We will have 24 formats in this battle, one for each day!
The bitpacks and formats will change at midnight (PST Timezone), so make sure to always check this battle once a new day starts.
Submitting late will most likely mean you are submitting to the wrong format so please don't do that! :D
This is actually the third Advent Calendar on BotB, but it's the first one that is hosted as a major battle. You can read more about this series here.
A complete bitpack, containing all 24 sub-bitpacks, can be found below!
This is basically a timezone-friendly XHB :D
What I mean by this, is that the average time you should put into an entry is 1 to 4 hours. I can't stop you from working a lot longer on your track of course, but don't think you're forced to do this. The usual XHB-rule applies: Your entry should be done within the day, please don't submit tracks you finished earlier.
SCHEDULE
- hot chocolate • decorativity • candlelight • surpriseness • advent pants
- Follow the bit pack and format rules, that change every day
- Don't submit tracks you finished earlier (before the battle)
- All registered users of BotB may vote.
- All tunes will be rendered to MP3 for voting accessibility.
- No covers allowed, only original works.
- Entries that have been previously publicly released are not allowed.
- While generative processes are permitted if designed by the entrant, they should never be used as a substitute for putting real human effort into your entries on BotB.
- For direct communication join us on IRC!! irc.esper.net #botb :D/
