The Ranking System *Break down of how many points needed to reach certain ranks to come*
Players play in the Weekly Online Shmeet. Points are earned in the following ways:
Finishing in 1st Place in Tier I: Player earns 6 points
Finishing in Tier I: Player earns 5 points
Finishing in 1st Place in Tier II: Player earns 4 points
Finishing in Tier II: Player earns 3 points
Finishing in 1st Place in Tier III: Player earns 2 points

Special Circumstances: Player meets specific criteria which will be specified if any exist when the shmeet begins.
**Rank 1 is given at ten points. Ranks 2-10 are given every twenty points. If it rank goes above 10, every rank costs fifty points.**
The Prizes
There will be a prize every three months. That's 4 prizes a year; 2 small ones and 2 big ones. The prize value will go like this:
3months-->win small prize-->3months-->win big prize-->3months-->win small...etc.
The small prize will be easier to win by everyone, not just the people on top. The way you actually win the prize may vary from time to time. Of couse points and rank will have everything to do with it. Small prizes total less than $100.00 USD. There can be multiple small prizes for many players to win, but the total of all the prizes will not exceed $100.00 USD.
Big prizes are a bit harder to get. This prize will probably go to the people who the highest number of points or who have achieved a certain rank. Conditions that must be met to be in order to win will vary. Big prizes are between $100.00 and $500.00 USD. WARNING!!! If you intend to compete for the big prizes, I suggest you take screen shots of your scores and post them especially if you are in Tier I. Cheaters are void to the prizes! Any suspicious scores and/or posts may cause you to be disqualified.
By the way, this will cost you nothing
I reserve the right to terminate this contest at any time for any reason. I'm paying for this all at my own expense. I reserve the right to void any of this contest and it's prizes, especially if someone decides to be a jerk and get legal on me. Sometimes circumstances beyond anyones control may arise, like losing one's job, and may not be able to finance these events. I will keep this contest going as long as I have the time and can afford what I promise to you. Thanks for understanding that I'm just trying to cover my ass.
Rules:
Code: Select all
1. Competition is 1 week long. Shmeet starts at 12:00PM PST on Mondays. This allows people to get at least one day to do some runs. Some people got work and/or school; this allows for more people to get their scores in.
2. As usual, the games will be played with the default settings.
3. There will be a tier rank system to help tell who has played this before. Basically, the pros will be in the top tier, people with experience will be in the mid tier, and people who have never played or haven't played much will be in the lower tier. All I'm basically doing is splitting up the score board and giving people the chance to strive for some sort of title to your skill. I will just fill the board out like a normal score board. Your score places you; that's all.
4. Can not use scores from a previous scoreboard. Scores must be from the week the current competition game is played
5. Emulation is okay. Not everyone can afford PCBs :)
6. When there is a significant differnece in versions of a game, the system to be used will be specified.
7. As with any scoreboard, please be honest and don't make up scores. Such offenses will cause said player to rot in hell.
8. Rules subject to change when I think of more that will improve the competition or if someone else comes up with a good idea. New rules can be voted in by poll. Old rules can be voted out by poll. If you have an idea, don't be affraid to speak.
9. All scores will be posted. There will not be just 10 spots. Everyone who plays will be put on the board.
10. Once a game is chosen, it will not be eligible for the poll for 1 month.
11. Please don't vote unless you plan to play. I want the players --not the spectators or people who love to vote in polls just to vote-- to chose their game.
12. The new poll will be posted 1 week in advance from the time shmeet. So when we start on Monday, there will also be a new poll for the following week's game.
