Send us those Scores!

The small print

As always, some terms and conditions apply.

(Well, actually, there are only 6)

1. Score Images All score images (being uploaded using the above form) should be no greater than 400 x 400 pixels in size (200 x 200 is the ideal!) - as the text above advises, if the score image is too large, it can sometimes fail to upload on our systems and as a result, your score will never appear on the board!

It should be noted that images showing the counter with teh score submitted are required for all submissions.

2. High Scores Any scores being submitted that are over 14K will need to be accompanied by a quality video showing a NSD Powerball run of at least 98% of the score submitted. The video must have sound in order that we verify its authenticity and ensure that it is not a result of a counter error. The video should be emailed directly to: scoreadmin@powerballs.com (and not uploaded using the above form!) and is necessary purely for verification purposes (so please don't use a camera phone or low quality digital camera in these cases, the images are just too poor and we reserve the right to refuse the contri.)

NOTE: As of 6th July 2007, any scores over 15,000 rpm will need to be accompanied by vide evidence which clearly depicts a score equal to that being submitted for approval. Score videos can be emailed to our score moderators at scoreadmin@powerballs.com. Submissions which are not supported with video evidence as outlined above will not be approved.

3. Video Requirements

Top100 League - Scores over 14k require video evidence showing a run at least 98% of the score submitted. Scores over 15k require video evdence of the actual score submitted
Metal League - Video evidence required for all submissions
90s Strength - Scores over 17k require video evidence showing the entire run
30s Strength - Scores over 6,500rpm require video evidence showing the entire run
Ladies League - Scores over 11,500 or which are eligible for the monthly prize require video evidence showing the entire run.
Ladies Strength Index - Video evidence required for all submissions showing the complete run from start to finish
Ladies Metal League - Video evidence required for all submissions showing the complete run from start to finish
Dual Run - Video evidence required for all submissions showing both Powerballs clearly with reset scores at the beginning and featured throughout the entire run

4. Scoreboard Prizes Prizes won't be awarded to the same person twice. If your record score remains unbeaten the following month(s) then the NSD Powerball prizes will go to the highest new entrant of that particular month. (If you manage another record breaking run and hand the ball to a buddy for the photo we can't stop you, but we'd hope you'd not be so dishonest...)

5. Judge/Moderator Decisions The judge's ruling on whether we think someone has been acting the maggot with the scores that they present to us is final. If we think that a particular entry smells a little funny then we reserve the absolute right to ignore it.

6. World Records If you find yourself in the fortunate position of achieving a new World Record Score (and big congratulations to you if you do!) then there are a couple of procedures that we must follow to fully determine the accuracy of the claim. These will be mailed directly to you once we receive the record breaking score but basically consist of a water tight verification system to ensure that the name up on the top of the board is there because the owner is the world's top NSD Powerballer...and not the world's top Photoshop user ...and that the ball they are using is operating correctly. Essentially, the main thing we need you to do at time of submission is to get us a video clip of you in action with a score of at least 98% of the [higher] score you have achieved earlier (better still if you actually manage to capture the record itself in the clip!) and also to make sure that the record score remains on the ball and isn't wiped before we have an opportunity to inspect it at first hand!

A final note... The NSD Powerball Top 100 is becoming quite a popular spot and we take our position as board moderators very seriously - we thank you for your co-operation on this!
