    Dream Build Play results delay

    Hi,
    It's written that the top 20 of DBP entries will be known about 1 week after the deadline. Does this mean we can expect them to be known very soon or is it going to be delayed? Or maybe, knowing that there are so many contest entries, I should ask: how huge will be the delay?

    Regards,
    Pawel

    How many entries are there? I haven't seen any numbers at all, would be fun to know. :)

    There are sooo many entries, I would think it would take more then a week to go through them all.

    Hope they release some of the better ones to the public to play :)

    In the rules. :)


    (i) Semi-Finalist Round of Judging. Commencing on or about July 9, 2007, all Entries will be reviewed, considered and judged in a Semi-Finalist Round of Judging by a panel of qualified judges supervised by an independent judging organization, which will score each Entry based on the Judging Criteria. Those Entries ranked 1st (highest number of points, based on the Judging Criteria) through 20th from amongst the pool of Entries will advance to the Finalist Round of Judging and Participants will be so notified commencing on or about the week of July 16, 2007 (based on the Registration contact information provided and maintained by Participants on the Site). Promotion Finalists will be posted on the Site on or about the week of July 23, 2007.


    I too hope that they will put all games up for people to download. It might be nice if you were able to give them an updated version though (we found some pretty serious bugs since we submitted the game :) ).

    All winners will get announced on August 13th as planned.  We'll highlight the top 20 at that point in time.  Have seen a great many of the game submissions, everyone did a hell of a job.  It definitely won't be easy for the judges!

    So we won't know which entry made it to top20 until August 13th ? What about the rules quoted just above your post ?

    Re: Dream Build Play results delay

    Also in the rules:

    "Sponsor may, at its sole and exclusive discretion, extend an invitation to Finalist Participants willing and able to attend the 2007 Microsoft Gamefest Conference in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. from August 11 to August 13, 2007 (where the Finalist Round of Judging for the Promotion will take place and where Promotion prize winners will be announced)"

    I'll happen to be in Seattle at that time (huge coincidence) , does this mean that Microsoft is no longer extending this invitation?

    That's a bit of a shame.  I (along with others I imagine) was waiting to see if I was in the top 20 before booking a flight to Seattle.  I certainly won't be going now under the assumption that I'm going to get Gazzumped by several people working silently on killer games.

    The rules say the semi-finalists will be notified at that time (July 16). It doesn't say the finalists will be announced to the community at that time.
