Since SLA has posted his score with the X3 bonus for end of level points and since I'm sick in bed I thought I'd save the judge for this game some calculations - e-mail me if you want a copy of the spreadsheet and the screen snaps for the end of each level.

Adjusted scores are as follows - although I haven't yet confirmed SLAs scores:

BeeJay  1,571,879 
Jump    1,460,509
SLA       973,890

Cheers, BeeJay.

PS: Why was this rule in place cause it sure makes it harder to confirm the final scores?!

Ok, since I'm still sick in bed, I have now confirmed SLAs score as well, and he undersold himself with the 3x multiplier by not counting the 3000pt mole - which is an end of level bonus that you are not guaranteed to always get. I've adjusted his score by the requesite 96000pts such that the final 3 top scores, barring any over-riding from the co-ordinator for this game is:

BeeJay  1,571,879 
Jump    1,460,509
SLA     1,069,890

A tightly contested game with several lead changes during the competition.

Cheers, BeeJay.

PS: My score would have been at least 19700 more if I'd spotted the rainbow fuel/points car that was hidden directly underneath another car. But it was only as it disappeared off the bottom of the screen that I realised why it was such a funny looking car. Check out Race 4 Stage 2 if you're interested - or I could send a screen snap if you want as well. BeeJay.

Mmmm... I added a point to the top 2 cars... it's frankly very logical - no road fighter score up to the rollover point ends in 0, technically you go from 999,980 to 0 - which really equals one million, not 999,999. So BeeJay and Jump - congratulations, you got an extra point. And... congratulations to those two and SLA for their joysticks. GB9
