Kirill, your score is 8, not 13, because you touched the ceiling with Rainbow Dash, your first worm, and the rules say "no unmarked contact allowed before reaching your target", i.e. you can only touch wherever the map allows you to touch.

Guys, read the rules carefully before passing the chally :D
Hehe, yes, I think you already understand why your 45pts run is actually not a 45pts run, but let me explain it for other players just in case.

A copy of Saint's now deleted run: [attachment=1]
- 0:42 is invalid because that worm touched the ceiling.
- 1:07 is invalid because it did not touch the green part.
- 1:37 did not touch the green part as well.

You have to connect your rope to blue, bounce from red, bank your worm from green, and reach the target without touching anywhere else on your way. These are the official rules that Komo put on his map and they are mentioned in the chally description, so you have to follow them.

I hit 9 four times in a row. I think there used to be some kind of bonus for this or am I mistaken?

That was only used in some old Darts cups, I think. So, no extra bonus for hitting the bullseye in a row.

Still, very impressive run. :) Good to see you in a Darts chally, man.

I used to play darts with Hurz a lot but lately I haven't seen him.

This was his last message on dS shoutbox:

Hopefully, he'll return eventually. I also played Darts with him a lot back in the day. He's a good player.

Even though you're technically correct, screw you for putting the blame on me! :P :D

Kidding, of course!

Yeah, you're thinking of dS Tours, which I am hoping will make a return if we get enough interested players, still have the dS Tours program that Tomi made us.

During a Tour, the points you earned were based on your overall score and performance. So you could still lose the Tour overall, but come out with more points than your opponents...

For example, in a 4 player Tour... You play 4 maps, and if you won 1 map and finished 2nd 3 times, and other guy came 1st 3 times and 2nd once you would finish 2nd overall.

So you would get 3 points for coming 2nd in a 4 player Tour, 1st gets 4, 3rd gets 2 and 4th gets 1.

Now, on top of that, you can get bonus points! If you got 3x Bullseye consecutively you got an extra point, if you got a perfect game, you got an extra 5 points. If you got a perfect tour, which is win all maps, you get an extra 2 points!

So you could get 3x bullseye in 4 maps and get 4 extra points! giving you 7 points and 1st place 4. It's a nice way to reward overall and consistent performance.

If you mean medals like in the old NdSCs, I don't have the image file for them, but I will get it from Hurz when he returns to WA.
