For what its worth I stayed up until midnight and could not post.I worked all day and was not home until 9pm
I emailed the editors my score at 10:06pm. If you contct the editors m,y score is with them. So I did send in my score to the next available person.
Vocelli: 226010
If posting was not available at the deadline I believe this score should count. I just awoke and here I am.
To be technical, TD Kofoed score is posted past midnight too. Rules are rules!

I prefer the Knock-out Tourney. It creates a 'must-play everygame well' attitude. That makes it more exciting!

Wow! I made it again! SIX players left!
I am not a big Frogger fan but the game was not boring either so last week was ok.
This is where I predict this weeks low score. But first...
Last weeks' game Frogger. I did a bit better on the prediction. I predicted 2550 for the low score and this is how it ended.
5,613 - DT Kofoed 1st
4,063 - Deteacher 2nd
3,999 - Jifremok 3rd
3,759 - JacobZu7zu7 4th
3,670 - Vocelli 5th
3,576 - toymailman 6th
2,813 - Gorfy 7th
I wasn't too far off. And look the top 2 players finished at the bottom!
Now that high score, once again, is truely a feat of greatness!
Onward to Seaquest. What a fun game. Activision was amazing back in the day!
Not much to say about the game but pure fun!
Now we are down to the last six players. The competition will be fierce.
So I predict the low score will be... 220,000 maybe even higher!
C'mon, we are talking about the top players here. Lets see what happens. I imagine that ANYONE could be gone.
Practice, practice, practice!
My first score.

We are down to SEVEN !
Just one game that you are not good at could KO you.
This is where I try to predict the low score of the week.
But first last week... Kaboom!
Wow, I didn't know I was that good at Kaboom. Go figure. I just discovered this. Good for me!
I was REALLY off on my low score prediction. The worse prediction I have ever made. I predicted 18K but this is what it looked like.
6,641 - JacobZu7zu7 6th
4,096 - DT Kofoed 7th
2,715 - Scrabbler15 8th
So I was way off.
But look at the top scores.
26,274 - Vocelli 1st
17,573 - Gorfy 2nd
11,801 - Jifremok 3rd
Hey I beat everyone. My best showing yet.
Now onward. Frogger ( Difficulty A )
Now everyone has played Frogger at least once. Honestly, I hate the game. I am OK at it but I find it not to be fun. Just me.
Getting over 2K points is good and cracking 3K is GREAT! Playing on Difficulty A makes cracking 3K even harder.
Once those snakes appear I find myself losing my lives quickly.
So I will predict the low score of the week will be 2550. On difficulty B I would say over 3K but on Difficuly A hitting the first hole can be frustrating. Plus, sometimes the Logs don't line up right and I can't even get to the first hole.
Good Luck, we are approaching the finals quickly!

A very touching story scrabbler. I wish I could come to your house for a day and play and talk Atari. That would be fun!

Wow! We have had some CRAZY Top 10.

First one of the best Atari HSC Players goes down in Laser Gates then Cparsley is 2 minutes (that's right 12:02am) too late to submit his score which would have put him in the next round. Thanks to him I am in the Kaboom round.
So, this is where I predict the low score of the week.
But first...
Last week for EFTM I predicted a low score of 210. Wow was I off. The scores were so much higher. The KO tourney is really pushing the players to perform at their best and it shows.
444 - DT Kofoed 7th
349 - Vocelli 8th - not KO'ed because cparsley score of 549 was submitted at 12:02am.
Everyone who is left made it out of the maze at least once. WOW!
The high scores were...
615 - toymailman 1st
598 - Jifremok 2nd
549 - cparsley 9th (actual KO'ed player)
That high score may never be broken!
Onward to Kaboom! Now you are either really good at this game OR really bad.This is a hard prediction. Since we are down to 8 players and all are good I am predicting a low score of... 18K. That's right 18K. It might even be higher. Once you can get past 10K and can perform well with 1-2 buckets then you should make it to 18K. I know I have broken 20K once as a kid. So... good luck!
Here is my first score.

YIPPIE ! I spent over 5 hours trying for a high score! Glad to see it paid off!
On to Kaboom!
-
The time is off by one hour. Right now it is 8:05am. But the post reads 7am.
-
This is how it went. I poster my score at 11:27pm est. Gorfy posted at 11:29pm. Then I logged off at 12:01am. And went to bed. Cparsley's score was not posted until 12:02am and then edited later. Looks like I move on.
-
I went to bed at midnight and this score was not posted until after midnight. Not to be a stickler on rules but I just want to stay in the race.

Ok. Back in town. Looks like it is going to be a Mindmaster Sunday!

Wow! What a week last week. We just witnessed the KO of a great player! It only takes one game to get you KO'ed! From this point onward it could be anyone!
This is where I predict the low score of the week... but first.
Recap:
Laser gates I predicted a low score of 42K.
This is how it ended up.
45,249 - cparsley
44,629 - DTKofoed
42,599 - oyamafamily
WOW I was right! Thank-you, thank-you.
Those high scores were once again unbelievable!
85,006 - Deteacher
84,736 - Liduario
84,236 - Gorfy
All separated by less than 800 pts!
Now onward... EFTM
Now this game is impressive to me because it is one of the few 1st person games for the Atari 2600 and only the second I have ever played.
Great game. Scoring sometimes is based on luck. If you get the right set-up with the objects in a nice easy location then you can score high.
My only grip is that they alien guy scares me.

Since we are down to 9 plyers then my prediction will be 210! Wow, I have never gotten that high so this week will be a challenge for me.
Maybe, just a slight maybe, we might see a low score of 150. That could be me.
Good luck!
My first attempt:
