CONTEST RULES
To enter, send a floppy disk (either size) with your RECORDS.SF2
and RECORDS2.SF2 file(s) to PMP Software Records Contest, 4021
Meramec St #5, Saint Louis MO 63116-3559. A sample entry form is
at end of this file.
You can also enter via email by sending your RECORDS*.SF2 file(s)
and ENTRY.FRM info to pmpsoft@crl.com. If enter via email and
win a free update, you'll get the update sent quickly by email.
Entries must be postmarked on or before December 31, 1995. If
sent by email, the date must be December 31 1995 or earlier. No
forged date info!
Void where prohibited.
You may enter as often as you like, but multiple instances of the
same record will only be counted once.
PMP Software members and their families are not eligible.
Employees and immediate families of sponsors of this contest
are not eligible for prizes offered by that sponsor.
If you want your disk back, include a SASE with appropriate postage
(that would probably not be worth it).
Any character named 'Anonymous' is not eligible.
A record can be set at a world created with the SCARYFISH Make
Your Own Worlds utility. Results will have a * by the world
name to indicate a user-created world.
If you have records set at worlds created with the Make Your Own
Worlds Utility, include the file USRWRLDS.SF2 if you want the
records to list the names of the user-created worlds.
You don't have to be registered, but the superior action at the
registered user worlds would probably increase your chance of
winning a prize. See "Registration/Ordering Info" from the game's
main menu or the file ORDER.FRM.
Not responsible for lost or misdirected entries, or if your records
file(s) are unreadable.
You can send multiple records files on the same disk (ex. running
the game on machines at home and work, and you have impressive
records on both), but give them different names like 'RECORDS1.SF2',
'RECORDS2.SF2', etc. so they don't get overwritten.
In the case of a tie between different characters, a computer-
generated random number will pick one winner, with each tied
contestant getting equal chance of winning. For multiple instances
of the exact same character/record combination, the one with a
corresponding transcript file will be considered authentic.
Sending in multiple copies of the same record will NOT increase
your odds of winning! For the "Most 2nd place records", the total
counts ties as a fraction, i.e. a 2-way tie is .5, a 4-way is .25.
PMP Software reserves the right to refer to a winning contestant as
"Anonymous" if the character name is profane or might otherwise be
considered offensive. Ditto for user-created world names.
How to see the list of winners and their impressive records:
1) Get a 1996 version of SCARYFISH.
2) Send SASE to PMP Software and indicate you want results list.
3) Email PMP Software requesting the results list or download it
from the PMP Software ftp directory listed in READ.ME.
4) Encourage your favorite outdoors publication to print the
results list or a sample of it!
Hacked or otherwise forged entries will be disqualified.
Second Prize winners will get only one free update, even if they set
multiple 2nd Prize records.
In the event that no record is set (possible with categories where
the program maintains only one record), no Second Prize will be
awarded for that specific record. For categories with multiple
records, you don't necessarily have to beat the preset #1 record
to win.
To clarify the "Most 2nd prizes" record, that is for one character
on one disk (can include the same character on two records files).
Automatic 2nd prizes from a Grand or First Prize are not included
in the total: #1 of Top 20, biggest of that species, IFGA for that
line class; Most Points for the session; Most Fish for the session.
____________________________________________________________________
Notes:
Remember the records are stored in 2 files, RECORDS.SF2 and
RECORDS2.SF2. Include both when you enter.
Use DOS or your favorite file manager to copy the records file(s)
onto the floppy you'll be sending to enter the contest. Example
with the game on a C: hard drive in the directory C:\SCARY2 and a
virus-free, formatted floppy in drive A:
C:> CD\SCARY2
C:\SCARY2> COPY RECORDS*.SF2 A:\
If you run the game from a floppy, you probably want to copy the
records file(s) from the game disk to a new floppy to be sent in,
as opposed to sending in your game disk.
When making a copy of the shareware version of SCARYFISH for a
friend or uploading to a BBS, use the original "blank" RECORDS.SF2
dated 02-20-95 (from the master or backup disk). If you gave some-
one a copy without "blank" records, thanks for promoting shareware,
but some fiend might try to claim one of your records as their own,
so include transcript file(s) of your best record(s).
List your character name(s) on the entry form. If the records were
not "blank" from where you got the game, don't try to claim other
people's records as your own. They probably have transcripts
proving they're the real one.
