i hear some people were able to stop the skipping by using a tshirt ro soetmhing sorta rough to smooth down the scratch... i say you shoudl either find a new one or just dont use it if it keeps skipping. try rubbing the scratch area with some pressure and if that doesnt work then... i think your SOL sorry

don't use that record.
get it on a cd and play it from there - only if the competition don't restrict cd's usage.

your record is ed, buy a new one.

well this is from one of my buddies, the same happened to me but he told me to just get a new needle and tape a penny over the top of the cartridge. play the record and make sure your finger guides the needle in the groove. do it a few times and test it to see if it skips. make sure you guide or else the scratch will be the new groove and your screwed. i have yet to try it cuz i want to try it with a new cartridge. he said it should work unless its really bad.
