Maas winning the team competition.
- In 1980, Walter Day founded a high score record-keeping organization called Twin Galaxies.[13] The organization went on to help promote video games and publicize its records through publications such as the Guinness Book of World Records, and in 1983 it created the U.S. National Video Game Team. The team was involved in competitions, such as running the Video Game Masters Tournament for Guinness World Records[14][15] and sponsoring the North American Video Game Challenge tournament.
