Rules

No copying from library or subreddit

Be original. Don't just take some random expression, change a value or two (or nothing at all) and pretend it's yours.
Any expressions you already publicly posted cannot be used.
Remixes and covers (not even necessarily of bytebeat songs) are not allowed either. (unless you're remixing/covering an old song you never released, then uhh)

Don't overuse fractals

Your song shouldn't mostly consist of fractals (like t&t>>8 or t|t>>4). This doesn't mean you're not allowed to use them, however.

Keep your expressions short

The limit is 12KB. You'll probably not run into this limit, unless you're attempting to use PCM data or a tracker. If your expression is above this limit, you won't necessarily be disqualified. But you will have a 0.25 point reduction per every extra kilobyte.

But not too short

There are minimum lengths for the 3 ranks. Those being 150b for Newbie, 500 for Apprentice, and 1500b for Master.

Don't take too long

Each season has it's own end date. Make sure you submit your expression in time.

You can only submit 1 song

No more no less. If we find out you use an alternative account to submit more songs, you'll be banned from participating permanently.
