What happens if they won't acknowledge it?

Jules Verne was a French Breton author who, pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical, submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated individual author in the world, according to Index Translationum. Verne, along with Hugo Gernsback and H. G.

Here are the interim scores for Act I Round 2. Two games are still active.
Here is a FAQ about the special map bonuses.
There is an important caveat about the Premium Prizes.
I have made a rule change about substitutions.
Finally, I have made a duplicate of the original post and put it here. This is so I can make edits to the rules (since I have no access to DJENRE's original post.) DJENRE's turn-sitters have offered to edit his original post for me, but CC rules prohibit this, and I wouldn't be comfortable with it even if it was allowed, so I decline the offer. I will just use this duplicate copy of the original post to make my edits in.
All of the above posts are on page 33 of the tournament thread, so if you lose this PM and want to refer back to something, just remember 33. Just like an old LP record, or 1/3 of a hundred, approximately...

i mean i dont think the rules said that you can get up to 20 points. i thought it was, if you achieve the bonus, it is +10 automatically no matter what the outcome of the game would be.
if i knew this before, i would have tried harder to achieve the objective
