    General compo rules

    1. First and foremost: we are hosting these compos because we love you, so if you have any questions, ideas or thoughts - drop us an e-mail.
    2. You probably need to bring your own hardware if your executable is not running on a standard Windows PC, or a Mac running the latest version of OS X. Of course, there is such a thing as emulators ... - Alternatively, bring a recording!
    3. If there are not at least 3 entries in a compo, we will (possibly) cancel the compo / merge it with another compo. We'll figure this out with the contributors at the party.
    4. Remote submissions are allowed, however we don't accept entries from The Bits Club, BITS or The Beasts Crew.
    5. Preselection may happen, if there are many entries in a given compo (especially the music compos). Material that is not preselected won't be spread after the party.
    6. Include screen resolution options for realtime entries that are not intros. Include different executables with different resolutions for intros.
    7. This is a guideline list of compos, we reserve the right to announce, cancel and merge compos if needed. Participants will be asked (if possible) prior to merging or cancelling compos.
