Season 1, Round 1 starts today: Donkey Kong, on Skill 1, closing Sunday
15 September.

This is the first round the club has ever run, so a quick word on how it
works.

Play it in your browser from the round page, or on real hardware. Both
count exactly the same and neither gets extra credit. If you own the
cartridge, use it — and either build is fine, they play the same.

Send a picture of the screen with your score. It's encouraged, not
required — except for a record. If your score would take first place,
send a photo, because that's the number everybody else gets measured
against.

Rolled the counter? Say so when you submit. A rolled score reads low, so
the board would otherwise rank it beneath scores it beat. Everybody who
rolls shares first place.

Top score at the close takes 100 points, and everyone else scores against
it proportionally. Your round score also counts toward the permanent
Donkey Kong record, so you won't be asked to play it twice.

Now the part I actually want to hear about: where does it get you? Post
your score, post your superstitions, and ask somebody else how they got
theirs.

Good luck.
