Backup board is invoked if one of the main boards is down during the whole 24h. How would it make sense otherwise? If Reflections was down one hour 03 in the morning just when you tried to upload your crack, the rest of the groups wouldn't notice, and lose just because one board was down for some time during the 24h. 24h rule must mean 24h. If one board is gone for 24h, the backup board goes into effect. That is logical to me. Especially as the race isn't over until 24h have passed.
If two or three (our four?) boards all have hickups during the 24h you mean there are no boards to be counted? Your view of the rules does not make sense. I will count the boards and the releases after 24h have passed. That will show who won the race.

We were first on all boards and sites initially. During that time both Antidote and The Hidden were down, according to the rules, the backup site RapidFire is then invoked and we were first there (and Reflections) thus we were first on the majority of boards using the 24 hour rule. Regards. Note: you cannot re-invoke downed boards. When they are down, backup is in play.

Antidote and The Hidden were down for some time, but came up within the counted 24h when we tried to upload our crack, and we were able to be first on both. We also went with Reflections and the backup BBS Rapidfire, even if the latter is a bit redundant, as we already were first on 2 out of 3 counted boards within the counted 24h. Cheers! |

So now it seems even more reasons to switching to Bacchus's idea of an internet based release site, 1 site to get your upload time and date stamped, first release problem sorted.
And then each release would be awarded points by a panel of sceners, on the merits of the crack, not just who was first.
The bbs scene would still stay alive as the only way to get others to download your crack would be via the bbs's, the first release site would be upload only.
I'm sure Bacchus will happily answer anyones questions or concerns. |

the entire discussion should be deleted and moved to your BBSs.
still the one and only thing that matters here is: what determines if a release, on csdb, gets the first-release tag? |

about Pitcher/Bacchus idea: so in brief a 8bit version of The iSONEWS? maybe it will work, maybe it won't. most of the time: Peecee scene != C64 scene |

Yes, but also a collective of sceners, who then rate the releases between them, back to the old style of scoring, so maybe being first or quickest won't always get the best points. |
