guillavoie 1,139 Events Team · Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Welcome to the 2020 VideoGameSage NES Weekly Contests! Weekly Contest Moderators Bea_Iank guillavoieGENERAL CONTEST RULES Please read these rules carefully before you submit a score. Failure to comply with the rules may result in your score being disqualified. If you're new to the contests, please take a few minutes to read over the rules to make sure you submit your scores correctly.Posting Scores - In order to submit a score for the contest, take a picture of your score with your VGS user name written or typed on a piece of paper, which must be present in the picture. Your VGS user name MUST be in the picture or the score will be invalid and not accepted or considered. - The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of the contest organizers. - Old scores from past contests are not acceptable as submissions. You must play the game during the week it has been selected for the contests. Anyone suspected as passing off an old score as a new one will have their score disqualified and asked to resubmit a new one. - 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 edit your initial post with the new photo and score. You can still create a separate new post as a bump to notify you edited your score if desired. Editing your original post makes it much easier for the contest organizers to tally up the scores at the end of the week and also ensures that we don't make a mistake and credit you for the wrong score.Systems - NTSC systems will be the only consoles allowed for the contests. PAL systems and games will not be allowed. There are some PAL games that are optimized to run at the same speed and difficulty as NTSC games. These will be allowed for use in the contests, but you MUST contact contest organizers first before using such a game so that we can investigate it. Failure to contact us first could result in your score being disqualified.Emulators - Emulators ARE allowed to be used in the weekly contests. However, anything that may give a player an advantage with an emulator over playing on the system is NOT allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, save states, Game Genie codes, altered ROMS, and turbo controls. It is preferred if everyone plays on a console. - There may be some weeks where emulator use will not be allowed. If we choose not to use emulators for a specific week, it will be noted in the rules. This means NO emulators can be used whatsoever and the game MUST be played on a console. If we play a game and emulators are forbidden and someone still submits a score using an emulator, the score will be ignored..PowerPak - A PowerPak IS allowed to be used in the competition with the same regulations as with emulators. You may not use save states, Game Genies codes, altered ROMs or anything else that would give you an advantage over playing with the regular cartridge.Points and Leaderboards - Each week the top 8 players who submitted scores will earn points as follows: 1st – 11 points 2nd – 10 points 3rd – 9 points 4th – 8 points 5th – 7 points 6th – 6 points 7th – 5 points 8th – 4 points Participation – 3 points - Anyone who finishes below 8th place will earn 3 participation points. - There will only be 1 regular leaderboard throughout the year, which will lead right up to the tournament. The leaderboard style will be the same as 2017 and all points on the leaderboard will be cumulative. - There will still be genre leaderboards for 2019. The six genres are: Action/Platformer Arcade Beat 'Em Up Puzzle Shooter/Shoot 'Em Up Sports - All games played in the 2020 contests will be reflective of those genres. The genre leaderboards will use the same point system as the regular leaderboard, and whoever finishes atop each leaderboard prior to the start of the year-end tournament will win that genre and will be rewarded with a VGS Charms. - The genre leaderboards are just for fun and will not impact anyone's standing in the tournaments. So, if you feel you excel at Beat 'Em Ups, go for the Beat 'Em Up Charms.Participation Score - There may be instances where the rules of a game will require you to attain a minimum number of points in order to earn participation points for that week. For example, if we play Double Dragon, you may be required to score at least 50,000 to earn participation points toward the leaderboard. Participation scores will be noted in the rules if they will be used for a specific week. In the event we set a participation score, any scores submitted that do not meet the minimum amount of points will be ignored.Controllers - Turbo Controllers are NOT allowed to be used. Neither are any controllers that give you any advantage over regular controllers, such as slow motion or turbo ability. - If anyone is suspected of using turbo functions, slow motion abilities, etc from a controller, your score will be disqualified and you will be banned from further competition.Cheating - Cheating will NOT be tolerated in any form. This contest is based on trust and honor. Anyone found cheating will be banned from further competition. - The use of point glitches to intentionally increase (or in the case of a low score contest, decrease) your score are frowned upon and not allowed in the contests. If a point glitch is discovered that can create an unfair advantage, the rules for the game will be altered to ban the glitch. Anyone suspected of using point glitches will have their score disqualified. - If there is suspicion of a participant cheating, the contest moderators will review the case and the member may be asked to present further evidence of their score. Further evidence includes, but is not limited to, video recordings and/or extra pictures. - If you suspect another participant of cheating, do NOT call them out in the contest threads. Please send a PM to the contest organizers and we will review the score. Posting accusations in the contest threads creates unnecessary drama and stress for all involved and will NOT be tolerated.Sportsmanship and Overall Conduct - Please be a good sport while playing in the weekly contests. While smack talk and the occasional vent are fine, please do not get carried away with it. This includes, but is not limited to, name calling, excessive venting/complaining/whining, excessive profanity, cocky attitudes, arguing with contest moderators, accusations of cheating, cluttering threads with nonsense posts, etc. Participants who cannot be good sports will receive a warning from me. If your overall conduct is still considered to be in poor taste, you will be banned from the contests. - Disrupting of the weekly contests in any way will NOT be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, trolling, name calling, unauthorized prize giveaways, unnecessary drama, etc. Anyone who disrupts the weekly contests in any form will be reported to a site moderator.Tournament - There will be one tournament played this year and that will be hosted in a matter of weeks after the end of the regular season. - The number of competitors will be based on how many people participate and will be announced prior to the start of the tournament. - Anyone who earns a spot in the tournament will receive a PM asking for them to confirm their tournament spot prior to the start of the competition. Those who can't or are unwilling to participate will have their spot forfeited to the next available person.RANDOM PRIZES - Random prizes will be given out throughout the year whenever we have a prize to offer. These will be announced at random with no particular dates set in stone. More than likely, anyone who participates in a particular contest will entered into a drawing for a chance to win a prize. These prizes will be video game related in some way. - To make it fair for everyone who plays in the contests, you can only win one random prize for the year. - If anyone is interested in donating prizes to the weekly contests, please contact contest oraganizers first so arrangements can be made. Do not feel compelled to have to donate to the weekly contests, but if you really want to, feel free to do it. - If anyone wants to give away a prize on their own time for a particular contest, you must contact the contest organizers first to get authorization to do so. Any unauthorized giveaways will NOT be allowed. - In the event you win a prize, whether it be a random drawing or a tournament prize, we will send you a PM requesting your mailing address. When giving your mailing address, please give your full name (first and last name) and not just your first name or VGS user name. We want to ensure you receive your prize quickly and safely. .Once your package leaves our hands and is submitted to the post office, we will be not responsible for any lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, or returned packages. If you are afraid something may happen to your prize, please request insurance. UPCOMING GAMES FOR 2020 NOTE: This list may be revised with or without notice.
