You can join at any time... up until December 1st, because that's when the Top 20 point-getters play for double or more.
Don't ask, just go ahead and play.
Don't cheat.
- Cheating is posting around the time
106 and Park starts and editing the #10-9 videos when they are on the air. Come on, don't do that, people are going to check (Brandon, JGibson, Cloud) to see if you cheat, and they
will catch you.
- Any and all people who cheat will have 50 points deducted from their scores.
Don't copy someone else's predictions.
- If you have the same
VH1 Top 20, MMT30, CMT Top 20, or
106 and Park prediction as someone else in their TOP TEN or TOP 20 (For VH1 Top 20) (excluding On Deck or Countdown Contenders), your predictions will
not count, and you will recieve a -25 for the day.
Keep your cool.
- Don't argue with me about how I deduct you in certain situations (hopefully I'll never have to take points away from you-- just follow the rules).
- Try to have fun and don't get too bad; it's only a game that we have here on ATRL.
