 $$$$$$$$$$$$>--[ music compo ]-----------------[ the new wave ]--<$$$$$$$$$$$$

                [ compo : voting : rules : mailing : contact ]

 the trackering is divided into 2 weeks...
 
 [ week i - compo ][ tt ]
 
 the trackering is held on channel #tt, every second sunday -> sunday of
 every month at 01:00am cet / 07.00pm est. i - platon - will be offering a
 samplepack in one hour, if you get them i'll declare you as a contestant.
 if you weren't there in time, you can always get the samplepack from several
 distribution sites. ftp.hornet.org /pub/demos/incoming/music/tt is the main
 distribution site - and make sure you get the most recent pack. in the
 samplepack there is a file called deadline.txt, this shows the date and time
 when the deadline is.rightafter you get the pack you can begin tracking.
 
 i want all the tunes back before the following weekend, same time (01:00am
 cet /07:00pm est). i'll be on irc as platon (of course) at that time so you
 can just dcc them to me, or mail it to 'platon@online.no' with either
 uuencode or mime. this is just the deadline so you can send your tune to me
 during the week.
 
 
 
 [ week ii - voting ][ tt ]
 
 the vote-pack will be out (hopefully) 1-2 hours after the compo-deadline and
 the pack will be available on irc, ftp and on the tt homepage :
 
     ftp.hornet.org /pub/demos/incoming/music/tt/votepacks      [ main ftp ]
     ftp.arosnet.se /demo/musicdisk                             [ dist ftp ]
     home.sol.no/platon/tt                                      [ main www ]
 
 
 the filename you are looking for will be of the form tt##vote.zip - where ##
 is the number of the contest.
 
 everyone can judge the tt compo, but a contestant must judge it or he/she
 will be disqualified.
 
 the voting system is a scale from zero to nine. there will be a voteform
 included in the votepack, which is almost selfexplainatory :). if you need
 help on how to vote, then just mail me.
 
 the results will be out one week after the compo has ended. it will be
 distributed on irc and in the next sample- and votepack. you can also get it
 from the distribution sites (including the www sites).
 
 
 
 [ rules ][ tt ]
 
 here are the general rules that you must follow if you want to attend this
 contest. the formats which are allowed are :
 
     Impulse Tracker Module    [.IT ]
     Protracked Module         [.MOD]
     MultiTracker Module       [.MTM]
     ScreamTracker III Module  [.S3M]
     Extended Module           [.XM ]
 
 
 you may use a maximum of 32 channels in the module, and the module cannot
 exceed 150 kilobytes (153600 bytes) uncompressed/unpacked in filesize
 including the samples and pattern data. you have got one week in tracking
 time (from sun 01.00am cet), so you shouldn't complain about the time. also,
 you may not use any external samples - only the ones you got from the
 samplepack provided. and here are the rest of the rules...
 
     only one tune per composer.
     the tune may *not!*  be compressed with any modulecompressor to make it
      lower than 150k.
     you  can do  co-ops,  but  you have  to tell  me that  when  I  declare
      contestants.
     you have to judge the compo-tunes if you enter the compo.
     you have to either sent  it  via dcc or mailed me your entry before sun
      01:00am cet the week after.
     you may edit the samples in  the tracker in whatever way you want,  you
      may *not!*  copy the samples  and  make several  different instruments.
      (one sample,  one instrument).  you may *not!* use any external program
      to edit the samples.
     be sure to write  in  the  sample-text  what you did  to the sample you
      changed (that does not include sample-pitching).
     written your handle in the sample-text.
     if the competitor does not follow these rules,  then his module has the
      right to be disqualified.
     please delete the samples you dont use from the sample-pack.
 
 
 judging rules :
 
     anyone can judge the compo.
     you may *never!* vote for yourself.
     if a competitor doesn't vote, he will be disqualified.
