are a great example of this:
The short line clearly shows where the start and finish begin and the walls signify the end.
