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?
 
Leave Lonnie's score on the machine. He traveled to make that score.

You have a trophy for every game or is this Joust specific?

I think a note that the second place score takes the prize on Joust is all you need.

We have 28 trophies to give out, one for every high score made in the month of December, for every arcade/pinball game here.

Thanks for the advice.
