I nominate Ilari and slamo, for the excellent teamwork we had on our Jazz Jackrabbit runs this year. Both of them were very dedicated to working on the runs, and did so with great effort and precision.

This is the TAS award thread, not TASer award thread - that one is here. For TAS runs, please use the "[movie]2711[/movie]" syntax, where the number is the publication number you wish to nominate. That said, nominating this excellent run: [2711] PSX Spyro: Year of the Dragon "117%" by Nitrofski in 2:27:54.15

Julius mode in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow was fairly hotly contested this year. The current publication, [2689] GBA Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow "Julius mode" by hellagels & mtbRc in 03:53.83, is a very tight run of the category. Also some good newer Pokémon runs this year: [2705] GBA Pokémon: Emerald Version "Pomeg glitch" by GoddessMaria in 1:19:52.87 [2520] GBA Pokémon: FireRed Version by mkdasher in 1:44:17.34

Quite a fair amount of Pokémon runs this year. If I had to pick one, it would be this one: [2653] GB Pokémon: Red Version "Gotta Catch 'Em All!" by MrWint in 1:54:56.62 Aside from that, also nominating [2685] GBC Shantae by arandomgameTASer in 1:05:26.00.

[2641] Arcade Magician Lord by £e Nécroyeur in 07:17.73. I'm not foreseeing a lot of competition to this one.

[2513] SNES Super Mario World "arbitrary code execution" by Masterjun in 02:25.19 This is the movie that set ACE on the chart not just inside TASVideos, but way beyond as well, when it was first unveiled at AGDQ 2014 nearly a year ago. Said unveiling let out a worldwide shockwave of hype unlike anything any TAS had ever done before. It has to be worth a mention because of that. Also nominating: [2696] SNES The Mask by TASeditor in 05:45.16

From that page:
This page is maintained separately from the submission queue and judges' decisions. It serves as a summary of their 'official' verdicts i.e. the judges did not pick these from a set of choices upon rejection. The list is derived after the fact, based on the judge's rejection comments.

feos, did you check whether the two-player and pacifist branches of this run actually do not cost any time at all in the run?

hegyak and BSBIsLeet both dropped out of the contest. Their remaining team member Truncated has joined forces with TehSeven and thelegendarymudkip, filling in the replacement position of Team 7. This means Team 9 is no more. (I'm really hoping the trend of inactive team members having to be dropped out of the contest will go to a stop now.)

Edit: And before it gets lost in 5 pages, I'd like to point out Samsara was the one trying to get a response out of itsPersonnal who was only trying to hype an exciting run. Because he's trolling. Like he openly admitted last "issue." Maybe a mod can actually deal with it this time?
I am indeed getting increasingly more annoyed by Samsara's behavior recently. I hope for him that his resolution of a "newer, nicer Samsara" for the upcoming year will hold.

Another bunch of misplaced runs accepted before Vault existed.
Four out of five runs on that list were judged and published after the Vault and tiers were introduced. The Silver Surfer run set the precedent that pacifist runs of shmups can be accepted to the Vault, as long as the pacifism does not cost time (and hence is not an actual part of the branch) and the run time is meaningfully different from real-time runs. The 2-player category is also eligible for the Vault if it is faster than 1 player. If those criteria are met in this run, then it can be published to the Vault.

Today is the 30th day of the competition, which means we are soon approaching the halfway point of the contest. Teams should keep this in mind with regard to the progress of the contest - especially if they at this point have not yet cleared mission 3.

Which means that team AAA’s total score is not the highest of all teams anymore, right?
Yes, although I won't change around team numbers anymore. Team 2 does indeed now have the highest total point count. On another note, NitroGenesis is dropping from Team 7 "TNT" (TehSeven, thelegendarymudkip, NitroGenesis). TehSeven and thelegendarymudkip are still looking for a replacement; send me a message if you are interested. They have a replacement now.

On the topic of team replacements, the first team swap has been confirmed. Team 2 "GAS" (Got4n, adelikat, Scepheo) has had Got4n drop out of the team; he has now been replaced by Cardboard.

I've been getting some messages from a few teams that one of their members is inactive, not doing much, disinterested or otherwise unproductive. I guess it's time to address this now in public. While I would hope that each team can stick together to finish their project, it clearly is not always possible or realistic. And to keep the competition fair for teams that are disadvantaged this way, I've set up a policy for replacing team members. I've already communicated this to the teams that were involved so far, but to make it official now, it is as follows:
  • Team members who are concerned about the (lack of) productivity of a teammate can send me a message (forum PM or IRC private message) about the problems they have with the team member in question.
  • I will try to communicate with the problematic team member in question and see how they feel about their activity or the team situation. Depending on how this goes, I may approve of making an official team change.
  • While I do the above, the remaining team members can find a replacement teammate. If they have found a replacement, both remaining original team members as well as the replacement need to message me to confirm the team swap. Then, depending on whether or not I approve in step 2, I will make the team change official.
That said, I'm hoping I won't need to execute this policy any more than I already need(ed) to.

0 is identified in the database as "Unknown rerecord count". 1 isn't, which skews the movie statistics (and some people would quite favor the movie statistics to be accurate). And as Spikestuff said, the rerecord count used to be 0, so 1 is inaccurate as well.

WonderSwan TASing has existed for quite a while, even before BizHawk added it about half a year back. It's just that nobody has decided to run this. While it's Mega Man, it's not exactly a popular title.

I notice on occasion that publishers reencode their movies because there was some mistake. That in itself is fine, mistakes happen and if they're there obviously they have to be corrected, but when replacing YouTube links to TASVideosChannel, the previous video remains up on the channel. This can lead to there being quite a bit of redundancy. On one occasion I literally had to send a list of over a dozen videos to Nach of redundant encodes over the course of a few weeks. Over a third of the default "latest uploads" feed consisted of duplicate movies. This is a big mess when you're trying to browse the latest TAS videos on the YouTube channel or even just checking the subscriber feed on occasion. So I'd like to point out to encoders/publishers this page: Wiki: SystemTVCControl On it, encoders can modify the YouTube encodes on TVC they have encoded. There is no delete option (yet), but there is an option to edit and unlist your movies. So I'd like to say, please, as the title says, for the sake of organization and cleanliness, if you replace a YouTube encode, remove the original from (public view of) TASVideosChannel.
