- - - - - - - OPENING WORDS - - - - - - -
Again the time for the biggest summer demo party is closing fast! If great competitions, drinking a LOT of Coke, spending sleepless nights, making great deals with some computer companies, meeting all your friends on the scene and having a great time is what you're after, you just can't miss Asm'94!
This time the party will be held in the very center of Helsinki, the capital of Finland, from the 5th to the 7th of August. There will be competitions for Amiga and PC, and thanks to our many sponsors, the prizes will be amazing!
This textfile is just a kind of a preliminary information package for the people on the scene. We will release another invitation intro later in which the final information about all the rules, etc. will be included.
Anyway, just keep on reading to see what we have to offer!
- - - - - - - COMPETITIONS - - - - - - -
As this text file is just the preliminary info, there might be some changes to the final competition rules. The organizers reserve the right to make any changes to the competition rules, and to disqualify any entry if it is not suitable to attend the competitions for some reason.
All competitors have to be present at the party place in order to attend the competitions and to receive the possible prizes (or at least one of the authors of a competing piece of art).
In the graphics competition on both Amiga and PC, and also in the 4kb intro competition on PC, the competition version of the entry must not display the author's name in any way. This is to prevent the author's name from affecting the vote. After the announcement of the results, the versions which are spread can include the author's signature. In the music competition on both Amiga and PC, we will not show the author's name while we play the song in the competition.
"Maximum running length" below is only the amount of time we will show a particular piece of art on the big screen.
The demos/intros will have to run without ANY user interaction once started.
THE VOTING SYSTEM:
We will use a disk voting system. Once you enter the party place, you will be given the voting disk, which will include the voting program. It's not certain yet if the disks will be dual-format (both Amiga&PC compatible) or if we are going to have separate Amiga and PC compatible voting disks.
You will be able to give your opinion on The Five Best in all compe- titions, both on the Amiga and PC.
But before you can give your opinion, a jury composed of known scene people (maybe even you!) will select a certain (yet unknown) amount of entries in each competition to the finals (to be shown on the big screen).
We will give more details about the voting system in the next invi- tation intro.
PC COMPETITION RULES:
The competition machine we will use:
- i486DX2/66 with 4 MB of RAM - MS-DOS 6.20 - Tseng Labs ET-4000/w32 Local Bus VGA card - 1 MB Gravis UltraSound sound card or original Sound Blaster Pro 2.0
If your demo supports some other sound card, bring it with you.
If your demo/intro requires a memory manager, it would be suitable if it worked under either MS-DOS 6.20's HIMEM alone, HIMEM+EMM386 or under QEMM v7.03. Otherwise bring all necessary memory managers and a boot disk with you (the demo/intro will still be loaded from hard disk).
All intros (64kb & 4kb), pictures and songs will be spread at the party place after the announcement of the results. In the demo competition we will give exactly ONE MONTH of time for the demo groups to finish and release their demos, otherwise we will release the competition version of the demo.

The actual prizes may be software, hardware or pure cash. This depends on our sponsors and how many people pay the entrance fee. The following list includes only the US dollar values of each prize.

Abduction'97 - The Cow Strikes Back
A Silly Little Infofile, Stardate 20039.7
Version 1.00
Hello there you all little wanna-be-abductees!
Here's a silly little infofile for all of you. Its purpose is to spread in- formation (especially among the Amiga people as there is no pre-invitation intro for Amiga (for certain reasons - we're sorry)). You just have to deal with this text until the final invitation intro (and the final invitation text) will be released in a month or two. Stay looney-tuned.
Abduction?!?:
A demoparty. Quite a big demoparty actually. Bigger than an eating cow. Or a pack of eating cows. Lotsa Amiga and PC abductees. Last year ~500. This year even more. Held annually. Since 1994. In Oulu, Finland. On the second weekend of June. Like always. Good entertainment for all of you. Very fun indeed. Great features. As always. Trust us. Trust Abduction Organizing.
Date & time: 6-8th of June, 1997. The doors will open at 10:00 on Fri- day and close at 12:00 on Sunday. The detailed schedule will be included in the final invitation text.
Place: Oulun urheilutalo in Oulu, Finland.
Entrance fee: 100FIM (~20USD). Girls, foreigners and senior citizens :) get in for free!
Features: The usual: lotsa room, lotsa electricity, lotsa tables, lotsa chairs, lotsa quiet sleeping places, lotsa competi- tions for PC and Amiga, lotsa high-tech PA stuff, lotsa real-time-voting, lotsa coke and junk-food for sale, lot- sa just about everything. Read lotsa more from the final invitation.
The usual:
- absolutely no alchol, drugs, smoking, vandalism or piracy inside the partyplace (sex is allowed, though)
- you are not allowed to sell hardware, software or food without getting a permission from the organizers
- you are legally responsible for your actions - you break it, you pay for it
- the organizers have a right to remove a person from the partyplace and not to let him (or her) in again if the person has broken any of these rules or any Finnish or international laws
- the organizers are pretty almighty
Competitions:
We have made a decision to increase the number of competitions. At least the following competitions will be held for sure: Amiga demo and intro, PC demo and intro, music, graphics, raytracing and wild. Read the final invitation to find out if there will be even more competitions (not that likely, though).
We have to say that last year we were a little disappointed at the qua- lity of Amiga demo competition (with a few exceptions of course). Put a little more effort on your productions and we promise that you will be rewarded. Trust us. Trust Abduction Organizing.
The organizers will choose the jury members and the juries choose which productions will be seen and heard in the finals. The number of shown/ played entries will be 15-20 (or less if the quality or quantity of pro- ductions is low). And, please, don't run away when the jury members are being selected.
By entering any competition at Abduction'97 you give us a permit to pub- lish your entry on CD-ROM. Top 3 in every category will receive royal- ties if the CD-ROM project will become reality. For the very same reason all filenames must be ISO-9660 standard compliant (only 8+3 characters and no special characters). The very same rule applies also to producti- ons made on Amiga.
In demo, intro and wild competitions at least one of the authors must be present at the partyplace. In music, graphics and raytracing competiti- ons all the authors must be present at the partyplace.
The prizes are good.
The competition machines are:
Intel Pentium 150MHz
- MS-DOS 7.0
- 16MB RAM
- GUS Max 1MB (SB Pro will be installed when (/if) needed)
- 2MB VRAM PCI (S3) video card
The competition machine has 580000 bytes of free conventional me- mory and it has many configurations (you choose one when submit- ting your entry).
A1200/060
- Blizzard 1260 - 68060/50MHz
- AmigaOS 3.1
- 2MB chip RAM + 16 MB fast RAM
And here are the rules which may still change (not radically, though):
PC demo
- the maximum size of demo in an executable form is 4096 kilobytes
- VESA 2.0 modes are allowed, but 100% VGA register compatible vi- deo mode(s) must be supported

- any format supported by the most often used viewers will do

Wild
- productions don't have to be video clips and they don't have to be submitted on VHS cassettes (but if they are, they have to be in PAL format; cassettes will be returned)
- we don't supply the hardware (other than the VCR) for you... You have to bring your own computers, synthesizers and whatever you may need (we may be able to help you, though, so ask)
- your production must not contain copyrighted or illegal material (as said before, both international and Finnish laws do apply at the partyplace)
- only one production from one group or person
Minor changes are possible and we are entitled to make them (if found absolutely necessary or so).
Special features:
Information about the special competitions will be released on our home- page (http://dot.tcm.hut.fi/abduction/ that is) and on the final invita- tion. At least a Sony Playstation competition will be held.
The Leningrad Cowboys And The Alexandrov Red Army Chorus And Dance En- semble will throw a gig in Oulu on Friday the 6th! No competitions will be held during the concert (that's a promise), so go there and have some fun! Oulun lippupalvelu sells 20000 tickets to the happening - give them a call ASAP (08-3147200). The only downside is that the tickets are *uc- king expensive - 200FIM.
Wanted - your chance to be an organizer:
We need a few people to take care of certain things like walking around around the party place with (video) cameras and filming things, running special competitions etc. It would be great if you were able to use your own hardware - we'll pay the expenses (films, cassettes, etc). Contact us.

