GENERAL CONTEST RULES:

-Contest is open to all members of Video Game Sage.

-  In order to submit a score for the contest, post a picture of it in the thread for that week.  Take a picture
of your score with your Video Game Sage user name written or typed on a piece of paper, which must be present in
the picture. Your Video Game Sage user name MUST be in the picture or the score will be invalid.

- Previously obtained scores are not acceptable as submissions.  You must play the game during the week it has
been selected.

- When posting a new score, please begin your post by typing out your score.  Larger font (18pt) is preferred.

- If you are posting an updated score, please create a new post with your new score and delete the picture from
your previous post with the old score.  You may also edit your initial post with the new photo and score.

- It is highly encouraged to play with original software on original hardware, if possible.  NTSC only.  No PAL.

- This is a contest of skill, so using any sort of device or feature that would give you an advantage over
another player is prohibited.  Examples include, but not limited to, cheat devices, save states, altered ROMs,
remapped controllers, and turbo functions.  The use of glitches to alter your score is also not allowed.  Any
other glitches will be examined on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not they will be permitted.  Any
glitches discovered by participants must be reported and approved for use before submitting a score using them.

-Although not required, I would encourage participants not to practice a game in advance.

- Points will be awarded each week as follows:

1st – 7 points
2nd – 6 points
3rd – 5 points
4th – 4 points
5th – 3 points
6th and lower – 2 points

- At the end of the event, your lowest scoring week will be dropped from the final standings.  This is to allow
some flexibility for people who don't have time to play one week or don't own all the games to still stay
competitive in the final standings.

Double Dragon on Master System was my o.g. introduction to Double Dragon.  Haven't played it since the hey day.  Too bad all my Game Gears are currently in need of repair or I'd get that cart and pop it in the converter...

I'll partake in all of the weeks that I own the games, and I do own Pilotwings...
