It's been a year since Beat the Challengers went down, but now, i'm taking it out from its gravestone. That's right, it's the newly revived...

Better Than the Best

Mechanics and Rules:

Every week, a random game will be picked. There will be 3 challengers just like in the past with scores. Beat them to gain points, but aside from this, there will be a separate High score table for all the participants, where they will also be competing against each other. The higher the rank the more points you'll get.

However unlike last time, there will be NO trophies given out. Instead, there will be a Hall of Fame displaying how everyone's doing.

Point scoring are as follows:

Beat all 3 challengers: 30 points
Beat 2 challengers: 20 points
Beat 1 challenger: 10 points

High scores order:
1st place: 40 points
2nd place: 32 points
3rd place: 26 points
4th place: 21 points
5th place: 17 points
6th place: 13 points
7th place: 10 points
8th place: 7 points
9th place: 5 points
10th place: 3 points

11th onwards get 1 point for participation

Last but not least, random events! They can either make your life easier, or harder. Be prepared!

Rules:
1. I will indicate when you need to post a screenshot of a game when you get a high score. This is because of updates to the flash games in neopets. (E.g. Snowbeast Smackrifice, before you can score around 8,000, now it's very difficult to get past 1k)

2. Cheating is strictly prohibited. If I catch you cheating in a flash game, you will be permanently banned from this contest, and will be reported to TNT. (game codes TNT placed in the games can be used though). Also for your safety, please do not abuse the bugs in the flash games. You'll simply put your account on risk of getting frozen.

3. Sharing of tips is fine with me in this thread. I would sometimes even encourage it though. In fact, i'm holding this contest for you guys to know which game you're good at, and one day get a trophy.

I hope you'll enjoy this game!

I'll join

You know, the site supports trophies now. You can just use the ones from last year.

Sounds good, but perhaps top 3 can get trophies? The new forum still supports trophies, it's just unfortunate that only 1 semi-active person can give them out

EDIT-ah was too slow doing other stuff

Soulds cool. *likes BTY, and this sounds sorta like that*

I still have no plans for trophies though. Giving them one at a time per game may flood you up with same trophies, but I'll think about it. Maybe when I declare this contest over (lol, don't worry this contest will last long), that's the time I award trophies to highest ranked players in the Hall of Fame.

I'm atrocious at gaming but I'll join lol

I'm willing to participate too. ^_^

I'll join!! Sounds cool.

I'll join, i liked the previous version.

I will join and see what it is like.

*stinks at flash games but will join anyway*
