GX Story Mode records to be included at FZC?

Dave,
Thanks for all your work on this site...as if you needed to increase your workload, I was wondering how the story mode on GX will be treated (if at all)? Perhaps you already have a plan.
For whatever it is worth, my main suggestion here is that you include GX story mode times as a separate competition (not counting towards universal). Since the difficulty level changes some aspects of each chapter, it seems that this will entail 30 different rankings - 10 chapters times 3 levels of difficulty!
I make this suggestion thinking it to be consistent with the precendent set by including FZX's death race (a bonus sort of race, but not strictly part of the "canon" of tracks).
Also, it might be fun for some players if there were combined Story mode rankings (rankings based on those 30 marks total). Further, maybe death race and Story mode should be included in the universal competition somehow (to be hyper-universal) even though they aren't in the competitions for separate games? Just some thoughts here...it is your site, do what you want. I'm not that interested in the story mode or death race myself, but I suspect competing on these added bonuses would be enjoyable for many members of FZC.

Story mode rankings is a good idea ... I just hadn't gotten that far in my thinking yet. I don't want to include the bonus games into Universal. If I were to add a separate listing in Universal for the bonus games (with the possibility of weighting it to have less importance in the ranking), then anyone without GX would be penalized TWICE. I don't really like the idea of adding them to Universal anyway, I just wanted to give a valid reason. 
Yeah, I would do 30 different boards and an overall ranking. That makes sense to me.
I don't have track rankings set up yet for GX, so Story Mode rankings won't be my first priority. But I will get there eventually. Anyone reading this ... reply here to show that you are interested in having a ranking table for Story Mode times, it'll help motivate me to make it happen.

No. Any ranking page made for story mode would not change the current GX competition IN ANY WAY, it would be completely separate.

I'm interested. Separate story mode rankings sounds good.

This does sound like fun. 
I wouldn't mind making times for story. They wouldn't be too great though. lol
I will defenitly put more effort towards Time Trail. But story mode as a bonus just for fun competiton sounds fun too. 
I had a feeling this would be suggested.
