Event id #2636 : Crack Intro Music Competition 2017

After the geat success in 2013, the time has come for another Crack Intro Music Competition!

Several people have asked for it and finally it happens.

This time I have a skilled co-organizer with Jammer.

Competition runs from September 29, 2017, until October 29, 2017. So you have a full month to deliver your creations.

Please use this thread for questions, discussion and everything else concerning this competition.

THE RULES (same as in 2013, worked very well):
- max. playtime 1:00 min. (PAL playing speed), then repeat or fade.
- max. size: $1000 bytes (preferably located in memory at $1000-$2000)
- single speed only
- no SID model preference (should sound good on all SID models)
- must be handed in as executable format .sid or .prg (might be embedded in .t64 or .d64)
- no graphics or even intro-like presentation is allowed to be included.
- Productions using the music might be released after the voting deadline. The voting should be focused on the music itself.
- the participating musics may not have been released or used in a public production before.
- multiple entries per musician allowed.

Deadline for entry submission is October 29, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
Voting closes one week later at November 6, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
Voting platform is CSDb (with all disadvantages it may have), therefore entries have to be posted here.
Entries will be ranked by weighted average of CSDb votes. Entries with the same weighted average are ranked by their percentages of 10s, 9s, etc.

No prices to win, just the fame. May the best creation win!

100 votes? Yay. I think the number of entries need to be a bit lower for that. For instance by increasing the max play time to 2 minutes, so we have half the amount of entries <-
hardcore number cracking.

Using CSDb for the votes has been criticised a lot in the past, but it turned out to be the best and easiest alternative. You click the entry, listen to the music, just vote for it and go ahead. Most people are too lazy to get into a separate voting system, send messages or email or whatever. Past showed that intended downvotes had no big influence on the result of the compos I organized by reaching about 30 votes per entry. That is not much to achieve. So let's go for it...

Downvoters are often anonymous. Only count the public votes. Problem solved.

- Winner Award by/with amount of public votes only
- Winner Award by/with amount of hidden votes only
- Winner Award by/with amount of votes
- Winner Award by/with most downloads
- Winner Award by/with number of comments

... =:-]
