+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+


    This year the party will be held in the "Veldromo de Anoeta", which
    is located in the "Complejo deportivo Anoeta", in Donostia-San
    Sebastian (Gipuzkoa). This is not last year's building, but it's a
    hundred meters from it.

    You can give a look to the attached map to see the location, marked
    with a red circle, and how to get there from the railway station or
    the bus one, following the red stipled line. Also with a red stipled
    line is marked the way you must follow to come by car.

    The party will start at 8:00am the 23th of July (Friday) and will finish
    the 25th of July at 22:00 (Sunday).

    It will be possible to stay inside the partyplace until 7:00am of
    the monday.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. PARTYPLACE                                                           |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    We'll have all the "Velodromo" for us, totalling 5000 m2.
    There will be tables to put the monitors and computers, and of
    course plugs and chairs.

    We'll have a powerful sound system, a giant 8x6m screen, another
    screen of 2x2m and a 5x5 meters VidiWall.

    The partyplace will be open 24 hours a day for those who carry with
    them the party identification, and it will be able to stay inside
    at night, even with the computers working.

    The partyplace has a changing-room with WC and showers with hot water,
    and a cleaning service that will look after them, so that they're
    in a perfect state during the three days.

    Next to the partyplace there will be two rooms for sleeping.
    (but, who wants to sleep?)

| 3. WHAT TO CARRY                                                        |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    Each assistant can carry, if he wishes, his computer, work he has
    made using it, programs, games, utilities and of course the las
    Demos he has get.

    Nobody should expect to find a computer free to copy graphics or demos
    presented in the party. Another important thing is that each assistant
    should carry with him its computer ready to plug in a single plug,
    this meams to carry a plug robber.

    Additionally, each user has to be self-independent. The organization
    can't leave monitors, mouses, ...

    The organization is not responsible of the breaking, stealing nor
    deterioration of them.

    You can come without anything, but we don't recommend that, in part
    because it's more boring than coming with computer, an also because
    it would be conveniente to meet as the highest amount of computer as
    we can (up to 500 computers)


+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 4. PARTY TV CHANNEL                                                     |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    There will be a mobile TV unit and a Party TV channel, so if you bring
    a TV, you would be able to see all events and demos on the TV. At the
    same time, all the people at Donostia would see it if they sintonize
    the channel.

    The VidiWall will emit different interviews and general views of the
    Party with a team of about 12 people from the Escuela de Cine y Video.

    Furthermore, all the compos and conferences will be broadcasted through
    the Party TV channel at the same time they are projected on the big
    screens, so they would be recorded on a Video Tape.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 5. GENERAL RULES                                                        |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    The Donostia Council has rented us the place and all the necessary
    stuff to make the Party. We expect that everyone will have in mind the
    importance of leave all the stuff as when we found it.

    The place will be opened 24 hours a day, allowing us to go in and out
    whenever we like, even at night. Every time we want to enter, we must
    show the ticket to the doorman. Have in mind that it's not allowed to
    make too much noise in the Party Place at night.

    Also isn't allowed to smoke or to drink any alcohol drink in the Party
    Place. To do so you must go to the Bar in the same Party Place but
    separated from the computer zone.

    We can't control that everybody behave correctly and respectful to the
    rest of the people, but we think that this should be the natural
    actuation of everyone of us.

    We expect that appart from the problems of the organization of such type
    of events, we won't have any added problem due to the assistants bad
    behaviour, not accounting that if anything is broken, or there is too
    much noise or bad behaviour in general, is possible that the Donostia
    Council doesn't allow us to end the Party and of course doesn't allow
    to organize the Party never more.

    We will not doubt anytime to throw out anybody if required and to make
    pay the damage done, or in extreme circumstances, to call the Police.
    To get all under control, we will count with a security team.

    During the replay of the presented works in the party, IT WILL BE
    FORBIDDEN TO MAKE ANY NOISE, SOUND o MUSIC THAT COULD BOTHER THE
    AUDIENCE. In case of repeatly breaking this rule, the organization
    keeps its right for making the author of the noise to stop it, and
    even to expel him from the party.

    As you know, piracy is a crime, so we ask for the assistants to
    refrain from bring pirate copies of commercial programs.

    The unique type of sofware you could copy at the Party will be the work
    done by every group or independent people, and the Freeware or Shareware
    software.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  . COMPETITION GENERAL RULES                                            |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    For each category and person only one work is allowed, except the
    64kb and 4kb intros.

    The production's author must be physically in the party. If it is
    a teamwork, at least one of the members of the group must attend the
    party, to give the production to the organizers, and to take the prize
    in casi it wins one.

    The productions must be presented before the deadline. No production
    will be accepted after the deadline. Those deadlines will be announced
    repeatedly.

    The demos and intros can be tested in the compo machines to verify
    they run correctly. The test will be done in order and as it is
    possible.

    Remind that it could be incompabilities  between some video modes and
    the video projector, this risk exists and it cannot be forseen.

    Before each PC Demo,  the computer will be reset to avoid incompabilities
    with the former demo. ULTRINIT and SB16SET will be run to leave the Sound
    Cards into a reasonable state.  AMIGA:  the computer will be switched Off
    and then On again.

    All the Demos and Intros must be able to abort pressing the ESC key or
    pressing the left mouse button on Amiga productions. Those productions
    that don't meet this rule will be disqualified.

    The productions will be shown to the Jury before the big screen replay,
    in another room. If the Jury disqualifies a production, it won't be
    shown to the public. In the same way, the organization keeps its right
    to disqualify any production with contents that are racis, of bad taste
    or any other theme that could hurt publics sensibility.

    If more than 15 productions present to a category, the Jury would be
    able to do a preselection to discard productions to show to the public.
    This is, only the best 15 productions will be shown in the big screen,
    and the replay order won't necessarily be the clasification order
    decided by the Jury.

    During the showing of every compo entry at the Party, including Demos,
    graphics and music, IT WON'T BE ALLOWED to play any type of sound or
    noise at your computer that could annoy to the audience. In case somebody
    doesn't follow this rule more than once, the Organization reserves the
    right of force the autor of the noise to stop it, or even to throw him
    out of the Party.

    For the productions delivery, this year we'll have a dedicated
    server again. Thanks to the type of net we're developing, you'll
    be able to upload the productions quickly to the organization.
    In any case, the productions can be delivered in disks and also in
    CD-ROMs, but not in any other format. Productions delivered in
    ZIP, JAZZ, Magneto-optics or hard disk will NO be accepted.
    The Wild compo productions MUST be presented in VHS tapes, in SP
    format (not Long Play). Disks and CD-ROM won't be accepted in the
    Wild compo.

    The sound table will be UNTOUCHABLE to anybody not belonging to the
    organization. So the table will be adjusted the same way for everybody
    at the music compos, and also in demos, intros, etc.

    It won't be accepted ANY MACHINE to show any work (including Demos,
    Intros, etc.) except those of the Organization's. All productions
    must run in one of the organization's machines, in order to get
    accepted in one of the compos.

    ALL the works, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, will be  spreaded after the prize
    ceremony, even if they are Beta versions, and without having in mind the
    authors want or not.

    When delivering a production for any compo, you'll have to fill in
    a file with some information. ALL THOSE WHO DON'T DELIVERY THE FILE
    WITH THEIR INFORMATION WITH THEIR PRODUCTION, WON'T GET ACEEPTED THEIR
    PRODUCTION TO THE COMPO. In the same way, ALL the productions must have
    a FILE_ID.DIZ (identification file) inside or besides it. Any production
    not meeting this rule won't be accepted, very important to identify
    the production's authors and the productions themselves.

    Every work presented at the Demo, Intro, Human Demo, or Animation Compos
    must include at least a captured screen, to include it in the Web Page as
    fast as possible, after the compo. This screen could be asked for by any
    press agency or magazine that want to cover the Party

| 10. VOTING                                                              |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    This year, we're changing from the classic system of popular voting
    to the Jury. After quite a lot people asked it in the last two years,
    we've decided to test this system this year.

    The system will have the following characteristics:

    - The Jury will be composed in each compo by the same participants that
    are in the partyplace. This is, the graphicians that participate in
    de 2D compo, will be the 2d compo Jury.

    - In the demo, intro and Wild compos, in which the works are done
    by various members, there will be only one representant for each
    production in the Jury. For examplo, for the demo compo Jury, if
    the demo has been coded by 3 people, 2 graphicians and one musician,
    only one of these people will be in the Jury.

    - The Jury will meet in a diffent room for the private voting.
    Depending on the compo, the Jury will be called for voting before,
    during or after the competition has been showed in the big screen.
    You have the meetings times in the compo-rules section, and it will
    be also told to the participants when they give their productions, as
    well as it will be remenbered by megaphony when the time is near.

    - If more than 15 productions are presented to a competition, the
    organization keeps its right to select 15 people between the
    participants to limit the jury. In the same way, if there are less
    than 15 productions, the organization keeps its right to call other
    people to complete a Jury of a maximun of 15 people. There never
    will be a Jury of more than 15 people.

    - Similarly, if there are more than 15 productions in a compo, only
    those in the first 15 postions will be shown in the big screen, with
    no order, not to reveal the winners.

