here are the rules :
It's everyone's favorite time of the year! Once again, to celebrate the birthday of the SEGA Saturn, I am holding an extended game competition.
The competition will start on September 1st, 2020. Anyone can enter their SEGA Saturn game into the competition. Games can be enetered into either the Original Game category or Hacks, Patches, and Translations category. Even if this is a longer term project, if you have made significant progress on it in 2020, it can be entered.
You can enter as many games as you want, (as long as they are substantially different.) Final disc images (bin/cue) should be uploaded and/or linked to the contest thread by 12 PM UTC (7 AM EST) January 1st, 2021.
Judges from the online SEGA Saturn community will score games in each category by ranking based on personal preference by January 15th, 2021. Ranks will be added as scores, with the lowest scores being higher ranked. Ties will share their rankings (and potential prizes.) Final rankings will be announced on a live stream on January 16th, 2021. An example of how games are scored is below.
Judge A Rankings Judge B Rankings Judge C Rankings
1 Game 1 Game 1 Game 2
2 Game 2 Game 2 Game 4
3 Game 4 Game 3 Game 3
4 Game 3 Game 4 Game 1
The rankings are tabulated into scores.
Game Score
Game 1 1+1+4=6
Game 2 2+2+1=5
Game 3 4+3+3=10
Game 4 3+4+2=9
And the scores determine final ranking.
