Got past the birds and went to grab the chain but I was just barely too low and fell to my death. Ugh. Had I not made that stupid mistake I would have passed Red and may have passed up Doug in the next couple of screens.

Score updated. I'm going to have to try a different controller. The D pad on my regular one is so worn out, it feels like the circle pad on a NES Max.

Unfortunately, the tournament is for the people who earned high enough spots on the leaderboard in contests from the first half of the year. So it is too late to compete on this particular game. But make sure you show up in the second half! Check out the games coming up on the main Leaderboard thread that is pinned in Gamers Gauntlet.

I'll just say that there's nothing wrong with playing along for fun just to see how you stack up. That's what I plan on doing.

So I noticed my score is not posted on the leaderboard. So are emulators banned this week? I haven't been able to get a cart (anyone have an extra one?) and I do not have an ebay account anymore,so if I can't use my laptop I am essentially done.

The rules say you can. Probably missed it by accident.

The rules say you can use a Donkey Kong Jr. or Donkey Kong Classics Cart.  It also says below about if an emulator is used..., but my assumption was no emulators.  Bimmy or guillavoie can chime in with a ruling.

Quote from Bimmy on the "Official NintendoAge Weekly Contest 2015 Summer Tournament Thread" under "Games"
   'The games I have selected are common enough where most of everyone should be able to find them at a game store or online."

I do have both games, so I could lend you one of them if needed Guts.

Or, I just checked, and they have Donkey Kong Classics over at jjgames.com for $20.40 + $14.60 for Expedited Shipping.

The last paragraph in the OP mentions what to do when using emulators, but it's the same standard text that's on all the contest threads.

Guts, if you end up needing a DK Classics cart I can hook you up with one as well.
