For accuracy, give the rule this wording
"Projects started before this contest (July 24) are not valid"
That way people who have been working on their project for months can't submit.
Also make the contest last 1-2 weeks. No one has the patience for 2 months.

People might not finish their projects. Not everyone can make a good project in a short time.

I have changed it to 1 month just for the sake of the collaborative project and I keep on getting a lot of complaints about the deadline and time frame of making stuff.

Maybe you should make the overall and best game due in a month, but the rest due in 1 or 2 weeks.

I don't know about that. Some people have asked me to make changes and some teams like have no projects to enter because of the new rule and people need all the time that they can get.

[img]http://mrbarlow.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/olympic_rings.png[/img] Olympics home: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=19848 RULES: 1. There will be as many teams as possible. Each team can have UP TO five members. 2. They will be several categories that your teams HAVE to participate or you will lost points. The categories are best game, best animation/art, best educational project, best overall project, and best collaborative. 3. At least one person in your team has to enter in an event or points will be deducted. You can have up to 5 people in one event if you want to. 4. Every event will be a total of 100 points split up between all the places. The number of points you will get will depend on your place and the number of people in the contest. 5. You will get to choose your teammates that you have. One person will be the captain and every event you will have to have a co-captain. Choose your teammates wisely so you have a well balanced team and you cannot change members. 6. They will be single person medals along with team medals and awards(just like the olympics). 7. The deadline for you to get your teams in is on July 29(my birthday!!!). You will have 1-2 months to make any projects that will be entered and to make the the collaborative project. 8.I have made some more rules!!! Each category will take around 4 days to judge. There will be 3 rounds. One round will be judged a day. Once the round is over, your team can go back and then modify/ change the projects or project you entered. Also when you tell me your team tell me the country and the teams name!!!
