We're not the biggest fans of rules here at CompEngine, however, here are a few we all need to follow.
The Basics
- Only use performance footage of yourself.
- 3 minutes is the maximum duration for an entry.
- Each member can register for only one account.
- You must be 13 or older to enter.
- You may swap your video before the last day of the final round.
- 50 A Day Rule. Each day we can only process 50 new competitors per contest. You must try again the next day once we reach our daily limit.
- Doors open at 6:00 AM Pacific time. After your first video is accepted you are no longer bound by the 50 A Day Rule. Fire at will.
