Is Q*Bert still planned to begin on the 12th? If so, I'd like to take a shot at submitting a score for that. I don't suspect it'll be a winner, but it'll be fun to give it a go.

Just a heads up that due to a change in my schedule at work (I accepted a new position), the contests will now be posted a little earlier on Sundays. All new contests should be posted by 1 PM on Sundays from now on (unless I get a rare Sunday off work, in which case, they may be a bit later than 1 PM).
New to gamer Gauntle are we doing the kick master this week and what are the requirements in order to enter/ summit a score for it.
Here are the general rules. Specific rules for Kick Master are in that thread.
"GENERAL 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 NA user name written or typed on a piece of paper, which must be present in the picture. Your NA user name MUST be in the picture or the score will be invalid.
- 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 myself and 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 me or guillavoie 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 I 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 and you will receive a warning from me.
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.
congrats to all! good year everyone! new players, great gamers it was fun!
bert your pretty good at nintendo games almost as good as me at the cool ones HAHAAAA as far as the icons show... back to back shoot em up champ wwwwooooooooooo!
Sandafloor. you da man, thanks for keeping me in my place (3rd) ......huh aka 3rd place prince, ill take another alias. back to back 3rd place overall regular season wwwwwoooooooo!!
I like that it was all year. Out of all the games we played, there was only one or two I had actually played before. I was really hoping to be in the top ten, but 11th place ain't too shabby. I think I only missed one game all year and that would've put me in there.
I made a push on this last one because I didn't know what we we're doing at the end with the changes this year and didn't want to count on three tiers if they weren't happening. Guess we'll see!

Hah, thanks. This year was my one shot at committing to this thing so I had to make it count
I like how laddersandcakes and barrelsandrivets are right next to each other on the leader board... the two posters who always remind me of each other because of the very similar usernames.
10-15 (the rest of everyone who consistently participated)
That also puts the Colorado trio and Toxie all in the same tier
Sandafloor...... How would we have three rounds of elimination style tournament with three people? What am I supposed to play myself in the last round after I knock you and Bert out?
If there is only three of us in tier one that's the only way you make podium!!! Oooooohhhhh

Well, shit.
Third place prince again. Smh.
Damn rookie with no wins and less 2nd's is ahead of me. Go figure.
Edit: nice work Brock
I'm sure you'll be back in 2nd at the end of this week. I have more interest in beating Battlemaniacs than AI2
Pretty good rivalry we have going, wouldn't you say?
Yes, though it may be a battle for 3rd place soon enough

Yeah, he usually starts them around 1-2pm NA time
Correct, NA runs on Eastern Standard Time.
The BEST time.
38, 37, 36 and 35 points for the first 4 places. XD

And that is that. I did what I came to do! Beat JamesRobot. I've always told him that I'm better than him at Nintendo.

Top 3 (all over 200 points)
4-9 (all over 100 points)
10-15 (the rest of everyone who consistently participated)
That also puts the Colorado trio and Toxie all in the same tier

And it could have been mine if I had actually played Super Mario, even if I only had achieved a participation score there.
But oh well, fun was had. Maybe next year if my focus don't drift to other stuff.
I selfishly hope the tiers are:
Top 3 (all over 200 points)
4-9 (all over 100 points)
10-15 (the rest of everyone who consistently participated)

For that reason I don't think you can have a tier with only three people. Then you're all guaranteed an award icon.
