A sample entry form is at end of this file. You can also enter via email by sending your RECORDS.SF3 file(s) and ENTRY.FRM info to the PMP software email address. If you enter via email and win a free update, you'll get the update sent quickly by email. Entries must be postmarked on or before January 10. If sent by email, the date must be January 10 or earlier. No forged date info! If you're reading this after January 1997, there's probably another year of the contest but you might want to check to make sure. 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. A record can be set at a world created with the SCARYFISH Make Your Own Worlds utility, with the exception of the following categories: Most Fish, Most Of A Species, Most Points, and Most Species. Results will have a * by the world name to indicate a user-created world if the category is not eligible. This prevents people from making worlds just for the purpose of breaking records. User-created worlds in the User Worlds I and II _are_ eligible for those categories, though. 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 'RECORDS.1', 'RECORDS.2', 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 the next 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 online sites listed in READ.ME. 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: 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.SF3 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. 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. __________________________________________________________________ Sample Entry Form - See the file ENTRY.FRM