D E M O L I T I O N ] I [
JOENSUU, 3-5 Oct 1997 <
Version : This is first preliminary information file.
Date & Place :
Demolition will be again held in the Joensuun Kauppaoppilaitos. It is the same place than last time, it can hold about 200 people with some computer and hifi equipment. Date will be friday 03-10-97 and doors will open at 2000.
Entrance fee : 100 Fim, girls and foreigners free.
Boozing :
Yes, we know, boozing is the (best?) part of the parties and we will follow the sema politics as last time. We won't confiscate your booze unless you drink it inside. We know that all of you don't have a car so you can have your booze fi. in your bag. Note! All confiscated booze will be most likely consumed by organizers! Let's just hope for perfect weather for having fun.
Be sure that you will be thrown out if we will catch you smoking inside.
Projector :
Video projector will be the same than last time. Amiga will be connected via tv-modulator and PC will use direct RGB input. Do note that you shouldn't use tricky screen modes since projector doesn't show 50hz modes (pc case of course). If you want to use it make it optional. You may test your product before competition. Also PA will be most likely the same as last time.
Also, there might be separate projector for displaying information.
Competitions :
Again, we will have combined compos with Amiga and PC. Those will be naturally demo, intro, music and graphics ones. There will be also fast compos and those are combined as well. Preliminary schedule :
Fr
2300 music and graphics deadline
0100 graphics competition
0130 music competition
Sa
2000 demo and intro deadline
0000 intro competition
0100 demo competition
Su
0400 voting deadline
0600 results and reruns.
Final schedule with much more events you will see at the party place.
Machines :
Competition machines haven't been chosen yet but most likely we are going to use same 060/50MHz as last time.
PC will be Pentium based machine. We will try to arrange computer with three possibilities of operating system. You can use MS-Dos, Win95 or Linux. In MS-Dos we will use clean boot, which in this case means himem.sys and Scitech Display Doctor. If you want to compete with Linux version you must contact organizers first.
Dos4GW extender is in the path so if you are coding an intro you can make effects with that space which you would lose because of extender. In Linux and Win95 cases you should make your product work also in other color depths than 8bit.
Democompo :
These are the general rules for demo competition.
- Maximum file size is four megabytes. Demo may be also pure animation file with sound but I guess you can't do much in four megabytes.
- If demo is just an animation it has to be in executable form.
- Demo must work with eight megabytes of ram but it may take advantage of more memory.
- It must not write anything to harddisk nor any other media.
- PC demos must work also without soundcard.
- Please note projector limits mentioned before. PC max resulution is 640x480 and Amiga max resulution is 640x512.
Introcompo :
These are the general rules for intro competition.
- Same rules as in demo competition but maximum file size for compo version is 80 kilobytes.
- Release version can be larger and it must work without sound.
Graphics :
Maximum resolution will be 640x512 with 256 colors. Amiga pictures will be shown with Amiga and PC pictures will be shown with Compushow unless you want to use other viewer. Please bring that viewer with you.
Do note that this is not a scanning competition. We do our best in disqualifying scanned pictures but as you might know it is very hard. Also, this is not a rendering compo either.
That is why we demand three phases of you picture. One from the sketch, one from the middle and final picture of course. Final picture MUST NOT have signature. You can deliver different picture with your signature.
You may scan a picture of your own but then you have to deliver that paper copy as a one phase. Your paper copy will be returned if you want it back.
Even if this won't make scanmen life impossible it will make it at least little bit harder!
Music :
Maximum of 32 channels are accepted. File size maximum is one megabyte. All contributions must be delivered on PC formatted disk and we will play modules with Cubic player. If you aren't satisfied with Cubic Players sound we also have the newest versions of some other players. Feel free to bring your own player.
Jury :
There will be a different juries for all the competitions. All juries compose of two organizers and three randomly chosen Demolition visitors.
Naturally jury can disqualify any product if it is racistic, shitty, previously released or violating any copyrights. In music competition it is jurys opinion. Everyone can't be happy or do you wan't to listen all those tunes? I don't think so.
Organizers will decide whether they call juries up. Jury will be called at least in music competition.
Prizes :
We don't promise you any figures. All the money left over after expenses will be given as prizes.

