Congrats on winning! Re: taxes. You should get a 1099 from LH or the judging agency, & technically that's the amount you'll declare on your taxes. However, if you can prove that the value is less than the 1099 amount (ie, printouts from the web showing airfare, price of prepaid phone) etc, then you would declare that amount. There's some line item or form on tax forms for stuff like this. I'm not a tax person, so my input should not be considered financial advice.

Cheers.

full score 18000. im pretty sure you wanna get full points as many times as you can. they take the top 10 scores..but you have to take into account that there's a lot of people with the same score. so im guessing that somewhere in 1790/80's is one of them. not really hard to get you just need to know how to get it. . there's a technique to that. when i entered this there seemed to be alot of people getting full scores...but it's dropped off somewhat since then. wonder what happened??

Ooh...I got a full score twice now...I wonder if each time I get a full score if it counts as an entry, or its only once in the top 10. Oh well we'll see. ::crosses fingers::

Congrats,

I was just wondering what you mean by "technique" there. Now that you've won some tips could help us out for round two and three! In answer to your question, I think those people who kept maxing out the board dropped off after losing intrest. What do you think?
