- CONTEST RULES
-
- To enter, send a floppy disk (either size) with your RECORDS.SF3
- file(s) to PMP Software Records Contest, PO Box 18691, Saint Louis
- MO 63118. 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.
