OK... now that the actual results are in... I will now make my say on
things for this first tourney.
<p>
First, I should begin with the thank yous.
<p>
First thank you I think should go to Zwaxy - if he didn't let us do
this tournament, we wouldn't have a tournament... or a second
tournament for that matter.
<p>
Second thank you goes to Pat Laffaye, our Judging Coordinator... he
went through a lot of work, including judging FOUR games, more than
any other judge; I think he deserves a ton of credit.
<p>
Next I'd like to thank the judges themselves... yes... Pat gets two
thank yous, I'd also like to thank Donut and Chris Parsley as well for
taking such a difficult task.
<p>
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who submitted even one
recording this tournament, if you didn't play, we wouldn't be having a
tournament.
<p>
And now... I'd like to discuss a couple of Twin Galaxies World Record
issues... all of these are in regards to MAME world records, not the
actual arcade machines.
<p>
2020 Super Baseball - True, we did play using the money feature, but I
think this deserves recognition just as much as perhaps a player minus
computer ratio. In the money case, Cicca's mark of $119,800 would be
the standard. In the player minus computer case, PJS, with 37(42 -
5 I think) would set the standard.
<p>
Discs of Tron - If the settings we used are actually TG settings(and
I hope they are), the first world record holder would be Brian McLean
with 115,600.
<p>
Gyruss - Can you say BeeJay? Big time! 5,200,000 more than DOUBLES
AND A HALF the previous world record that was set by James
Wilson(2,062,600)... and I'm positive we used TG settings.
<p>
Lock N' Chase - These TG Settings I got from the TG website -
therefore, I'm sure JoustGod's mark of 65,240 is the first MAME world
record.
<p>
Congratulations to all! For completeness, I will also recognize the
other game's winners - seeing that they also deserve credit.
<p>
BombJack - BeeJay - 1,119,320
<p>
* Combat School - Stig Remnes - 378,170
<p>
* Mr. Do's Wild Ride - Skito - 113,351
<p>
Galaga(fast shoot) - BeeJay - 6,293,810
<p>
* Money Puzzle Exchanger - Donut - 63... wow... was that a sight to
see myself!
<p>
* Pang 3(panic mode) - Renzo Vignola - 2,172,100
<p>
Us Vs. Them - BeeJay - 260,125
<p>
* ZZYZZYXX - Phil Lamat - 1,019,270
<p>
* - we used default settings... I don't know if they are TG settings,
and therefore possible world records, as well.
<p>
I'd also like to congratulate BeeJay and JoustGod personally for
taking victory in our first tournament!
<p>
Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the first
tournament, and I hope to see everyone again in the second tournament!

For each of them, they achieved an average positional placement of 4.50 for all 12 games. There was a slight delay in getting the final word out. Yesterday, I couldn't access the Tourney side of MARP. Makes it kind of hard to verify scores, and then we almost had a single winner. JoustGod would have finished with a 367 had Phil Lamat's last valid Combat School score not remained "in between" the two finalists.
