After logging in to Tag Scores, click the "Submissions" link and then the "Add a New Console" link. Simply type the full name of the console in the text box. Below this box, a list of similar consoles will appear. This is done to help make sure that the same console isn't submitted more than once.

After logging in to Tag Scores, click the "Submissions" link and then the "Add a New Game" link. First, select what console the game is for. Then type in the name of the game in the text box below. Below the text box, a list of similar games will appear. This is done to help make sure that the same game isn't submitted more than once.

After logging in to Tag Scores, click the "Submissions" link and then the "Add a New Score" link. First, select what console the score was achieved on. Next, select the title of the game that the score is for. If the title doesn't exist, you will need to add the game by clicking the "Game" button under the ADD heading.

Now determine what type of record your score is. Some examples include high score, fastest lap time, longest play time, game completion percentage, etc. If the record type exists, select it from the drop down menu. If not, click the "New" radio button. Some additional information is needed now that you're creating a new type of record for this video game. Type in the name of the record type in the text box, then select if the score shoud be formatted as a number or time and how it should be sorted, either from high to low or low to high.

When entering the actual record, you only need to type in numbers and a decimal point, if needed. Tag Scores will automatically format the number depending on if it's a time or number. For example, if you have a fastest lap time of 04:32 (four minutes, thirty two seconds) you would type "0432" into the record field. Similarly, if you had a high score of 4,033,843 you would type "4033843" into the record field.

Lastly, you'll need to provide proof of your high score in either picture or video format. Users can either upload a picture directly to Tag Scores or upload the picture somewhere else and link it to their score.

We recommend using any of the following sites (if you don't use Tag Scores for your picture upload):
