This will be a 10 game tournament consisting of one title per year starting 1976 and ending 1985.
Nominate a list of 10 titles: one from each year beginning 1976 and ending 1985. List these titles in order of preference, highest to lowest. This will allow me to flesh out the tournament (if need be) in a timely manner by going through each player's nominee list in turn and selecting the highest priority title from that respective player's list.
Example (and please try to follow this format when listing nominees) using titles from last season's Independence Day Tournament:
1982: Pepper II
1980: Star Castle
1979: Astro Fighter
1981: Lady Bug
1976: Sea Wolf
1983: Pole Position II
1984: 1942
1977: Canyon Bomber
1978: Space Invaders
1985: Dig Dug II
In this example, if the tournament field did not fulfill the ten game requirement, my nomination of Pepper II would be selected for my turn in the selection process.
Games will be added to the tournament based on the total number of nominations beginning highest to lowest.
Nomination tiebreakers:
- If a game has not been played previously in the history of the AtariAge Arcade/MAME HSC, that game will be chosen.
- If there are multiple titles that have been played previously in the history of the AtariAge Arcade/MAME HSC, then the most recently played title will be discarded.
If ten games have not been selected by 3AM EDT on Sunday, July 3, games will be selected from their list of nominations in the following order:
- HSC Season 2 Champion (roadrunner)
- HSC Season 3 Standings as of one week from tournament start date from highest to lowest by only those that have posted nominations
- In case of a "wrap around," the selections will return back to the top of the current season standings
Since this is the last tournament of the season, no games will be added to the player queue.
Competition begins Sunday, July 3 @ noon EDT and ends Monday, July 18 @ 3AM EDT

Notes:
You may freely use the Balloons to warp to a different level. An Extra Life is awarded at 100,000 Points and every 200,000 Points there after.
Due to a bug in the game's implementation, all scores above 900,000 MUST be monitored carefully for your correct score due to a bug which gives infinite lives. [If you pass the extra life threshhold after exceeding 900k, you may freely use that extra life from 900k and every 200k [1.1m, 1.3m, 1.5m, etc.] thereafter until you die and no longer would normally have any lives if this glitch did not occur.]