!! NOTE, ALL THE DAMAGES CAUSED FOR THE PLACE WILL !!
!! REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE WILL PAY AS PRIZES !!
!! PRIZES ARE PAID AFTERWARDS ANYWAY !!
Spreading :
All the productions will be released at the party place. All the products will be uploaded to Manowar BBS and to somewhere in internet. Do note that we can't guarantee that productions will be available next day. Do note that we don't take any responsibility about spreading your product. If you want to be sure that your product goes around the world spread it by yourself.
Other :
We will show some nice movies and old demonstrations on big screen. If you have any movies you would like to see in big screen bring it with you. We have time for from two to four movies. If you happen to have video demos and/or wild demos on tape we can show them too.
Cafe :
Like last time there will be at least a little cafe selling various stuff. We are also organizing pizza orders.
How to find :
If you come by bus or train just watch the map included in invitation package. There is also maps in stations and stations aren't that far away from Kauppaoppilaitos unless you have much equipment. Then I would recommend you to take a taxi, it won't cost much. Don't walk over the river if you want to party place from stations. If you come by car it is quite easy to find it even without map. If you come from north to Joensuu (Kuopio, Jyv└skyl└, Kajaani) then just follow signs for Lappeenranta. When you drive over a river (rather large, can't miss it) just wait for next traffic lights and turn to right. Then just drive a little bit more and follow the signs of Ammatti Instituutti (formerly known as kauppaoppilaitos ;) If you come again to traffic lights then it is time to make u-turn.
If you come from south to Joensuu (Anything via Lappeenranta) just turn left in the first lights in Joensuu and then follow the signs of Ammatti Instituutti. If you come again to traffic lights then it is time to make u-turn.

ZOO'97 invitaatiofaili
Okei 8-bittiset, vihdoinkin joillan on kanttia jДrjestДД C64 (only!) partyt Suomessa. Ideana on kerДtД C64scene kokoon nДin lamakautena ja todistaa ettД vielД se vanhakin potkii.
TДmД ei ole siis mitДn kuolleen konin raiskausta.
Kutsumme pДДsiassa tyyppejД seuraavista gruupeista: Extend, Byterapers, Topaz, Panic, Beyond Force, Palace, Atlantis, Origo, Sharks, Alpha Design + unohdetut...
Yleisen viihtyvyyden kannalta rajoitamme kaikenlaisen roskaporukan sisДДnpДДsyД ;)
Tapahtumapaikkana toimii Pori. Tarkemmin sanottuna VДhДrauman alueen tyЖvДentalo. Tapahtuma-aika on 21.11. - 23.11. 1997 ( perjantai, lauantai ja sunnuntai )
Partypaikan osoite on Kapraantie 9. MaamerkkinД voisi mainita vieressД olevan jalkapallokentДn.
Pori lЖytyy Turusta jotain 100 kilsaa ylЖspДin rannikkoa pitkin.
Partypaikka sijaitsee noin 4 km pДДssД keskustasta, ja linja-autot kulkevat tiuhaan tahtiin (tunnin vДlein) keskustasta vДhДraumalle. Paikallisliikenteen linja-autovuorot numeroilla 3,7,31 ja 2.
Idioottivarma ohje keskustasta tapahtumapaikalle: Mikonkatun-Vapaudenkadun silta-Maantiekatu-VДhДraumantie-Nupurintie ja 'voila! siinД se on!
sekavaa? osta kartta.
MITEN PддSEN "MUKAVIEN IHMISTEN MAINIOON PORIIN" ?-)
- autolla. osta kartta.
- junalla. hki-tre-pori.
- kДsillД kДvellen (koitappas)
- linja-autotkin kulkee

Varsinaisia nukkumatiloja ei ole, mutta nukkumatilaa lЖytyy kakkoshuoneesta. Kompoja katsellaan juhlasalissa.

