Ready your tools as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, internationally-known chiptune competitions on planet Internet begins its ninth installment this year, 2012!

chomp chomp! :D
delicious!

Nope

IT'S THERE

Submissions are open!! They close on 31 October JST!! But does it close at 0:00 or at 24:00?!?!?

Oh ass, I thought this would open closer to Christmas. Need to get some practice in with NSF, I've barely touched that format in forever...

I see that VRC6 and VRC7 expansions are allowed, but we're restricted to 5 channels, correct??

Wrong. Any expansion is accepted (even multiple simultaneous expansions, so go nuts), and you can use as many channels as you like. However you can only submit 2 NSFs: one in Originals, one in Covers. Each single NSF can contain up to 5 tracks (or sub-tunes).

Thanks for clearing that up! I have no clue why I thought channels initially.

yes

look at the big link containing all fcm9 entries

(PS there is already misconception about the rules since fcm8, but the actual rule says you may submit one original plus one cover, or two covers, or two originals, as long as they sum up to two)

This is why someone really should volunteer to translate all the rules into English so K-> can put both versions up on his website.
