You can join at any time... up until December 1st, because that's when the Top xx point-getters play for double or more.
Don't ask, just go ahead and play.
Don't cheat.
- Cheating is posting around the time the Z100 9@9 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) 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 Z100 9@9 prediction as someone else in their TOP TEN, TOP 20 (For VH1 Top 20/CMT) (excluding On Deck or Countdown Contenders) or TOP 30 for (MMT30), your predictions will
not count, and you will recieve a -25 for the day/week.
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.
