Hey there! Thanks for asking. :-)
1. You'll be notified if your game is DQ'd for breaking the rules. I believe you'll also be notified if your game doesn't advance, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
2. Please refrain from publishing the contest version of your game. If it wins, Komodo will get the rights to publish it, but you'll retain the rights to do whatever you want with it, including making a non-contest (like extended, complete, etc.) version.
