Twin Galaxies accepting scores again....but now you need to pay $$$ to submit.

I think it makes sense to charge to submit a record.  It has to suck for them to sit there for hours watching a game to make sure everything is on the up and up.  Charging will weed out the non serious entries and if you think you have a world record for a game, paying up to 75 bucks is not that much money in the grand scheme of things.  About the price of buying a new game anyway.

DaveMMR:
Yeah, I can see it really making sense to have to charge people now. I watched those documentaries (e.g. Chasing Ghosts, King of Kong) and wondered why some dude spent his entire day watching someone play Pengo or something for no pay. There's got to be a finite number of people who'd be willing to sacrifice that kind of time, especially considering there are probably more submissions than ever.

Guinness does have support from a beer maker, as well as sale of print books and television shows so that's why they wouldn't have to charge like TG now does.

Let's put it this way, if I knew I had the high score and I was so determined to be recognized for it I wouldn't mind coughing up the dough.

I think we should do a Kickstarter to raise the $25 to get our very own Vigo recognized as the ---smurfing--- World Champion of Snacks n' Jaxson.

Now that video sharing sites like youtube.com are so easy to use and also allow up to ten hours of upload, couldn't all the high score competitors upload directly to youtube and be reviewed and judged by fellow compettors?

The videos would automatically be time stamped by youtube.

All it takes is a simple webcam or smartphone to upload directly to youtube.

for example...

make a youtube channel for donkey kong (or any specific arcade game)
upload your winning donkey kong high score setting game.
allow others to view/enjoy it.
allow comments/responses for viewers to comment/respond.

i know i would enjoy watching it.
