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.

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