The happening occupies the first weekend of June starting on Friday, 5th of June and ending on Sunday, 7th of June thus lasting for three sunny days. The detailed schedule is later in this text file.
This annual happening is held for the fifth consecutive time, so it can be said that Abduction parties have became an important part of today's demoscene in Finland. We hope this will be a thing to last and thereby invite you all to attend this weekend of pure entertainment. Bring your PC, Amiga, C64, SGI/SUN/Cray workstation or VIC-20, the spirit of belonging together is truly more important than the hardware you are using.
The party building is a comfortable sports center. It's main hall combined with the open space between the hall and the second floor cafeteria can easily hold 500 visitors and more. There are seats on both sides of the main hall where you can rest, meet your friends or get an unique view over the party hall. Or if you are more on the outdoor mood, we have these huge grass fields next to the building. A thing lot of people were happy about last year.
We will arrange traditional demo and intro competitions for PC and Amiga groups to attend. Artistic competitions for skilled composers, pixel artists and 3D modellers are in schedule as well. These and the spectacular Wild! competition are open to everyone regardless of the platform the contributions were made on. There will be a powerful PA system set up and all the finalists will be shown using it and the *huge* big screen. For more information about the competitions read the rules later in this text file.
Entrance fee is 120 FIM (~22 USD) for the whole weekend. Girls, foreigners and senior citizens get in for free! Foreigners: please bring your passport or some other id to prove your nationality.
Abduction'98 is organized by Abduction Organizing ry which is a non-profit organization dedicated to work for the scene. None of us will get paid for what we are doing. By supporting Abduction'98 you're keeping the scene alive, not paying anyone's holiday trip to the Bahamas :)
Party Facilities
----------------
- Great place with lot of room, electricity for everyone, tables where to put your stuff, showers and quiet sleeping hall in the ground floor
- Superb PA system with loudspeakers all around the main hall, not just in front of it
- Big screen showing information services, competitions and favourite demos on multiple platforms -- all around the clock
- Cafeteria / snack bar open 24 hours a day

- Special competitions on Saturday afternoon
- Perhaps even live music
- Much much more
Rules to Remember
-----------------
These rules are not to bother you but to ensure the happiness of other people too. Visitors breaking any of these rules will be warned or removed from the party place when needed. Finnish and international laws do apply in Oulu as well , so we can call the cops to pick you up :)
1. Absolutely *no* alcohol, drugs, smoking, vandalism or software piracy inside the party building.
2. You are not allowed to sell hardware, software, food or something else without getting a permission from the organizers.
3. You are legally responsible for your actions and their consequences: you pay what you break.
4. The organizers have the right to remove a person from the party place and not let him (or her) in again if this person has broken any of these rules, Finnish or international laws.
5. The organizers of Abduction'98 have the right to add, modify or otherwise change these rules.
6. You as a visitor acknowledge these rules and promise to have a fun filled weekend!
Competitions
------------
Want to make money fast and legally? By contributing to one of the many competitions we are offering you get the chance to win! Prizes are mainly cash (paid after the party) but there might be some cool hardware prizes as well. All the profit from ticket sales will be used as prizes; thus the more visitors we have, the better the prizes will be.
Every visitor will get a PC-formatted diskette with voting programs for both PC and Amiga. With these programs you can vote for the top five in each competition category. Returned votes are counted in real time on the big screen.
In the PC Demo and PC 64 kB Intro competitions two different setups are available to choose from, namely DOS and Win95/98. If you are programming for the Windows, keep in mind that also the special DLLs must fit in the size limit. We strongly advise you to contact Ws/Nv in advance if you are planning to support Win32 in your production. Other operating systems (Linux?) might be supported if there are enough demand for them.
There have been questions about additional main competitions, for example Commodore 64 Demo competition. We will add support for them if we get enough response from the scene.
The maximum playing times listed below are *guidelines* only. Most probably we don't cut the modules at 3'00 sharp but you should at least *try* to obey them.
** General rules for all the competitions **
- At least one of the authors has to be present at the party place to take part in the competition.
- An almighty jury will review all the entries and decide the amount and the names of the finalists which will be shown on the big screen.
- Organizers reserve the right to disqualify entries because of bad taste (f.i. racial or explicit sexual content).
- Entries with copyrighted or illegal material will be automatically disqualified.
- All entries will be distributed immediately after the party. They will be available at our ftp site and from other sources as well.
- Organizers reserve the right to make a low-cost CD-ROM and put all or selected entries from Abduction'98 on it.
- All the entries (except for the Wild! competition) must be delivered on normal-size diskettes, either in PC or Amiga format. These diskettes will *not* be returned.
- By contributing your production, you are acknowledging these rules.
Deadlines on Friday are *final* but on Saturday you can bring updated versions to your work also after the deadline. Read the schedule for more information.

This is what happened at Skenery'96 two years ago :
"Skenery 1996, held in Jyvaskyla, was enormously successful. Megafun! It was very free spirited, cops visited in force many times, people were drunk and everybody had great time!"
- Grendel/Byterapers
"a mass orgy of alcohol with 90% (or more) of the visitors being under the constant influence of various substances."
"a number of organizers and security guards were found drunken beyond repair."
"The announced clandestine rave shows were a total success, with live playing from Jormas, Irwin of Damones."
- ROM issue 8
("Copyparty of the year"-award)
- HiRMU lehti #4 was released.
- Organizers got around 1000 empty beer bottles, dozens of kossu bottles.
- One traffic accident.
- Three visits from police.
- One serious attack with whole police force of JyvДskylД: 9 policecars (packed with men) simultaneously at the partyplace, (6 normal police cars, 3 big ones, 2 police dogs + 1 police bicycle =)
- Nice releases from Complex, Orange, Dubius, Coma, Doomsday, TPOLM ...

   ilmeentynyt. TДnД vuonna jДrjestДjДt pyrkivДt jДlleen ennenkaikkea
   toimivaan partyyn (kansan tarpeet huomioon ottaen), jossa kenellДkДДn
   ei olisi valittamista. Siksi kuulisimme mielellДmme myЖs juuri sinun
   toiveitasi. LДhetД meille sДhkЖpostia, osoite lopussa.

2. MISSд?

   Elevator jДrjestetДДn jДlleen Ylivieskan ylДasteella. Ylivieska on
   Oulun etelДisessД sijaitseva n. 13.500 asukkaan kaupunki. EtДisyyttД
   lДhimpiin isompiin kaupunkeihin Ouluun, karttuu 130km ja Kokkolaan 80km.
   Ylivieska sijaitsee pДДrautatien varrella, johon pДДsee myЖs suoralla
   rautatieyhteydellД Iisalmesta kaksi kertaa vuorokaudessa.

   Partypaikasta on noin 1 km ydinkeskustaan, josta lЖytyvДt mm. 6 baaria,
   2 kauppaa, 2 pizzeriaa, 3 grilliД, 1 hampurilaisravintola, lyhyesti
   sanottuna kaikki tarvittava. Pienempi lДhikauppa sen sijaan lЖytyy
   jo 200m pДДstД.

   HUOM!: JДrjestДmme opastekyltit tienvarsille sekД rautatieasemalle
   (~1500m), jotta kaikki lЖytДisivДt varmasti heti ensimmДisellД
   yrittДmДllД perille. Jos kamaakin pitДД roudata junasta, taksiasema on
   rautatieaseman yhteydessД.

3. MILLOIN?

   Ajankohta on 15-17.1.1999. Tekstin kirjoitushetkellД saatavissa olevien
   tietojen mukaan ei loppuvuodesta jДrjestetД Suomessa yhtДДn isompaa
   partyД, eikД lДhivaltioissakaan muita kuin TP:t Tanskassa
   vuodenvaihteessa. Joten tervetuloa sankoin joukoin.

4. MITд MAKSAA?

   SisДДnpДДsystД perimme 100 FIM. Vaihdossa saat sisДДnpДДsyyn oikeuttavan
   badgen ja ДДnestys-id:n. NДiden partyjen tarkoitus ei ole tuottaa
   jДrjestДjille rahallista voittoa, vaan kaikki kulujen vДhentДmisen
   jДlkeen jДДneet rahat kДytetДДn palkintoihin.

   Voit myЖs ilmoittautua ennakkoon sДhkЖpostitse, jolloin maksat 80 FIM.
   Ilmoita sДhkЖpostiosoitteeseemme (mainittu lopussa) nimesi. Saapuessasi
   paikanpДДlle, ilmoita lipunmyyjille sama tieto.

   Luonnollisesti pДДstДmme tytЖt sekД ulkomaalaiset ilmaiseksi. TytЖille
   ei jaeta badgeja, ДДnioikeus jДrjestetДДn myЖhemmin mДДriteltДvДllД
   tavalla.

5. TARJONTA

   - PЖytiД alustavasti 100:lle koneelle (lisДД tarvittaessa jДrjestetДДn).
     Tilaa PALJON useammalle ihmiselle.
   - RiittДvДsti sДhkЖvirtaa. Muista ottaa omat jatkojohdot.
   - Oikeasti hiljaiset nukkumatilat kokonaan eri siivessД.
   - Upouudet suihkut vДlittЖmДsti partysalin yhteydessД. Jopa molemmille
     sukupuolille omansa.
   - Huippuluokan ДДnentoisto, jossa panostetaan laatuun mДДrДn sijasta.
     Takaamme, etteivДt jДrjestДjДt luukuta partyjen aikana missДДn
     vaiheessa liian kovalla, joten korvatulppia ette kompojen aikana
     tarvitse. Emme myЖskДДn soita ylimДДrДistД musiikkia, melua riittДnee
     muutenkin tarpeeksi.
   - ParikaapelilДhiverkko, paikat kaikille. Kaapeleita saa lainata ja
     ostaa jДrjestДjiltД, jos omaa ei ole. Parikaapelipaikkojen loputtua
     loput tДytetДДn tavallisilla BNC-piuhoilla. NДitД me emme tarjoa.
     Linux-serveri. Verkkokortteja on myЖs myytДvДnД edullisesti (alle
     200,-).
   - Tarpeeksi iso bigscreen, jossa nДkyy myЖs vДlillД partycam *LIVE*.
   - Nettipohjainen ДДnestys, jДnnityksen vuoksi ДДni-kerrallaan-ДДntenlasku
     sekД screenillД ettД oman koneesi ruudulla lДhiverkon kautta (nДet
     haluamasi kompon). дДnestys tapahtuu henkilЖkohtaisesti, joten niin
     monesti aiemmin nДhty votekorppupelleily ei tule onnistumaan.
   - Kioski kohtuullisilla hinnoilla.
   - Yhteiset pizzatilaukset Kotipizzasta suoraan partypaikalle. Kaikki
     normaalilistan pizzat hintaan 30,- (emme vie mitДДn vДlistД). Kun
     vДhintДДn kymmenen tilausta on tullut, lДhetetДДn se.

6. SддNNжT

     (rikot Ъmaksat).

   niille varattuina ajankohtina.

   Jokainen kilpailutyЖ tullaan kДymДДn lДpi kahdesta jДrjestДjДstД ja
   neljДstД kДvijДstД koostuvan juryn toimesta. Jury kДsittelee tuotokset

8. PALKINNOT

   Rahapalkinnollisia kilpailuja jДrjestetДДn 6 kappaletta. Muihin
   kilpailuihin (fastkompot, yllДtykset) pyrimme jДrjestДmДДn
   jotain muuta irtokamaa. Rahapalkinnollisissa kilpailuissa jaetaan
   voittajille rahojen lisДksi myЖs hienot kaiverruksilla varustetut
   pokaalit. Rahat maksetaan partyjen jДlkeen, ei partypaikalla.

   Palkintoihin jДДneet rahat jaetaan seuraavan kaavan mukaisesti:

      :  DEMO    INTRO     MUSIC     MP3      GFX      WILD  :   yht
  ----+------------------------------------------------------+-------
   1. :   14%      11%       8%       5%       8%       8%   :   54%
   2. :    9%       7%       4%       3%       4%       4%   :   31%
   3. :    5%       4%       2%       --       2%       2%   :   15%

  yht :   29%      21%      14%       8%      14%      14%   :

   YmmДrtДnette, miksi sisДДnpДДsy maksaa sen satasen. Haluamme
   todellakin, ettД meillД on teillekin jotain annettavaa. MP3-kompossa
   emme lupaa enempДД, koska yleisestД tasosta ei vielД ole tietoa.
