#The rules #For a score to be accepted #Table Settings #Hiscore files and codes

You should have read through these rules before you submit a score. If you haven't you wont know what or what is needed to submit. These are more ethics than rules but you must follow them. It actually is impossible to have a hiscore list without rules. If you still have questions, see the FAQ.

The Rules

The score may not be reached when using a cheat, cheat code or cheat of any kind.

It must be a score that EXIST's, your score and nobody else's. Not a fantasy score but a real score that you got when playing a fair game.

For a score to be placed on the hiscore list 
I must simply know these things.

Pinball and Table name I hope it is obvious why I need this. If you don't find your pinball in the form list, email me your hiscore and the next time your pinball will be in the form list.

The Hiscore The hiscore must be the EXACT hiscore you got. Use "." to separate each 3 number group. (xxx.xxx.xxx)

Your Name You must write the full name to avoid names beeing mixed up. If you must use a nick write like this: Sam "xflies" Gabrielsson. Always use the same name/nick combination when posting hiscores here.

Your Email Type in the email you want showned in the list here, if you have no email leave this field blank. If you don't wish to leave out your email don't expect me to add super high hiscores, since if I'm dubious about whetever a score is real I may want to email you (asking for picture, hiscore file, etc.).

Country Letter Where are you from? Just write those few letters that representate your country.

Comments This is optional. Sometimes you might have useful information to enter there.

Table Settings.

I could list what settings you should use for every pinball but I wont. Instead, try to stay as close as you can to the pinballs default settings. Unluckily a lot of pinballs have stupid defaults and thus you will want to change them, either that or the settings are to hard for you (maybe 3 balls instead of 5, etc). Well don't worry, just change to what you think is normal and challenging enough for you. Don't turn everything down to easiest possible though. Play a fair game, if easiest level with for example 5 balls instead of 3 is hard enough for you, then let it be so. What I mean above is that these hiscore lists list hiscores that the player got when playing a normal game (use you common sence for what you belive is normal). Most pinballs allow changing number of balls, tilt sensitivity... if you wish to change those settings I have no problem with that. (that is usually all you can change) The score is still comparable worldwide, this is not real pinballs, the table wont get torn, the objects wont malfunction and whatever so that the scores played on one AFM (a real pinball) is not comparable to one on another AFM. Simple enough, if a pinball allows choice between for example Easy, Medium, Hard, Tournament, Challenge, Normal playing modes, write so in the comments field when you submit the hiscore. Don't write you played with 5 balls or 3 balls or the tilt sensitivity was that and that. I trust you to think your hiscore is fair and reached during a for you normal play of the table. Remember that just because a beginner uses 10balls, a pro using 3 balls still win because pinball is a game of skill. Maybe... I for example might not change much more in older pinballs than, number of balls from 3 to 5. In timeshock! I play using the different playing styles and only submit factory default scores telling myself what playing modes I used (grand champion, tournament, buyin etc). In bos I play in normal mode and write so in comments. ETC, GET IT? This is simply a place where you can publish your all time best score in a pinball simulation, a score you are really proud of!!! And then others do the same and push you down the list and you begin playing the pinball again to beat that idiot who pushed you down.

Factory default Only a must in pinballs featuring that setting (you have to find out yourself if your pinball feature it). Write in the comments field if it was played with factory default setting (not really a must, but in case your uncertain you can write I don't know if I played in factory). Factory default means that tampering with game rules, mode difficulty etc is NOT ALLOWED.

Hiscore files and codes

It is not neccessary to send me these things, I prefere that you use the form to send in hiscores and thus you can't attach a hiscore file. But if you have a pinball that produces a unique hiscore code, feel free to write it in the comments feeld to show me this really is a true score (I can't really use it, but...). I will though contact you by email asking for a hiscore file if your hiscore is really really high and unbelivable or strange in some way.
