| Groupees Vektor Wars Tournament | 2016-02-23 | https://groupees.com/tournaments/vw Still has 5 days less then a day to run Note: Vektor Wars should post the current score in most modes when you exit the game via the pause menu. A game mode posts the score if it shows the score screen when exiting. Check the Tournament rules about existing scores. It may be worth creating another steam account if you already have a very high score. Have Fun Steve |
