I suppose you can have such score if you use lagging computer. for teh Shark game you have to have more reflexes. Thats why i got higher score. For me , a winner who uses lag to complete a game, is not a winner at all.

Tadahhhh his responce :

Thereâs a difference between inducing lag and using a computer that is slow. I frown upon inducing lag, e.g. opening a lot of programs to slow you compute down, or using a program to slow down your game. But I donât think itâs cheating if one has a computer that is a bit old and slow, and uses that. If that were the case, youâd basically have to disallow everyone who canât afford to buy a new computer from joining in the first place, which just isnât fair.

I donât induce lag when playing competitively, whether itâs in a tournament, or with friends. But my computer is a little bit old, though I donât think itâs old enough to make much of a difference.

Your name will now appear alongside the other former champions from this point forward. Congratulations.

I'd like to thank everyone who participated for making this a very memorable experience. I really enjoyed being your host.

I've been at this since 2009 and while it's common for the novelty to eventually wear off, this tournament brought back a lot of the memories and excitement from those early days on MiniClip. When my ideas were raw and every step was a journey into the unknown.

We managed to get a great turn out on both forums, I also think the competitive level was very high all the way through. You guys, did a great job of representing your forums!

I'll be sending out some interview questions for MaistlinRajere and thebluerabbit. Should have them posted on here and (AG) in a few days.

Thanks again to everyone for making the tournament a great success!
