Judge rules, tips and guidelines:
- You cannot participate in the competition if you're judging
- You have to review all 5 levels, no exceptions.
- Be sure to criticize constructively, not destructively. Being blunt is allowed but being rude is not. Also if a level is made with serious effort, give it a serious review. You can obviously make jokes in the review of a serious level but they shouldn't overshadow the legitimate feedback.
- Your reviews should separate scores in the way of: (you may use decimals)
- Design & Gameplay - 0 to 10
- Creativity - 0 to 4
- Aesthetics - 0 to 2
- Formula: Design * (Creativity + Aesthetics + 4)
- Example: 6.5/10 Design, 2.5/4 Creativity, 1.5/2 Aesthetics -> 6.5 * (2.5 + 1.5 + 4) -> 6.5 * 8 = 52/100
- You don't have to calculate the score yourself but you must give the level a score in all 3 categories
- You have to review the levels using SMBX2 Beta 4
- Make sure you mention how occupied you are likely to be in the summer as that's when the judging period is likely to be
- If you are successfully hired as a contest judge, you won't really have a deadline set in stone to review the levels but you shall generally try to finish them as soon as conveniently possible while assuring they're still good reviews. Important note: the amount of submissions can't really be estimated, so don't be shocked if there are going to be a lot more submissions than previous contests in the past 4 years
