The bonus structure seems to be misnamed, shouldn’t Beat the Leaders be something like;

 

Finish above at least one<Players in Top 4 from Week 1-19>: +10 bonus.

Finish above at least one<Players in Top 13 from Week 1-19>: +5 Bonus 
 

And if you are in that group. Otherwise the leaders are eligible for the same bonuses, and this is just a score high this week bonus.

Funny, I was just thinking about this one last night! Maybe I should have a burger today!

 

I was at the library today and found an online Atari 2600 emulator.  Unfortunately, I got bored after a while.  So here's my first score:

77,780

I was thinking almost the same thing.

 

Either way, I love this game and I’m excited for the challenge!

Well, if I had a a bit more time on my hands ( I work 60 hours a week as a restaurant owner)... I would have more complex bonuses.

Not complaining. Thanks for running the HSC for so long. I guess I will hold back my suggestion to award Triangular Number bonus, based upon the difference between your own Week 19th place, and the highest rank person you beat this week.

Well, here’s a score for people to beat.
