Quote from sumichu: Hi guys, quick update.



Mike has been working really hard on organizing things for AGDQ, and we've been told he needs to rest. We'll have games list done ASAP given this new development and will provide updates as they become available.



Registration will not open until the games list is finished, and runners will still have seven (7) days from the day it's released to register as an attendee.





UPDATE (10/15/2015):

Quote from sumichu:



To edit your entry, go to http://gamesdonequick.com/submission and click on the blue pencil next to your Twitch icon.



You will soon have the ability to edit your video, your run time and your availability if your run is Pending, Accepted, or Waitlisted.



So that Mike and the Games Committee don't have to go through a ton of games again, we're going to use the "Waitlist" status along with a comment to indicate that we're interested in your run if you can provide a video. Waitlisted runs that do not have a video may be rejected by gameslist time.



Please note that editing the VOD or Run Time of an "Accepted" submission will place it back in "Pending", and we may not accept it again. Make edits at your own risk and avoid editing your run for small changes to your PB.



Editing your availability will NOT revert your run back to "Pending."



"Rejected" runs can't be edited. If your game was declined and is not waitlisted, it is most likely for selection or game-related reasons that it was rejected and we will not be reconsidering it.



We will not be extending the submissions deadline.



As a reminder, inappropriate content (including troll videos, sexual, or offensive content) is subject to the Games Committee's discretion. If your submission or edits contain inappropriate text or videos, they may reject or block your submission and your ability to submit games to future events may be affected. If you aren't sure if what you're submitting is appropriate, you may want to leave it out. We understand if there are a few swear words here or there, but excessive amounts of swearing is generally inappropriate. We had a couple of discussions about submissions, and we've decided that we're going to allow edits for incorrect or missing VODs.You will soon have the ability to edit your video, your run time and your availability if your run is, orSo that Mike and the Games Committee don't have to go through a ton of games again, we're going to use the "" status along with a comment to indicate that we're interested in your run if you can provide a video.Please note that editing the VOD or Run Time of an "" submission will place it back in "", and we may not accept it again.

Quote from sumichu: Reminder: Once you submit your games, you can't add more games or edit any run info . Do NOT submit your games until you are ready to submit all of them.



We will not allow you to edit your runs after you hit submit.



Quote from Games Done Quick FAQ: Can I request for [specific person] to run [specific game] at a GDQ?



No. Running a game at a GDQ is on a volunteer basis. It is the responsibility of the speedrunner to offer their game(s) for each event. As there are many factors considered when constructing a GDQ schedule, we do not honor individual requests to have a specific game put into the schedule.





NOTE: Submissions are now CLOSED. Please read this post in its entirety. Submissions closed at 10/17, 8PM Eastern.

As we ramp up for AGDQ 2016 game submissions, we wanted to post this information for you early so that you can prepare. Please take the time to read this thoroughly prior to submitting a game.



Timeline

October 10, 2015 - AGDQ 2016 Submissions open

October 17, 2015 - AGDQ 2016 Submissions close

Runner Registration due 7 days after final game list is posted!***











Games List and Schedule to come later



In order to get submissions done in a much smaller timeframe than usual, we will be going through game selection while games are being submitted.



***

New Rule for AGDQ 2016:

With the implementation of an attendee cap, we've been experiencing issues with exceeding it by rather large amounts. After taking a look into it during AGDQ and SGDQ 2015, we found that a large part of this issue is that runners are waiting until they have arrived onsite to complete their attendee registration. In order to alleviate this, we will now require runners who have been accepted past the second round of cuts to register and pay 7 days after the posting of the final game list.



If a runner who has been accepted does not complete the registration process, their run(s) may be rejected and a different run will be accepted in its place.



Runners who have made it through to the final game list will be notified via their profile and email, and given 7 days to register.

