URGENT: We have until Thursday. For those of you not checking the discord, here is an update as I didn't see any note of it here. I AM NOT A MOD just a concerned participant who wants everyone to do as well as possible!!
Recently there has been an announcement in the discord saying all the games that got through the qualification rounds. I counted 169 games that made it through (likely a few off as I counted quickly) but that's about 76.75% of all games submitted according to my math.
Mine was not on that initial list, I got re-added in a follow up announcement after DMing sander and opening a help ticket. The disqualification reasons for mine and those I talked to was they want to see credits in the following format [Position, Name, Link to Itch.io profile] for ALL members (even the person submitting the game) in the games DESCRIPTION (having them as itch authors don't count) AND in the form. I fixed this and was added in the follow up announcement. If you did not fill the form it is likely you will not be eligible as that was an early requirement.
The help tickets are down right now so please be patient they are working hard.

NOTES:
- DO NOT: attack mods, use foul language or snap about this, they are doing there best and likely want you to succeed and get your game re-qualified. Being harsh, argumentative or hostile about it will not make them want to help you! This is for fun, and yes we all spent a lot of time but THEY SPEANT MORE.
- This is disqualification for the MONETARY Prizes, you can still REQUEST a game rating weather you qualify or not. (this is a good thing and avoids publicly shaming games that didn't rate well) If that is all you are after, do not stress it! try not to open a ticket as staff is overwhelmed unless you specifically want to qualify for monetary prizes!
- I AM NOT A MOD just a concerned participant who wants everyone to do as well as possible!!
- please don't shoot the messenger I just want everyone to do well! I have no say in the matter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR:
Check your form, check your game. IF YOU WANT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR MONEY: Sweat the fine details and join the discord if anything is amiss to re-apply. BE NICE TO MODS!
