ENTER THE NET PRESS YOUR LUCK HALL OF FAME HERE
Welcome to the homepage of Net Press Your Luck, one of the greatest Net game
shows out there. And as your host, I promise you will have a great time.
Net Press Your Luck plays just like the real game show of the same name, and
unlike the show, as many people can play one game as possible. Here, I will go
over how the game works, and how you can get in on it.
SIGN-UPS & ENTRY
Anyone wishing to sign up for Net Press Your Luck can e-mail me at the address
at the bottom of the page. You will then be placed on the player list which
allows you to enter all future games.
When a game begins, all people on the list are sent a spin board to see if they
wish to play. After the 1st spin board of a game expires, no more players are
allowed in for that game.
During each campaign, two games are played. The format consists of either two
regular games, or the tournament and one regular game. When two regular games
are played, players have the option of choosing the game they wish to enter,
with each game having its own board and patterns. Players may also wish to be
placed randomly into either of the games.
THE RULES OF THE GAME
Games of NPYL last approximately 2-3 months. They consist of 2 rounds in 2
seperate parts: a spin board & a cash board.
THE SPIN BOARD
A spin board numbered 1-18 will be sent at the start of each round to all
contestants. It will look like this:

There will be 5 squares with 3 spins, 5 with 0 spins, and 8 with 1 spin.
Contestants have 4 days to submit their 4 square choices for spins. Everybody is
eligible to play, although new players can only join at the start of a new game.
NOTE: If one of the boards from WHAMMY! is selected, there will be no spin board
in Round 1. Players will be asked to simply sign in within the designated
contestant call. Rules will then proceed as they do on the show. In Round 2, the
spin board will still exist, with players choosing 5 numbers rather than 4.
THE CASH BOARD
After the spin board has been up for 4 days, the cash round begins. All
contestants who have spins will be eligible to "Press Their Luck" at the big
board. The cash board will look exactly like the spin board, except cash,
prizes, surprises, and whammies will be hidden among the squares. Also, the
format for the cash board will look exactly like a board from the real show
(although I, Brian, may use my own board from time to time :-).
On each spin the board spins until a contestant sends me a message saying
"STOP!". The time that the message is sent will determine the box that is hit,
as well as the contents of that box. He/She wins what was hidden in the box on
which the board stopped.
IMPORTANT:
There is a deadline to take spins. At least one spin must be taken before the
end of every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If a spin isn't taken before the
deadline, the player receives a whammy.
All cash, prizes and Whammies are located in their original positions in the
board, with each box containing 3 things. The board "light" is based on a series
of 5 patterns that are reconstructed for every game.
When a prize square is hit, the prize it contains will change for EVERYBODY.
Thus, each prize can only be earned by one person, except when all prizes for a
square are claimed. In addition, squares such as the Gem Car (among other
vehicles), Add-A-One and Double Your $$+One Spin will also be on the board. Each
of these special prizes will only reappear on the board if the player who wins
them hits a Whammy.
Values of all prizes are determined by us based on present values from The Price
Is Right and Whammy!: The All New Press Your Luck, and they may change from game
to game.
At any time, a contestant may pass their remaining spins. When that happens,
his/her spins are divided up among the 3 players with the HIGHEST AMOUNT OF
MONEY in that game. If you ARE one of the top 3 players, the spins are divided
up in the following fashion:
If 3rd place passes, spins are split btwn. 1st & 2nd place.
If 2nd place passes, all the spins go to the player in 1st place.
If the leader passes, spins are split btwn. 2nd & 3rd place.
The passing rules do not apply to Round 1 of WHAMMY! games, where contestants
may instead freeze their score after all players have taken their next spin.
The round continues until all players have used their spins or frozen their
scores. At the end of Round 1, the player with the most money gets a choice of
getting 3 bonus spins (added to what they earn for Round 2), going ahead of the
Round 2 spin leader by 1 spin, or staying with what he/she earns for Round 2. At
the end of Round 2, the player with the most money is declared the winner and
will advance to the next Tournament of Champions, which is held between the most
recent 3 champions. Winners of the tournament will be honored in the Net Press
Your Luck Hall of Fame.
This game is for entertainment only. While no prizes will be awarded, I am
offering winners the opportunity to make a free trade with me.
