First, all teams must register in the announcement thread in the forums. Registration will be open for the first four weeks of the competition.

Judging
  • Judging will be based on the puzzles suitability for inclusion in the Puzzle Pirates world as a crafting puzzles. This includes elements such as increased difficulty leading to increased scoring potential. There will be three seperate prize categories. They will be best overall, best idea and best execution. Best idea will simply judge the ideas of the puzzles without regard to how succsefully they were executed in code. Best Execution will judged based on how cleanly coded an entry is with the actual idea as a minor point. Best overall will be awarded to the idea that best combines these two categories. Best Overall , Second Best Overall , Best Idea , and Best Execution will be the possible winning placements. It may be possible that non-winning teams will recieve honorable mentions and trinkets depending on OM support.

OM Assistance
  • OM assitance should largely be limited to providing prize support. It would be helpful if the Developers could comment on how players should structure their code so that it is easy for them to integrate into the Puzzle Pirates world. Also, if the Developers see any legal problems with using puzzles from this contest in the game it might be necessary to have entrants sign a release form.
