In my cups I have usually had only diplomas and stuff. I have had also small money prizes (like 20 euros) but I think they haven't affected in any way to the competition. Probably bigger prizes (like 1000 euros) would cause some effect but hard to say is it good or bad. At least any kind of cheating...

Thanks for explanation, jonsykkel. So it seems that the lower limit is actually 80.1 fps and it's just stupid to play with lower fps?

I like the constant fps idea also because it would make automatic levels possible (the bike acts same way every time when you are not pressing anything). Am i right?
