First sponsorship prize: 120 € shared
Sponsor: n_n from IRC
e-mail: IRC, no email
Description:
An encouragement prize for some MSX guys on IRC. Whoever from the list underneath joins MSXdev’10 and gets a score of at least 40% by the jury (or less than 40% and IMO underrated), will each get a share of €120. How the €120 is divided is up to n_n and will be decided at the contest conclusion, eg. if two people join and one gets 70% while the other gets 45%, the higher placed entry will get a bigger share. The only thing certain for now is that if only one person joins, he will get €120. If noone joins, noone gets the money.
The list:
- discomeats.
- FiXato.
- Quibus as Allosoft.
- TNI with BiFiMSX as main developer.
- Infinite with Wolf_ as main coder.
