Let's just leave the no point pressing rule intact. I don't want to take the fun out of the game. I only mentioned it because it sounded like the rule might have been too limiting. Carry on!

This game is apparently difficult to play for score if you can't point press. If it works for you and everyone else I'm cool with amending the point pressing rule to exclude timed games. The only reason the rule exists is to keep some games from becoming tedious instead of fun. But, if it's preventing competition then it doesn't make much sense. Any and all opinions are welcome.

As long as a player isn't purposefully dying in order to replay the level for more points I personally don't have an issue with this. If you're honestly struggling to defeat a level and it's takes a few tries that seems fair to me. In addition, if a player is struggling with a certain point of the game the chances of them blowing away the top scores seems slim. If anyone else has an opinion on this please chime in. We'll go with whatever the group thinks is fair. Yes, farming 1ups is certainly not very sportsmanlike. I'll add this to the game rules. By the way, thanks for the heads up on both of these points. I'm not very familiar with this game.

The game for round 11 is Super Sprint. The key to winning is upgrading your vehicle by collecting wrenches on the track. You must collect at least 2 wrenches and win the race to get the upgrade screen. Check out the manual for scoring information. After the game ends your final score will eventually appear while the demo plays. You'll just need to wait through the game over screens and the title screen.

Not late at all. We've still got the whole weekend left!

I'm not familiar enough with this game to comment in depth, however if a player is purposefully looping a level, that's point pressing and against the rules.
