_____Introduction
Here are answers to some of the frequently asked questions about the contest.
Please read this section thoroughly before sending e-mail.
_____Questions and Answers
Q: Can I change my song name after I register?
|
A: You may change your song name. Send in a new registration form with your
new song name. All other information must also be provided.
In the "Comments:" section of the form, list your old song name and your
old MC4 Song-ID (if one has been assigned to you). You must do this
before the entry registration deadline. If you already uploaded your
entry, we will not process your request.
Q: How many rookie/veteran entrants are there so far?
|
A: Not even the organizers will be sure of this until after the upload
deadline. Due to the setup of our entry system, an entrant can change
their mind on their desired category until just before uploading their
entry.
Q: Are co-op entries allowed?
|
A: Yes. However, any person involved in a co-op entry may not enter another
song.
Q: What do I need to know before I upload my song?
|
A: Everything you need to know will be e-mailed to you once you submit an
entry form. If you have not received a response by now, re-send your
form. Most forms are now being processed within one to two days of their
receipt.
Q: I just uploaded my entry, but I can't tell if it is all there!
|
A: For security purposes, the general public can not read the contents of the
incoming/MC4/rookie and incoming/MC4/veteran directories. We will verify
each song and move it to hornet/mc/mc4/rookie or hornet/mc/mc4/veteran as
soon as we begin file verifications.
If we find a problem with your upload, we will contact you. Otherwise,
watch for your song to appear in the appropriate directory.
Q: There's nothing in the rules about giving my song to others, is there?
|
A: Rule 8 states, "Entry may not be publicly released until final results are
posted." Technically, a release is any file which has an author
association. This means if you give your song to another person and tell
them it is yours, you have "released" your song.
Q: If I enter, do I have to judge?
|
A: While we encourage entrants to judge the contest, it is not a requirement.
Entrants who also judge are not allowed to vote on their own entries.
Q: How will I know what place I got if I don't make it to round 2?
|
A: Scores for Round 1 will not be released. This is for two reasons. First,
we want to protect those who did not place as well as they expected from
humiliation. Second, we need to protect the integrity of the Round 2
voting.
Q: Will there be an MC4 Audio CD?
|
A: We are still working out the details of this. At this time, it is likely
that there will be an MC4 audio/data CD.
