Proposal to modify leaderboard scoring (pls read)

from Pat (laffaye@ibm.net)
I'd like to propose a minor change to leaderboard scoring system. The heart of the problem lies when a new MAME release comes out and the immediate gold rush for points that follows. I'm suggesting a new MARP rule to have a minimum of three submissions for a game, before any LB points are given out for that game.

This in no way changes the majority of the 1/2 million + points already earned. Of course some players would see a decrease in their totals, but again the majority of MARPers would be unaffected. This would also be retroactive to day 1 as there are some older MAME games that do not have at least three scores.

Again, my point is that I don't think it's right to give out 100 points for a game where there was no (or only one) competing player.

Vote your opinion!!
