For those of you who've been around awhile, I used to run a weekly feature here on DP called the "Friday Scoreboard". The premise was simple:

Every Friday I would pick a random game from any console. Everything from Atari 2600 to PlayStation 2 would be fair game. Players would then send in their highest attempts to try and beat each other's scores for that week.

Anyways, lack of participation is what killed it off. But since Jibbajaba started running the MAME league, he also had the idea of bringing back the Scoreboard to have another high score league based around console games, rather than arcade games. I agreed to run it once again. He also graciously allowed me to use his forums as a launchpad for the league.

If this sounds like something up your alley, more info can be perused here. (http://www.jibbajaba.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9) If you'd like to join, simply register and post in the aforementioned thread with your preferenced console to start our tournament with. The first game will be posted within a day or two.

I hope to see you there!

I wasn't here long enough to enjoy it, but it does sound like a cool idea. Do it!

I'd love to do this but wasn't around during the original run of it. Was it set up so all games were played on Friday only?

It would be nice it could be like the MAME league except only one night a week or something, or perhaps it plays out all week until Midnight Friday or something?

Anybody can join, whether you were around back then or not. Originally it was every Friday, but now I have it set up where we play a new game every 4 days or so. There's not a very strict guideline for participation, so if you can only play one game a week, that's fine.

Speaking of which, our first game is under consideration here:
