Introduced in early computers with MS BASIC, Music Macro Language (MML) was a music script format for programing music in those machines. Its format became the basis not only for many of its contemporary sound drivers but also future chiptune tools with mck and beyond, maintaining a good degree of popularity in Japan to this day.
In the western chiptune community it saw a good degree of use in the 2000's as trackers like Famitracker were still on its first steps. As those became more fully-fledged and more options appeared, many switched over to them, but the format still sees popular use in Super Mario World romhacks with AddMusicK, and a small following in PMD, MGSDRV and PPMCK.
This battle is a celebration of that history and all drivers that make part of it.

might be a nice entryway for people looking to make their first mml tunes... my caveat is that if wildchip is used, it will be administratively difficult as you will get the inevitable person(s) not reading the competition rules and just submitting any old tune that isnt made from mml

this could potentially make for a cool plaintext major now that that's a format ... if perhaps audio renders were still suppliable for the format by then
