Official Contest Rules
It's simple, it's easy, it's the Delphi Quickies Contest! Join now to win prizes by sharing your expertise in Delphi programming.1. Introduction
The About Delphi Programming site on About.com and "Sponsors" are teaming up to sponsor this Online Contest ("Contest"). NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY. A PURCHASE DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
2. Eligibility
All developers are eligible.
3. Timing
The Contest begins at 00:00:01 on Sunday, June 01, 2003 and does not end as long as we have sponsors and developers to share their code.
4. How to Enter
This contest involves submitting Borland Delphi source code articles related to any topic in Delphi programming.
5. Judging Criteria
All entries are controlled by a real person (the About Delphi Programming Guide) before going live on this site.
Each entrant selected as a potential winner must comply with all terms and conditions set forth in these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all such requirements. The prize winners will be selected by a Judge—the About Delphi Programming Guide—on the basis of completeness of solution, originality of solution, elegance of Delphi source code and GUI. The contest will take place under the supervision of About.com. Participants agree to be bound by these rules and the decision of the Judge, whose verdicts are final.
Winners will be announced in our newsletter at the end of each "round". A "round" is a period of time defined as the smaller value of "2 weeks" and "7 articles submitted".
