the pause is a much more complicated question unfortunately. Under any system, theres always rules violations that cant be caught. we know tg had global rules for breaks in marathons. so yes of course you're right if a player paused nooone would know, but if the player admitted to the pause the

Ok with this new information ... the players that placed 1 through 5 were able to submit a screenshot; and there obviously were no rules re: pausing. Also, the rules state "choose your own level - even 'easiest level' if you like". It would make no sense for them to submit a score

if we know what every score was played on, then sure, i dont care what the rules were originally were or might have been or whatever, i just care that everyone palys on the same rules. so yeah, if for example theres a game that was changed to disc speed and we know that everyone on that track used disc

I think we can keep up.I do agree on 'fixing' Astrosmash with the caveat to work with you to amend descriptions of rules for other titles. There are not that many in this category (Mattel-made games for which Disc, Button 1, Button 2 and Button 3 are the exact same game except Disc level is

jace, as we're talking about rules, history and getting things correct this isnt just opinion its a matter of accuracy. Does such a "request' require unanimous community input, or re you an admin able to look into this and determine the proper course?

Here are the Intellivision submission rules for TG/Snipercade - earliest snapshot is 2001 which addresses Rick's score - it requires players to submit on the easiest settings. Note that there is an "addendum" in 1999 so these rules date from at least that time, if not a few years earlier

Yes, sometimes it's not always possible to fully lay out the remedy in the dispute thread where the issue is about alignment between performances and appropriate tracks rather than, say, impossible scores where the remedy is straight removal.EDIT: Okay, I forgot in this case the remedy is laid out
