I'd be thrilled if that happened, but I probably have more work to do to have a solid shot at the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Real Medals of pure Gold, Silver & Bronze were given out that'd be pretty lucrative! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread about keeping the records archive going, but it kind of fell off. It would be great if someone combined the old NA stats with the VGS ones. I might be in the top 3 on the all time wins list by now. https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/336-interest-in-a-visual-weekly-contest-archives/ Edited May 24 by Bearcat-Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the early posts about how tough it was for players to even hit participation. I'm terrible at math, so I'm sure my score would have been awful even though I'm fairly decent at real pool.

I also don't own a computer or have any idea how to make spreadsheets, which would reduce me to trying to figure everything up myself. If you saw the grades I used to get in math when I was in school, you would quickly identify me as the least qualified person to try and take that project over.
