AoKH spinoff of the SWGBH tourny

We will play using Candystand bowling, located at http://www.candystand.com/games/cs_shock_csmb.htm. If it says you don't have the proper hyperload files, it's only really needed if you're on 56k. It's a 1mb download that allows you to never have to sit and wait for the game to load.

HOW TO PLAY

When you're standing at the approach to the lane:

• move the mouse to the left or the right to adjust where the bowler stands.
  
• Press and hold the mouse button, then move the mouse in a gentle upward motion, releasing the button along the way. (With this motion you control the angle and the force of your throw.)
  
• Move the mouse to the left or the right while the ball is travelling down the lane and you'll add spin to the ball.
  

THE RULES

Alrighty, here are the rules for this tournament.

Each player starts with a score of 300. You can either gain or lose the amount of points you bowl in a game. A maximum of four players are able to bowl in one game.

• If you win the game, you're points increase by the amount of points you bowled in the game.

• If you are in second place, you divide your points by 2 (If decimal number, round to closest whole) and that is the amount you win.

• If you are in third place, you divide your points by 3 (Rounding if decimal number), and lose that amount of points.

• If you are in 4th place, you lose the amount of points you bowled.
  

With that, I'll create some example scores:

Player: Score

1. P1: 178
   
2. P2: 96
   
3. P3: 69
   
4. P4: 54
   

Player 1's score would increase by 178. Player 2's score would increase by 48. Player 3's score would drop by 23. Player 4's score would drop by 54. If you're score reaches 0, you will be removed from the tournament.

In 1v1 games the loser loses their points divided by 2

If you score 0 in a game, you will lose 20 points.

If you get 1000 (or more) points, you will be considered the champion. The only way someone can defeat you, is to:

A) Get the best 2 out of 3 in a three game lineup with the champion
B) Get a higher score then the current champion, in which you will become the champion, and someone will have to do one of these things to unseat you.

At least two players must be in each game. The winner must report the final scores. The other player(s) in the game must validate those scores.

ROLLING THE BALL SLOWLY DOWN THE LANE IS PROHIBITED
Because of the fact that this can make it much easier to knock the pins down, I have chosen to prohibit this. If you are reported to be using slow rolls:

First time: 50 point penalty
Second time: 75 point penalty
Third time: Removal from the tournament

That's pretty much it for now.
