High scores table without name repeat

Question

Hello there,
I have some code which fills a high scores table.. we've decided to give away a prize to the top ten people in the high scores table.. the problem is that people are playing repeatedly and fillnig the high scores table with their name, this makes it unfair to other players as they can't manage to get onto the table !!
Is there a way I can modify my code to ignore the same name should it appear and skip to the next non repeated name(pseudo) and score ??
My text boxes are called pseudo1 - pseudo10 and score1 - score10
Many thanks in advance for your help below is my code :-
for (var p:uint = 1; p <= 10; p++) {
          var currentPseudo:String = "pseudo" + p;
          var currentScore:String = "score" + p;
          if (event.target.data["pseudo" + p]) {
               highScoresPage[currentPseudo].appendText(event.target.data["pseudo"+p]);
          if (event.target.data["score" + p]) {
               highScoresPage[currentScore].appendText(event.target.data["score"+p] + " points"/*/1000 + "s"*/);
          } else {
               highScoresPage[currentPseudo].appendText(" \n");
               highScoresPage[currentScore].appendText(" \n");

I find using Dictionary class for filtering unique names very useful. The code below shows that. Note how array is sorted in descending order:
var scores:Array = [];
scores.push( { name: "Peter Smith", score: 32 } );
scores.push( { name: "Amanda Smith", score: 112 } );
scores.push( { name: "Peter Smith", score: 23 } );
scores.push( { name: "Jerry Pak", score: 45 } );
scores.push( { name: "Peter Smith", score: 80 } );
scores.push( { name: "Martin", score: 78 } );
scores.push( { name: "Andrei", score: 99 } );
scores.push( { name: "Andrei", score: 65 } );
scores.push( { name: "Martin", score: 76 } );
scores.push( { name: "Amanda", score: 10 } );
scores.push( { name: "Peter Smith", score: 73 } );
// this sorting assures that only highest score for the same name will be presented
// default sort is ascending
scores.sortOn("score", Array.NUMERIC);
var uniquePlayers:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
// this creates unqie entries
for each(var obj:Object in scores) {
     // each element is entered only once
     uniquePlayers[obj.name] = obj;
// reset array
scores = [];
// populate with unique names
for (var key:String in uniquePlayers) {
     scores.push(uniquePlayers[key]);
scores.sortOn("score", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
for each(obj in scores) {
     trace(obj.name, obj.score);
