NOTE: Please double-check all of your submissions before submitting. You WILL NOT be able to edit your entries or submit additional runs once you hit the 'Submit' button.
Timeline:
Submissions end April 2, 11:59 pm EDT (extended due to delayed start)
Round 1 selections will be finished no later than the end of April 4
Round 2 selections/final game list will be revealed April 18
Final schedule will be posted May 1
- Create an account on Games Done Quick (You can do this right now if you wish!), or log in if you already have one. If you attended the last AGDQ or SGDQ, you definitely have one.
- Go to your profile and find the "Submit Games" button. Alternatively, use the quick "Submit Games" shortcut in your user menu.
On the submission form, you will find the following fields:
1. Stream URL (Twitch/Hitbox/etc) - Optional but STRONGLY suggested. We need this to verify you are practicing your game. Note that if you provide a Twitch handle, we will display it during your run.
2. Twitter Handle - Completely optional. We sometimes use this as an alternative contact method, and we may use this in the future for public runner profiles.
3. Availability - Required. You must provide accurate dates on when you are arriving and leaving the marathon. We use this for scheduling. If your dates change, you must update this information!
Below that basic information, you will find the Game Submissions fields.
This has changed from previous submissions, so even if you have submitted before, please read on.
There is a limit of 5 games per person, and 10 categories per person.
The fields are as follows:
1. Game Name - Required. Pretty obvious.
2. Run Description - Required. Maximum 420 characters. Be concise.
3. Game Console - Required. The system you will be playing on. PC, N64, etc.
4. Categories - Required. This section has undergone significant changes. You may add up to 5 categories per game, up to your overall submission limit of 10. This means you could have two games with 5 categories, or 5 games with 2 categories each. Every game submitted must have at least one category.
4a. Category Name - Required. 40 character limit.
4b. Category Estimate - Required. Do NOT include setup time. Do NOT put down your personal best time. Provide a "real time attack"-style time that starts from console power to last input, and make sure you account for mistakes. When practicing, use marathon-safe strategies, and base your estimates off of that. And do not forget to factor in RNG. Remember, use real time, not in-game time.
4c. Category Run Video - Optional, but strongly recommended. Provide a URL to a full, complete run of this category played by you. Production values are not important, as long as we can see what is going on. Twitch highlights, YouTube links, and equivalent are acceptable.
Click submit, and that's it. You will receive notifications every step of the way on your profile (and email, if selected). Keep in mind that there are two rounds of elimination. If you are selected to pass the first round, you are not guaranteed to be in the marathon. Only once you reach the final, second round will your run be locked in. No additional actions are required after you submit your games/categories; your submission is carried over from eliminations to final scheduling.
