Hi Alessandro. You missed my score of 940 for Nohzdyve. I thought I’d posted the screenshot but will do it in the morning. Thanks!

Something tells me it's the only thing I'm going to win in this competition, but I'll take it...!

Please let me know if you find any mistakes (which are very likely as numbers are not my strong suit).

Scoring system is dead simple: 12pts for 1st, 11 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd and so on. If we happen to get more than 12 players it's all 1 each point for the bottom dwellers.

At the moment we have got two runaway pros going (nearly) head to head at the top and a tight cluster of a hungry runners up below. Then there's the drop zone, with yours truly featuring

Alessandro is a natural and talented games player, no doubt. Even in round 2 his "placeholder" scores are excellent (84 for Flappy Bird ZX!). I speak from experience when I say this, as he achieved great things in various Speccy Tours.

But I'm not a pro. By pure chance you started with a game that I love, Bomb Jack, and therefore have played for hundreds of hours down the years. When it came to Penetrator, Morkin got over double my score, and with Nohzdyve it was R-Tape who got over double my score.

I'm also impressed by Freespirit's 479K score on Bomb Jack. If he had previously put the same amount of hours into it that Alessandro and I have then I think he would have been above us both.

I hope you did those spreadsheets on VU-Calc [mention]smurphboy[/mention]?

I hope you did those spreadsheets on VU-Calc @smurphboy?

I did have Tascalc on my +3 but that can't do the database formula I need to make this work. So I had to use a modern spreadsheet.

My secret side project is to do it on my Next to see if I can get my ZX Basic skills back up to scratch.

Nice calculation work Mr [mention]smurphboy[/mention], here you go, don't go eating/spending it all at once now.
