The quote thing doesn't seem to be working for some reason... so in response to OldManClayton:
First of all, the only way I was able to afford MMF2 was to use the money leftover from what my dad gave me to go to London with my high school orchestra. Second, I am a veteran from the TGF days, bought the home version, but all those games are either on a virus-ridden hard drive or my old computer, which I have yet to transfer the hard drive from.
Anyway, the one person doesn't have to do all of it, they refuse to do some things, maybe they only do music, sounds, and graphics so that the other one has to do all the programming or something. That way you can still just use TGF's graphics editor.
Now on to Bibin...
How old are you and how did you get this money for... what exactly did you do? Second, are you the same Bibin from the Sonic Retro forums?

Belfozormp Competition
BASICS:
Click to SURVIVE! Team up with a partner or fight solo in an epic quest for ultimate prizes and maybe even bragging rights(!)! Technical and graphical skills will be overshadowed by skills more oriented toward the enjoyment of the player, leveling the ground out for all game creators. Contest starts AUGUST 1ST! GOOD LUCK
HOW TO PLAY:
1.SIGN UP before August 1ST, 0:00GMT
2.You'll be paired up with another clicker via random selection, where then at that time you either both agree to work on the same team, or to duel 1vs1 against each other! At this time you'll also receive your deadlines and guidelines for the current round.
3.Following the guidelines, create a game! After completion, submit it before the deadline to my DC mail with a link to the game.
4.The group of judges will swiftly pass judgment on your games~
-If you did a 1v1 duel, then whichever clicker ended up with the highest score moves on to the next round with a win, and the other takes a loss.
-If you partnered up, then the team with the highest score moves on, and all the rest takes a loss.
5.If you have two losses, you will be dropped from the tournament
6.Repeat until there is ONLY ONE!
*Basically the judges extra points to spend on whoever bribes them miscellaneous categories such as charm.
**IS THE GAME FUN?
***Specified at the start of each round.
Additional Rules (for participants):
1.No additional help outside of yourself and your paired partner. Pretend you're in a closed arena with no internet.
2.Maximum file size is 5mb per game, including all and any DLL or external files needed.
3.The source code is not needed.
4.One entry from each competing person/group.
5.Bribing the judges is not allowed.
6.Games must be submitted before each deadline. If the deadline is missed, then the creator(s) get an automatic loss.
7.Rules subject to change until August 1ST.
8.A dedicated team of judges will be selected to judge the entries. The judges will not be able to participate in this competition.
9.There is no set deadlines currently as there is no real way to be sure how many rounds there will be. Expect about 5 rounds tops.
10.You do not have to start a new game at the start of each round. The game only has to follow the current rules and guidelines. It is suggested that you start a new game every round as your originality score will drop if the judge thinks it's appropriate.
11.Entries can be submitted to any site before the deadline. It is recommended you don't as your originality score will drop if the judge thinks it's appropriate or has seen the game before.
12.After choosing if you are teaming up with your paired partner, or facing them 1v1, you cannot change your mind, unless both agreed on.
13.If there is less than 4 competitors, then there can't be any teams.
14.KNP, TGF, CNC, MMF, TGF2 and MMF2 can be used.
15.In the event of an odd amount of people, a random person will receive an automatic win.
Prizes:
Coming soon.
Ask any other questions and I'll try my best to answer them as soon as possible.

Ok I'm still in after signing up, but due to the fact I'd get an ASBO in 10 seconds if I ever crossed the pond, I'll have to let out a fair warning that I'm really not up for teaming on anything and will duel my matchee
Lol, I hate competitions that judge using points. They tend to screw over the really nice games. I'd bet something like Knytt Stories would never win any of them. But at least you have marks for Appeal, that kinda covers it.
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
Tell me if I get this right:
So the teams are the same all the way through the tournament?
And if the same team wins twice, the tournament would be over because all the other teams would have two losses?
Would just be a shame for it all to be over within 2 weeks
It says that we enter until we have 2 losses, at which point we are dropped (and that everyone who doesn't win the week, is given a loss)
I think it would be much better to have it either:
1) Teams are put against each other. So team A against team B, the winner goes through. Very much like Joe.H's diagram
OR
2) Everyone goes through except the loser (which is the team with the lowest score). We do that until there is one remaining.
Doing where people are dropped out when they lose two times just seems a bit random to me, and it means the length of the tournament is quite short. It's like, if my team comes 2nd twice, then that is counted as 2 losses and so my team would be dropped. That just seems a bit silly to me..
