Any% 50 lines category

Nevada, USA

Hello! Again, just want to thank the mod team for their hard work in accommodating the community and allowing for the current any% category to flourish. The competition is insane and awesome!

Would anyone be interested in a 50 lines any% as a separate board? I think it's becoming evident that 25 Lines has allowed for more parity in the community, and 50 lines would open that up even more! In addition, since the RNG of Tetris is manipulatable, it makes it MUCH harder to memorize 50 lines worth of moves compared to 25, making the ceiling much higher and potentially more competitive.

These are just thoughts. The only downside is that, without dipswitches, some runners might have trouble getting to 50 lines before the time limit expires, so this would be a very difficult board to qualify for. But this isn't too foreign a concept, a lot of NES boards have tough categories to post runs to.

If there’s support among the community, we would certainly be willing to implement this. There’s no set time or number for what determines support, but everyone can share their opinions if they wish.

I would like to see it also, not many people will be able to do the category but this is part of the challenge anyway. It would give a lot of entertainement for sure.

I would suggest someone put up a 50 line PB and link the vod here (I can try tonight if I get some time). If a couple of us put up a run, I would imagine a board would be a lot easier to conceptualize.

I think it'd be pretty easy to do, just add a sub-category in any% for 25 lines and 50 lines. Wouldn't even need a full new category (I don't actually know how to do this, but I know it's possible)

I will look into implementing this later today. Thanks for the suggestions and for posting a run!

50 line subcategory has been added. All previous any% runs have been converted to the 25 line subcategory. Have at it, folks!
