I will reconsider if I'm misidentifying the switch banks. Regarding the score display in real time, it is not very clear, however, it is not obstructed so that in itself isn't too much of an issue. Regarding the starting with 20K setting, I can see no evidence indicating either player started with 20K, and can see no DIP option in the manual that allows for it to even happen. It would also necessarily mean this player only scored 450 points on his own during his run. The gameplay footage clearly reveals that such is not the case.
Regardless, I have to vote no. Perhaps these two players can create (or ask someone else to) create a 5 lives track, and Ill donate to make it happen. That way, they could submit these performances to the correct track, provided the rest of the DIPs conform to the rest of the ruleset.
