I need some advice about tournaments: Old High Score Vs. Old High Score.

So starting next month we're going to have a High Score-Off! at Rusty Quarters (Dec 1- Dec 29). We have High score card machine toppers and a big High Score Hall of Fame board set up... but I have a dilemma:

Joust

Since we're resetting all the current scores to zero on each machine, we will be deleting Lonnie McDonalds score of +999,999,999 for the competition to make room the Score-off's high score. My dilemma is after the competition, do I Put Lonnie's name and score on the Hall of Fame board (and not acknowledging the high score from the Score-Off?) or the current highest score.

We know that Lonnie reached the high score first but I don't want to disappoint any locals trying to get the current high score from the current tournament (at their local arcade). Also If I don't erase it, no one will try for the high score to win this year's trophy.


I think what I would like to do is to award this year's trophy to this years high score-off and put Lonnie's score on our high score hall of fame (instore/online)... but is that fair to the person that set the high score during the score-off?
