You’re the man JB!    I will have a special trophy this year for most entertaining stream submission. To be eligible you must submit at least one score via stream clip. You also must have a mic so I can hear you’re interaction with this trash.    I’ll try to compile a handfull I enjoy and make a list that fellow crappers can vote on.

The 10th Annual Crap Tournament has officially begun!

All games should be played on the default settings shared by Wolf182 and Wolf199.

Have a great tournament everyone.

In honor of the 10th Crap Tournament, I will be doing a 24-hour stream to kick it all off. The stream will begin concurrently with the tournament, so 12 AM Eastern on July 20th. My plan is play to through all 10 of the released games in the first few hours, while I'm fresh. I'll then grind out each game, maybe for an hour to an hour and a half each. I'll take mandatory breaks every couple of hours, plus whenever I feel like it. My longest previous stream was around 14 hours...so we'll see how this goes.  Stop by, keep me company, and get ready for the most crap-filled 24 hours you've ever seen.

I could only hack 15 hours. Big thanks to everyone who stopped by and hung out, sorry I couldn't make the full 24. Next time.

Go again sir!  While you're hot.

[Billhouse]

Great stream, great job!

[johnbart]

Congrats on being the first day leader!

Well, if you're going to crap out on a goal, no better place than the Crap Tourney.

For 1st place on Firebeast, I have a t-shirt:



You'll play Firebeast and you'll like it, damn you!

So, this is the best I could find in terms of pre-CTX world records for these games:

Firebeast          27,595
Guts n' Glory     131,700
Hole Land       2,404,400
Hot Shocker       180,200
Iron Horse      1,756,200
Jump Coaster      177,500
Logger            325,900
Motos           2,653,800
Pig Out           320,775
Route 16          122,070
Dream Shopper      76,930
Splendor Blast    390,960
Wall Street       951,000

Firebeast, Guts n' Glory, Hot Shocker, Jump Coaster, Logger, and Pig Out have gone down. I'm not sure we'll see anyone grind for the Hole Land, Iron Horse, Motos, or Route 16 records. Dream Shopper and Splendor Blast will probably go down. Wall Street...maybe.

[xelnia]

I know some people like to submit tourney scores to TG, so I'd like to caution them that there are very few games (so far) that overlap with TG romsets/rules.

-Motos, Pig Out, Dream Shopper, and Splendor Blast are good to go, with either 182 or 199 and the game settings that are being used. Iron Horse can be submitted as-is if you're using 199.

-There are no TG tracks for Firebeast or Guts n' Glory.

-Hot Shocker and Route 16 romsets have changed over time and the CTX sets are newer than the TG sets.

-Hole Land uses a different difficulty setting on TG (Easy instead of Very Easy).

-Jump Coaster is a hot mess with romsets, but TG doesn't use the Taito version and CTX does. So probably not good for submissions.

-Logger and Wall Street have a problem with the bonus life DIPs. Later MAME versions should have it set to 80k for TG, but we're using 10k for CTX.

Just to clarify that you need to have submitted at least one score to qualify for the random t-shirt drawings. First random selection will be made at the one week mark, July 27th 00:00 Eastern Time.

A quick heads up that there was a small bug that didn't show up until we had more than 15 people with scores on an individual title. This meant that overall scoring wasn't correct for a little bit. Should be all fixed up now.

Thanks everyone for submitting so many scores for Jump Coaster.
