Better Than the Best
Notes/News
This time you should give screenies on this round, since the games point ratio has chanced dramatically.
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: 45 points
2nd place: 37 points
3rd place: 31 points
4th place: 26 points
5th place: 22 points
6th place: 18 points
7th place: 15 points
8th place: 12 points
9th place: 10 points
10th place: 8 points
11th onwards get 6 points 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.

*Participated in last BTTB
I think I'm not even trying this one. I was tempted to get out my trackball and give the last one a try, but I never did get the time. Life happens, eh?
But it took me many hours to get the minimum score to pass the AAA on that game.
Goodluck to all contestants.
Darn, I know I got a high enough score on this game to get a Bronze trophy last time I needed to play it for a challenge, but I didn't take a screenie. This'll be a pain to replay...
Edit: First try was 546, which is at least good enough to beat the second challenger...
Edit2: 622
Edit3: 708
Edit4: 789
Edit5: 792 One more try...
Edit6: 818
And I'm done for the time being. I'll give a screenie later, once I'm sure I won't be scoring any higher.
*pokes rule number 1 of the rulebook
*
My highest in the revised version is 985, enough to beat the Snow Beast by 1 point
. (don't include me)
The most basic tip I can offer is to master the technique of hitting with max power and properly aiming the petpet into the cave. Practice with this.
When you feel like you can shoot max petpets more frequently, you'll need to learn how to shoot petpets into the hole without max power while avoiding the PPL. This will help your score a lot since petpets shot in at berserk will contribute only 3 points.
Finally, try to smack last minute petpets during berserk. Any petpets that go in after berserk was over (but whacked before berserk ends) will give normal points.
Good luck
weee, I can see you on the hi-score table, so i think i can add you, eh?
I also see myself at the hiscores so ill add myself too.
964
EDIT:Got over 1k
1046
59 points from me. This game stinks.
I got the trophy with that score
The next round will begin soon.
