BATTLE ROYAL!!!!! - improve your standing on any of the games for 3 days only.
RULES:
As we did last December with the
Streets of Rage series, we will be holding a competition to see who is the Top RFGen Shmuper. Participants will play two titles each week, one on each side (1 retro/1 modern), and will be required to post a photo of their best score during that week. You can post as many scores as you need to during the week if you better your score, but to avoid confusion, do not post lower scores than the highest one you already have posted for each game. Scores will be excepted each week starting at midnight
server time (not necessarily your time) for the beginning date listed for each game, and likewise, scores will be excepted until midnight
server time for the end date of each game. Any scores submitted even within a fraction of a second past this end time will not be counted, so plan your playing and posting of scores accordingly. The participant with the highest point total for each game per week will earn 10 points, second place earns 9 points, and so on down to 5 points (everyone who participates each week will earn at least 5 points).
This process will continue for each of the four weeks of December and the last 2 days of the month will consist of a Battle Royale where participants will have the opportunity to improve their overall standing for each game played during the month. At the end of the month, each participant's lowest score on the retro and modern side will be dropped (this means you can miss one game on each side and still be in the championship running). The participant with the most overall points for his/her six games will be crowned Top Shmuper.
NOTE: NO SCORES WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR GAMES PLAYED OUT OF TURN UNTIL THE BATTLE ROYALE BEGINS ON 12/29. YOU CAN ONLY SUBMIT GRADIUS SCORES DURING WEEK 1, U.N. SQUADRON SCORES DURING WEEK 2, AND SO ON. SCORES ACCUMULATED DURING WEEKS 1-4 WILL BE USED TOWARD YOUR FINAL TOTAL, BUT OF COURSE, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORES DURING THE 3 DAYS OF BATTLE ROYALE. DURING THE BATTLE ROYAL, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORES, WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO HAVE PLAYED THE GAMES ALREADY IN THE PREVIOUS WEEKS (NO "NEW" PARTICIPANTS SCORES WILL BE ALLOWED, ONLY IMPROVED SCORES FROM PRIOR WEEK PARTICIPANTS).
IN THE SPIRIT OF KEEPING THE CONTEST FAIR, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE PLAY ALL SHMUPS ON THEIR NORMAL SETTING (WHATEVER SETTING THE GAME STARTS UP WITH) AND THAT YOU DO NOT USE ANY CODES (LIKE THE KONAMI CODE FOR GRADIUS), GAME GENIES OR LIKE DEVICES, OR RAPID FIRE CONTROLLERS/DONGLES. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT DEVICES OR OTHER AIDS YOU ARE CONSIDERING USING DURING THIS COMPETITION, PLEASE POST TO THE FORUM OR SEND US A PM AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR YOU. THANKS.
PLEASE ABIDE BY THE HONOR SYSTEM WHEN POSTING SCORES. ALSO, DO NOT USE SAVE POINTS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE IF YOU ARE PLAYING ONE OF THE MODERN CONSOLE VERSIONS OR ON ANY CONSOLE WITH A SAVE FEATURE. COMPETITION HERE IS ENJOYABLE AND WE HAVE A VERY TRUSTWORTHY COMMUNITY, SO LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY. THANKS.**Contest rules subject to change or be added to prior to December 1st. If you have any suggestions for rules or restrictions, please contact singlebanana via PM. Photos of high scores are required and fun pics of you playing with a friend(s) are highly encouraged. Further questions concerning these rules should be directed to December's hosts, Fleach (modern) or singlebanana (retro).**PRIZES:I prize will be awarded to the month's Top Shmuper. This will include the title of:
2014 RFGen Top Shmuper added to his/her forum avatar and a specially designed
wrestling shmuping belt to display in your gameroom or fireplace mantle (with wife's permission of course.....).
