- 2. Rules.
-
- * Each person can vote only once.
- * The contestants are allowed to vote; contestants are allowed to
- vote for themselves.
- * A valid votesheet should have all games rated. The exception is if a
- game does not work on your system. If this is the case, say so in the
- [comment] section. (Make sure to include your setup)
- * Rate each game from 1 to 10 points, where 10 points is the highest
- (best game) and 1 point is the lowest (game needs improvement)
- * The game with the most points after all the votes are tallied will win.
- The game with the second most points will be awarded second place, and
- so forth.
- * The [comments] section has no impact on the final outcome of the
- contest. They are 100% optional and are only there to encourage feedback
- with the author. Your comments will not be made public. They will be
- collected and sent back to the author at the end of the contest.
-
- (Important note: We have introduced a "penalty" system for games which were
- not completed on time for the deadline. The deadline was December 5th,
- 1999. Unfortunately, 1 game, MagiC Land, needed a short extension in order
- to finish. In order to be fair to the other Programmers, for each day late
- pipemania is, 1 point will be subtracted from that games total points. Do
- not let this influence your votes for this game)