    - A Jury's members HAS FORBIDDEN to vote his own production or his
    groups production. If a member of a Jury breaks this rule, its vote
    will be taken as null.

    - Each member of the Jury will give a puntuation to all the productions
    presented, but after it, he will have to chose the 5 productions that
    he gave best puntuation. Those five will be counted in the end.
    To the production with more points, he will give 5 points, to the
    second 4, and so on until the 5th, which will have 1 point.

    - The draws will be resolved as follows: first will be seen how many
    times has got each production the first place, then how many times
    the second position and so on...

    - The votings result won't be revelaed untel the prize delivery,
    in the Sunday afternoon, where the winners will be revealed.
    Afterwards, the complete votings will be revealed, as well as the
    name of the members of the Juries of each category. Never a vote
    from a particular member of a Jury will be revealed, although the
    Jury's members would be able to check whether their votes have
    been counted and the count has been correct. We repeat, only the
    Jury members.

    - The organization keeps its right to change those rules in any
    time without previous warning.

    - If you have any problem, please contact with
    humphrey@euskalparty.org.

| 11. COMPETITIONS FORM                                                   |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    Any person or group that wishes to present any production to any
    competition, would have to fill in the form that is in the
    FICHAS.ZIP file, besides this info text.

    When delivering the work, besides it you must give the FILE_ID.DIZ
    identification file, additionally. You've it also in the ZIP file
    besides this infotext.
    
    You must give the form PRINTED ON PAPER. Please, don't give us the
    form in a file. Print it, fill in, and when giving us your production
    give it to us. Thank you. 

    Notes:

    In the Wild Compo, the participants have to fill in the VHS tape's
    card as it was the FILE_ID.DIZ file.

    It is very important to fill in those forms and to give them with
    your productions, because this way you save a lot of problems to the
    organization, and you'll make the compos, votings and the party
    itself more efficient, faster and easier for all.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+


    GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

    We will have a Party Network useable by all the computers that have a
    net card with RJ45 connector. Every table of 16 computers will have a
    hub that will offer 15 connections. The 16th will be used to cascade
    connect all them. We discarded the idea of using coaxial cable, due to
    the problems we had in past editions. It's supposed the good use of all
    the stuff supplied by Euskaltel (HUBs, wires, etc.).

    The net is for us, this means that its use depends on the good
    functioning of it. The organization couldn't and don't want to control
    the net from bad using of it (saturation with WinNukes, ICMP, bombs,
    Mail bombs, Hacking, etc, etc). It depends on all us that the users
    behave correctly.

    At the entrance, a small sheet will tell you how to configure the
    computers (preferably Windows 95/98) to access the net. The IP 
    addresses will be supplied by DHCP.


    INTERNET CONECTION

    Euskaltel, the new Euskadi global telecommunications operator, will
    supply all the hardware and the installation required to allow the
    Internet access at the Party. We will have a bandwidth proportional
    to the number of connected computers, and also a cache proxy server
    and a firewall. It's only allowed the external access through the
    port 80 (World Wide Web).

    We will count also with a local WWW Party server, continuously notifying
    about all the outstanding Party events (timetables, votings, results,
    etc.).

    Keep in mind that this is a Party, not a hacking competition. We
    can't avoid that anybody try to sabotage in any way the net, but remind
    that the first affected are you. Anyway, if anybody is discovered
    trying to use the net or any of the servers incorrectly, will be kicked
    out of the Party.

    PRODUCTIONS SERVER

    This year we will have a dedicated server to allow the upload of the
    productions directly to the organization, avoiding the annoying disks.
    Of course, they will be valid yet.

    We expect to have a Pentium II at 400MHz with 128MB of RAM and a 2GB
    SCSI hard disk under Windows NT 4.0 (or possibly Linux). We hope this
    will be sufficient to manage the estimated net traffic.

    The productions will be sent throught FTP. An account will be created
    for every group that present a DEMO, and an account for every one of
    the rest of compos. The last will have only write permission, so to
    correct mistakes you must contact with the organization. Instead, the
    DEMO accounts will have full access, so every group has the
    responsability of its use, reserving the organization its right to take
    the control in case of bad use of it.

    The productions must be sent compressed in ZIP, fulfilling the space
    limitations of each competition (See compo rules)

    Every production must have a FILE_ID.DIZ file with the next format:

    Ticket Number: xxx
    Competition: xxxxxxx
    Production: xxxxxxxx
    Author: xxxxxxx
    Group: xxxxxxx
    Commments: (Format, what program to use to see it, technical specs for
    demos etc.):xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Every production that doesn't contain this file will be disqualified.

    Immedately after the compo results, all the productions will be put on
    the net server to be downloaded by the assistants, independently of the
    Beta "state" of them.
