Okay "@delay=n" will delay n seconds after the game starts before loading in the score data. Be a bit careful as the resolution is just one second so if delay is 3 sec but the wait time is actually 2.5 sec it could load too early so you'd have to set the delay to at least 4 sec. Scratch that, it supports subsecond accuracy now.