***



Quote from sumichu: Cuts will be done before the 28th. I don't want to give a particular deadline for cuts to finish (we all know how that went last event ok), but we're aiming to give runners several days between cuts and the deadline. We'll be watching progress and move the date if we think we're cutting it too close for runners to commit.



We don't expect anyone to register before their run is accepted in the second round.



Quote from Cool Matty: You are able to get a full refund up to two weeks prior to the event, no questions asked (although if you're a runner, we would hope it would be for a good reason, otherwise why are you submitting?) You don't need to reserve your hotel room or anything else, so we don't think the cost of registration alone should be a hindrance to anyone. If it is, they can contact us and we can try to work something out.



In addition, you will not be required to register until after your game is confirmed to be in the event's final game list. You will have at least 7 full days to register and pay.







Submitting A Game for AGDQ 2016:



- Create an account on the

- Go to your





On the submission form, you will find the following fields:



Runner Information:



1. Stream URL (Twitch/Hitbox/etc) - Optional, but STRONGLY recommended

We need this to verify you are practicing your game. Note that if you provide a Twitch handle, we will display it during your run.



2. Twitter Handle - Optional

If you have one, we sometimes use this as an alternative contact method, and our live tweeters may tweet out your username during your run.



3. Availability - Required

You must provide accurate dates on when you are arriving and leaving the marathon. We use this for scheduling. If your dates change, you must update this information.



We will now be asking for both the day, and the hour you will be available for your run. We recommend giving yourself at least a 3 hour buffer from your flight’s arrival time to account for delays and the shuttle.



If you don't know your availability, write what dates you're currently planning to attend, and, as previously stated, you must update this as soon as you find out your actual dates.



We will do our best to accommodate people’s schedules for the event. However, the later you provide us with your availability, the more difficult it will be to work you into our schedule. If you have extremely tight availability, and are slow to update us on your status, we might be unable to keep you on the schedule.





Run Information:



***There is a limit of five (5) games per person, and ten (10) categories per person.***



1. Game Name - Required.

The full name of the game you are running.



2. Run Description - Required.

Maximum 450 characters. Be concise.



3. Game Console - Required.

The system you will be playing on. PC, N64, etc.



4. Categories - Required

You may add up to 5 categories per game, up to your overall submission limit of 10. This means you could have two games with 5 categories, or 5 games with 2 categories each. Every game submitted must have at least one category.



4a. Category Name - Required

There is a 40 character limit.



4b. Category Estimate - Required

Do NOT include setup time. Do NOT put down your personal best time. Provide a "real time attack"-style time that starts from console power to last input, and make sure you account for mistakes. When practicing, use marathon-safe strategies, and base your estimates off of that. Do not forget to factor in RNG. Remember, use real time, not in-game time.



4c. Category Run Video - Optional, but strongly recommended

Provide a URL to a full, complete run of this category played by you. Production values are not important, as long as we can see what is going on. Twitch highlights, YouTube links, and equivalent are acceptable.



NOTE: Review all of your information prior to submitting. We do not allow you to edit your run information.



You will receive notifications if your submission status changes, and if you are selected for the final game list. Your profile will always have the most up to date information, but we will also send you an email. Keep in mind that there are two rounds of elimination. If you are selected to pass the first round, you are not guaranteed to be in the marathon, as it may be rejected in the second round. Your submission information is carried over from start (eliminations) to end (scheduling).



Run Statuses:

Progress:

This means the game is accepted for whichever round of cuts is currently in effect. You may be progressed in the first round but rejected the next.



Accept:

Your game has been accepted.



Reject:

Sorry, your game didn't make it.



Bonus:

Not for bonus stream! A bonus game is not guaranteed because if we're running way behind schedule, we might nuke it. Alternatively, your game may be a donation incentive.



Waitlist:

This status is rare, but it means although you haven’t been scheduled, you may be soon. Typically if runs must be cut from the schedule, runs with this status will replace them first.



If you submit your game, we'll assume that you have read this post in its entirety.
