Hey everybody, just because I adore this game, I wanted to start a thread and see if anybody had any interest in further categories/ways to run this game.

I've thought about doing a lot of things: biggest blowout would be great but would probably fit at TwinGalaxies more than this. Fastest to 50 or Fastest to 100 points could be something we could maybe do. I've wanted to do an all-27 teams run for a while. higher difficulty runs could be a lot of fun too

Anybody got any specific ideas or things to go for to add categories?

I will preface this with saying partially this is me having been dumb, however, I think I have good points as well!

I spent some time learning and grinding out NBA Jam (non-TE) for SNES and nabbed WR, though it's awaiting verification as I write this.

Past few days, I was doing some running of TE (SNES) for ya know, giggles, and ended up with 6:28, a pretty dang optimized run.

(3-0 score, probably only about 3 seconds to save)

but before I submitted, I realized I had tag mode on: looking at the rules here I figured the rules specific would only differ from standard JAM based on the TE-only features. Oops.

Now of course I would stand to "benefit" from allowing tag mode for that reason, however

1)I think if this game were to be run more in the future, it'd probably benefit from sharing as much of a ruleset with the non-TE iterations as possible, hence allowing tag mode, especially since we're allowing difficulties and fast timer,

2)If not, I humbly request it be made more prominent in the listed rules, since it's essentially the only 'standard' option that differs from the normal NBA Jam ruleset and fools like me can easily miss it (well, at least THIS fool can!)

Obviously there's not much of a community to vote here so I feel like I'm almost talking to one person, but hey. You're the boss :)

Hey all.. I just submitted (and it's up!) a run for an arcade game. There's, afaik, not a community to run it. However, there is one full game run listed on Twin Galaxies (which I would beat by... well, depends on the timing rules, but it would be beat.)

But, there's a few IL records of this game on TwinGalaxies. I really want to spread the word of this game and get it out there, and IL levels make a lot of sense (it's a racing game)

If this has already been addressed I'm sorry but I couldn't find it. Is there any established bit about adding outside runs/scores, is it a no-no, is there a method, etc.? I'm fine with whatever the established rules may be, but if there's precedent for something like this, adding those IL records might be a nice boost to getting this game off the ground.

Thanks!

Hey all.

So I've recently made this game available on Speedrun.com. Timing rules are available. Hope y'all run it!

If anybody has any questions or whatnot, please let me know. I'd adore if this game got more love. This has been one of my fav games since childhood!

Hey all. I'm new to the speedrunning community but I've been playing TSB forever.

Are there any categories we can come up with that would make this a legit game to compete on? Tecmo Bowl has speedruns for time on wins and losses, this TSB has one entry for most rushing yards...

Is there a way we can make a category competitive? I know there's a big scene for this game... any ideas?
