less limitations = more people likely to enter

If LL levels are allowed I'm definitely joining

You mean like, have both SM63 and LL levels in the same contest?

Dunno how well that would go, but it's worth a shot, I guess.

There's not really a technical issue with allowing both LL and SM63 entries for the same contest as long as we just do that subjective opinion-based poll rating system (which I think is what we were leaning to?) but I'm obligated to mention that the two games are wildly different and as far as objective superiority goes, one is very clearly better.

I voted no because everyone's going to feel obligated to make an LL entry to stay competitive, and LL contests have never been successful around these parts (and also a little because I personally think it's dumb to get into an LL scene that'll radically change when the next installment comes out who knows when).

Just my two cents.

Yeah I voted yes to give everyone an Avenue but the bias towards one Avenue over the other is there. SM63 doesn't have the capabilities LL has but imo it's also easier to use. And people shouldn't experience unconscious bias depending on the Avenue they use

I'm leaning towards allowing both. Now all we need is a starting date.

I intend to give a deadline of maximum 7 weeks. 7 or 6. I originally wanted to just do 4 but I was convinced otherwise. :P I'm not a fan of overly long times or extensions. Extensions would only be handed out in extreme circumstances.

What do you guys think?

7 weeks
for those who don't have a lot of time doing SM63, it's still short
