It's all in the name of fun anyway, if a prize was the motivation I'm sure at least a few folks would find ways to avoid being caught cheating. That's just my .0000000002 worth for now. Other suggestions will come via e-mail but I just wanted to say this to everyone just to find out if there are any "true" methods to weed out cheating if it's at all possible.

Sound like its going to be hot! Been looking for a league or some oppents. Is snare going to be multi user? and Whats the address for ftp sites? Thanks Sixpack

Sounds good. Leave out the fees though. Too much temptation for people to *cheat*. Some suggestions: 1. Don't impose setup restrictions. 2. Allow several divisions based on opponents on screen (some of us don't have pentiums to run 38 opponents, but wouldn't mind running 100% distance) 3. Allow provisionals based on points standings - that way the regulars get a chance when they're down. 4. Make qualifying a must. Like ESPN said, "You can't win the race, if you don't qualify...." 5. Perhaps more promo on the winners of the divisions, i.e, picture of driver/car etc. Go #6 Mark Martin and #16 Ted Musgrave - Jack Roush Racing!!

There are a few folks connected with the Papyrus BBS who have come up with software that makes it nearly impossible to cheat. The recent showdown between compuserve and the Papyrus BBS (compuserve was judged as the faster group) had a very comprehensive anti-cheat software. On the down side of it, it was also *very* sensitive. Of course, *IF* you're an expert programer, I'd imagine you can get away with just about anything, given enough time. Mike
