Judging
Judging is done by long-standing members of the established communities around the consoles. Any member with a current account (one which has posts around the time the competition was announced) is allowed to vote. Entries are scored by members selecting their top 4 picks, which form the basis of a game's rank, also across platforms.
The scoring system and results will be disclosed when the competition is over.
The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any votes, suspected to serve to skew the results toward one platform or game, or votes which are suspected of being from a fake profile. The organizers also reserve the right to alter the judging system, e.g. if there are:
- too few entries for a platform
- too few votes for a platform
- skewed quality between platforms
- to little correlation between platforms
- or other unforeseen circumstances
Furthermore organizers reserve the right to cancel the competition in the event of receiving less then three entries. Should the competition be canceled, all donations will be refunded minus any handling fee and currency conversion deviations.
