Rules of a Short Clip Contest

The Short Clip Contest is a General MIDI Tournament in where you compose a General MIDI (MIDI Format 0 or 1) music clip that is 30 seconds max in length. This also means that you can turn in a clip that is as short as 5 seconds in length. (the shortest clip I think I've seen win is one by BlueWarrior is the 2nd SCC vs ButzaW, in where he did a Newscaster one that was about 16-20 seconds in length, so the point of the contest is to get your point across I guess, not to get a full 30 seconds x_x)

Upon it's starting, you will be randomly placed vs an opponent;

Example:

PICTURE GOES HERE: You will compose to a picture that is placed here.
Musician 1 vs Musician 2
Limitation: Only compose using Acoustic Instruments (like Acoustic Guitar, Flute, Ocarina, Orchestral Instruments like String Ensemble 1, etc...) [No Whistle Allowed]

After everyone turns in their MIDI files to me via PM, the voting phase begins. In this phase everyone PMs me with 1 vote for each match. (Example: I vote for clip 2, 4, 5, and 7 ;p)

Votes are counted and the final results are placed up on the board. We then move to the next round of the tournament. This time around, like in SCC#7, I would also like to create a new thread for each round rather than one big thread. (I think it keeps it a bit interesting this way)

Extra Notes and Guidelines as I come up with them:

- All MIDIs must be GM only. That means no XG or special Banks, and remember that most people use the typical Microsoft SW Synth
- There will be a 'super secret special Christmasy twist to this edition of SCC'

I'm going to give you Orange Rocco x_x though if Horn joins he must take that color as it is tradition.

Thank god for phpbb3 this time around, there is more choice with color. ;p

And oh my god the characters in our avatars have the same expressions. :oops:

You can put me in, but if it gets full or ends up with an odd number of people, take me out. I should have time since my courses will be over for the semester, but things seem to come up quite frequently for me...

Is that that one thing that one time that Powerlord suggested I have (with the obsession with colors x_x) because if that's the case I most certainly do. :oops:

Awesome, great to see your still active around here. :-)

Though I should be saying the same for Rocco...When I was really ''active'' here I completely missed your posts.

Can we have some rules? I guess I should have waited for those before signing up :P but I guess it'll be fine, unless there's some really arbitrary things thrown in...
