Not necessarly. This is to not make it unfair to pure basic coders.

It's very hard to get something good and fast in pure basic. Contra 83 took about 2 years to make. With xLIB it's easy to get something to look better than most asm stuff at ticalc.org. The only advantage ASM got over hybrid BASIC is speed and given that it's extremly hard to make ASM games, it will take more time too, so in the end, hybrid might still have some chances. While the ASM entries might be much faster, they might not necessarly contains as much features as the xLIB/Celtic III ones

We considered having 3 categories before, but we decided to merge hybrid programs with asm for financial reasons

one entry per category

This means you can submit one entry in the pure BASIC category and a second one in the hybrid/asm category

multiple entries in the same category would only reduce your chances of winning anyway, as all votes on yourself would be spread across all your entries instead of having a lot of votes on one single entry. I had this happening with ticalc.org POTY 2 years in a row x.x

Well the thing actually is that a contest is a contest, or competition. The goal is to showcase your programming skills, not other people's skills, to prove you can do the best game compared to other people.

Is cheating allowed? As noah suggested, I could totally grab a pending file and silently reject it while calling it my own for the contest...
