 Rules & Points (taken from the Console World Charts)
 --------------------------------------------------

	     All releases before 24.00 EST at the end of each month are counted.

 -1 Point  - DUPE: Released a game, but only after another group already beat
             you?  -1 point then.
             DUPE TRAINER: A Late Trainer with the same or less options.
             BROKEN: If you release a game/trainer/crack that doesn't work,
             -1 time!

 +0 Points - BETA: Beta releases are cool to check out, but they are not
             the real deal. No points are given or taken for these.
             TERRITORY DUPE: If a game is released in Europe first and
             contains English, then a following USA release is considered
             a territory dupe. If a game is released in the USA first,
             and it releases later in Europe with no additional languages,
             it is also considered a territory dupe. Games that have
             additional game features/levels/etc. added are void from
             territory dupe rules. Only Roms that contain differences
             when file compared fit into the territory dupe category,
             if a Rom is the exact same in 2 territories, it fits into
             the -1 dupe category. Territory dupes receive 0 points.
             FIX: A non-protection related fix for a released game gets 0
             points.

 +1 Point  - TRAINER: Any selectable trainer including a menu receives
             1 point.
             MULTI: A European Multi Language release of a previously
             available US title.
             FOREIGN: A German/French/Spanish/Etc. release of a
             previously available English title.
 +2 Points - AVERAGE JAPANESE: An average Japanese game. Most RPGS,
             Mahjong titles, Slot games, Sims, Adventures, etc. will be
             put into this category. These receive 2 points.
             FOREIGN WORLD FIRST: If a German/French/Spanish/Etc. game
             is out before the English version, it gets 2 points.
             CRACK: A crack for a protected/non-working game gets you 2
             points.

 +3 Points - ENGLISH WORLD FIRST: The first release of a game in English.
             This is generally the first release of the game available,
             either in Europe or the USA. These receive 3 points.
             QUALITY JAPANESE: A quality Japanese title that is either
             highly awaited or playable will receive 3 points. Generally
             games from major companies due out for release later
             in English will fit into this category. Most action games,
             fighting games, etc. will also fall under this category.
