Thank you for doing the tournament, it's the barry & fink show.  Chip-in here, $250 for a new world record that unifies the belts so to speak, so 1,272,900 or better.  Fink's deciding whether to register, but he's eligible regardless.  I welcome others to add to the pot.

Hmm. The $250 prize for new world record is only for a score of 1,272,900 or higher? That's weird. I thought 1,272,800 would surpass the current world record of 1,272,700 by John McCurdy which is listed at rank 1 on the leaderboard of this site. Perhaps xelnia could shine some light on this confusing situation.

I thought 1,272,800 would surpass the current world record of 1,272,700 by John McCurdy which is listed at rank 1 on the leaderboard of this site. Perhaps xelnia could shine some light on this confusing situation.

It was put up by one of our generous donors. Nothing to do with DKF. Dont bring this shit in here

Yeah, but it just seems strange that your generous donor is making the requirement for "beating the world record" in a tournament which requires DKF confirmation be a score that's 200 higher than the current WR even though someone could conceivably beat it by 100. Why is it that you think he may have chosen that number?

its 'unifying the belts'. a reference for when theres various organizations with their own champ, and having someone be on the top of both.  As twin galaxies, guinness, and dkf have 3 different "world record" scores, and 2 different "world record" holders "unify the belt" by its nature is treating all orgs as equal.


of course..... it begs the question if such a score really would unify the belts? will robbie come of retirement and claim this bounty with low voltage? lets watch and see folks

The Barry 'n Fink DK Challenge tournament has officially come to a close. In total, we saw 80 people compete and aspire to reach new heights! We are truly blown away by the volume of people who showed up, submitted scores and rooted on their fellow players. The tourney was a great success.
Here were some of the standout achievements:

One particpant shattered the half-a-million mark for the first time ever. Russell Thomas - way to go! We have no doubt your first KS is right around the corner.
Speaking of the KS - the tournament saw FOUR brand new killscreeners. Congratulations to "Jimhappy", Shaun Ruhland, Michael Edwards (BF!) and Geoff Suttor for breaking through and going big! You are now a part of some very exclusive company!

Michael (bonerforce/BF) was not able to sign-up for the tournament but was a very active member of the community and achieved his first killscreen whilst the tournament was taking place, so we have chosen to include him in this list. He would prefer we send his prize money to a charity of our choice. What a man, that BF!

One man hit a new personal best and became only the 2nd player in Donkey Kong history from Australia to crack the 1-million point mark - and he did it on the very last day of the tourney! BIG congrats to Craig Tubby for his historic achievement. Absolutely awesome! His score of 1,006,300 is not only his first million, but also good enough for 3rd in the tournament!

In 2nd place overall - the man, the myth, the LEGEND - Steve Kleisath, aka Maximum Steve, aka Maximus. Steve also cracked into new PB territory within the last week and busted out a score of 1,026,900. Congrats, dude!

In 1st place - Thomas Bauer (some of you may know him as KIG666). Thomas finally cracked his long-time goal of 1.15m with an amazing score of 1,150,400 - good for 11th on the high score leaderboard!

Finally, a huge congratulations to all over you who achieved new personal bests throughout the tournament! More importantly, I hope everyone had fun. That is why we play this game, right (don't answer that...)? If, by any chance, we missed any of the bounty winners above, please shoot us a message and we will happily update this post and send you out your prize money!

Thank you again to everyone that participated! We had so much fun with this thing and I wouldn't be surprised if we had another one sometime next year! Till then - take care! Bye bye now!

I'd like to thank Barry n Fink for creating this challenge... and for being an exceptional inspiration for the whole community. Well done guys :)

For the record, I did sign up for the competition in late November after I got a KS. I've had a medical condition that has limited my ability to play comfortably. I really wasn't expecting to KS but I'm glad I did.

Congratulations to everybody that competed, we're all winners :)
