Csscgc 2012 is not a democracy. I reserve the right to change these rules at any time. Voting is for online ranking purposes only.

Entries must be crap. Regular games may be rejected from the compo, but still remain accessible from web site. Every basic game is considered crap by default.

Like older Crap Game Compo's, entries should run on ZX Spectrum (16K, 48K, 128K, +2, +2A, +3) and clones, ZX80, ZX81, Sinclair QL, Cambridge Z88, Jupiter Ace and Sam Coupé.

Entries should be submitted with submit-o-matic or by e-mail. You may submit your or one of your friend's game.

Entry format should be submitted in a proper format (generally a Snapshot, Tape or Disk format). If you are using submit o matic, all files must be zipped prior to uploading, also a screenshot of the game must be submitted with the zip file. (I may change your screenshot in order to tidy up the page design.)

By submitting games you agree to grant non-profit distrubution permission on them.  After the competition, the game will be uploaded onto the World of Specturm Archive and severeal others.

Multiple submissions from the same author are welcome.

Game submissions are potentially subject to public ridicule and/or various levels of criticism, so it's assumed that all entrants are at least prepared to accept this should it happen to you.

This year cgc uses a voting system. All registered users will be given a Poop, a Brain, a Heart and a Squij "Sweet Bella vote set". Users are expected to share them among games they may see fit.

30th Year Sqij Badge deadline is 23.April.2012 23:59. All entries submitted to this date will be eligible for winning "Best Sqij in 30th year" award. This sub-compo results will be announced 24.April.2012 and sqij sweet bellas will be disabled. All entries will continue participating crap game compo.

To become a winner you must create a crap game, similar to cascade50 tape games. A crap game is not a game with a bad idea, good ideas may also be ruined by bad design to create a true crap game.

To become a loser, you must create a crap game, similar to cascade50 tape games (but ultimately fail possibly because the idea or design is so good for a crap game).

The loser will receive the great honour of hosting CSSCGC2013. If loser rejects it, it will be asked to winner of the compo.

Csscgc 2012 main compo closing date is 11th January 2013, 23:55 Istanbul Time. Results will be posted in 20 january 2013 on thecomp.sys.sinclair newsgroup.
