Funspot X Resulted in 48 New World Records
This Event Establishes New Mark: "Most Records During A Single Event"
7/4/2008 |
 Fairfield, Iowa -- July 4, 2008 -- The Twin Galaxies Board of Referees has examined all the results of the 10th Annual Funspot Classic Arcade Championship and believe that all the scores have been tallied.
Twin Galaxies has informed Guinness World Records that the 48 World Records verified during this 4-day event are the most world records ever logged at a single video game championship.
Though this "Most Records During A Single Event" category was not actively noted during earlier years, it is our understanding that on at least one prior year thirty (30) new world records were documented. So, this year, with 48 new world records, sets a new record for "Most Records During A Single Event."
