Music
The game contains 12 songs composed by Sculptured Software's main composer Paul Webb. The teams' stadiums have their own theme which ends with an infinite drum loop. The Results Theme instruments go off sync, so the recording is continuously looped until the instruments sync again.
Paul Webb composed the music on his sampler keyboards at Sculptured. His compositions were then converted to Ken Moore's sound driver.

Game Rip
The VGZ files were logged in MESS 0.154 with ValleyBell's VGM Mod during game play. Hacking was required to prevent the title screen from changing, thus slowing down the song. There are no known unused songs.
Audio Devices
The game uses the Ricoh RP2A03. The DPCM channel is not used.
