Adjudication – We understand different people have access to different equipment - both for broadcast/recording and gameplay (e.g arcade/MAME cabinets). With that in mind - and a desire to be as inclusive as possible since this is just for fun - the official policy will be "make your best effort to provide evidence." While video and/or INP is still the best form of evidence, we will also accept screenshots, photographs, and in-person verification as evidence for arcade cabinets and other situations (e.g. batteries fail, memory cards fill up) where a more complete form of evidence is not available or easily accessible. Every score is subject to challenge / review, regardless of what forms of evidence is supplied. Therefore, it is in every player's best interest to provide as much evidence as possible.

Other Rules
Overall Top 5 scores require an inp, video or stream
-The score you claim must be done on the first credit of your inp recording. Failure to do so will result in your score being changed to what it was for the first credit.
-To encourage good sportsmanship, no recording can be uploaded 24 hours after you recorded it. If these periods are violated, then that person's score for that game will be changed to zero.
-No Autofire
No Pausing
If using an inp file can use one of the following: latest WolfMAME, WolfMAME .106, or RetroUprising
All scores require at least a screenshot

Scoring

Sir Wolfy,
Will there be a draft for this competition?  Or should we  and see how many people abandon DKF? 
Seriously though, thinking draft again?  team captains and such? 
You KNOW I'm looking forward to this!

draft again so far only 2 captains thinking team size will be around 20 players

I wish you wouldn't include games from 1995 to 2000.   Most of them are forgettable, and there isn't much of a choice, sometimes the settings can be confusing, and lastly, not everyone has computers that can play these games at the required rate.

[aarontruitt]

I'm stoked on this. So I can stream with my raspberry pi and it runs a pretty obscure romset for MAME. Will that be ok?

[D.B. Cooper]

There are some cool games that came out before 1980.  Wonder if you would consider changing the first date range to just any game 1984 and before?

I vote we have top 7 score for each team if there are 100 or more signed up. Draft depth should be key No  -eo.

[Barra]

Scrap 1995-2000 and have 1979 or earlier.

[QAOP Spaceman]

Scrap 1995-2000 and have 1979 or earlier.

It's hard not to throw a  in this direction

[Verminator]

I am really looking forward to this. Also, not to sound like a Classics Elitist, but I think a higher percentage of games should be from 1984 and earlier. There were just a lot more games produced back then, the controls are usually simple, the games typically don't have continues and as many leeching opportunities, etc. It would just make for a more fun tourney, in my opinion. For every one game each (three total) from 85-89, 90-94, and 95-99, there should be three from pre-'85.

Kiwi in talking sense shocker!
