That's one reason I don't wait to post at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She takes the final score posted at the deadline, not the fifty thousand interim updates, and regardless, if she's going to follow precedent like any normal adjudicator would, Wiz's score is the one that will go through...

Does not make up for my pro am 2 loss (generally prefer top down), but it sure is sweet. Ya got me this time Buddy. I had some rough luck this week.

The record is kept on @0xDEAFC0DE's unofficial bracket though, so while the pic isn't there anymore, the score could still stand. Also, a lot of sites allow admins to see a log of edits, so it may still exist on the server. Anyway, as mentioned, the precedent says that my score should count, and the updated score should not.

Actually, his current username fits pretty well: you can't get much more docile at Challenger than twelve thousand points. But at that point, my question is why did he even bother to waste his time upgrading from the 200 point score?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 | 1,333 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Let's be real though, even if I go through, I'm likely not making it past the next round anyway, so I don't particularly care one way or another. It's just something that is gonna stick in my craw if I'm DQ'd for an image that would've been accepted any other time throughout the competition. Still gonna play Golf though...fucking love that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One solution would be to allow you both through and make the next round the top 4 scores out of 9 players advance to the final round... just spit-balling here.... EDIT: or make you both eliminated and have top 4 scores go through out of 7 players Edited November 29, 2021 by Dr. Morbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train stage was bearable but the second area with the houses? Wtf? I tried going in the houses, nothing, I tried walking around everywhere but there was a skeleton in the way, I looked for some other obvious point of interest until I ran out of time.

You get a 100k bonus if you get in and out of the caves fast enough. The items that drop are 10k each. There are a bunch of ways to get points.
