I understand where is coming from. About a week ago I was thinking about how unbalanced the point system is when comparing scores amongst the players. My philosophy for a scoring system that will give a player a percentage based on there score compared to the highest score recorded for that game (also varified by Twin Galaxies associates). Below is an example of 5 scores with the players percentage rating based on the score they got. Pat has the same idea I have with giving the highest score a 100% rating and then all the other scores get rated accordingly. This was a rating system Twin Galaxies has been using for almost 20 years now. It has been proved time and time again to be successful and accurated when trying to rate scores amongst players on a certain game. I also agree that there is alot of clones floating around which can benefit a player in lots of ways. I mean, if your the best on donkey kong, I think everyone on marp knows that and have no problem with awarding the player his 10 pts, but to play 4 clones and get another 40 pts just sounds unfair to me. The player diserves the 10 pts, but it can get carried away. Anyway, let me explain what I'm talking about with the scoring rating system for the one's that haven't seen it before. Then I'll wait for some responses to it (I'm sure the 1st one will be Zwaxy! :)(posted 9785 days ago)Note: The game, score and players are an example.

1)Steve Krogman: 2,958,350 100% 2)BBH : 2,495,080 84.34% 3)Angry : 2,104,890 71.15% 4)Krool : 1,790,450 60.52% 5)Zwaxy : 700,000 23.66%
Please let me know if you understand the rating system. Otherwise I can break it down and explain how I came up with the percentages.
