I just don't know if charging for submissions is, in the record keeping world, ethical. I'm surprised Guinness would be OK with this. If you deny any entries that don't shell out money to be considered, it isn't really honest. I know a more than a few gamers who simply could not shell out that kind of money for a line of text on the internet.

Very fair point, and I can see that being an issue.

I think it would be more than fair to have tiers of membership, and charge members for their ability to submit scores more freely. All non-paying members could have a cap limit of like 1 free submission every 3 months. I'd also be fine with needing members to jump through a couple more hoops to prove who they are, so they don't have to review submissions from I.C. Wiener or Dick Cheeseburger. And I don't think anything beyond a certain mark like 25th place really needs to be reviewed.

Irving Charles Wiener and Richard Cheeseburger just both ran down the hall crying.  :cheers:

Don't encourage him.

I can't really see all that many people submitting any sort of quantity of scores that would justify membership.  Not many people submit scores.  Even fewer submit them with any sort of frequency.  What they are trying to do is drive people to their live events at public locations.  At this point being able to submit online is pretty much the "No Purchase Necessary" way to enter a contest that you enter by buying something.  Yeah, you can, but there's no way of knowing if the index card you sent in ever got looked at.
