Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

INTRODUCTION
Over the past several years, Everybody Edits has unfortunately been gradually decreasing in player count. What we are left with is a very tight-knit community of players who have all come to enjoy the same game. Though these members of this community may know each other, how well can they work together?
Master1 and I asked ourselves this question about 7 months ago. After a lot of planning, we have finally decided to begin this contest. May the best team win!

CONCEPT
In past contests, we have always seen the same results. The winners never change. Newer users stand no chance in earning themselves a victory. This contest is going to change that.
Once signed up, your name will be thrown into a random drawing for teams. There is a chance you could be forced to work alongside someone you don’t know. You may potentially be assigned someone you dislike. Whatever the outcome, you must put aside your differences quickly and work together. Only true teamwork will win you this contest.
Don’t be too discouraged, however, as we will have SOME quality control. We will try not to pair people like Kira and Lictor together, even if their names do end up matched together in the drawing
__________________________________________________________________________________
RULES
Please note that if you do not abide by the rules you may be disqualified
Unlike other contests, instead of having one specific theme you have to follow, instead we are placing a few restrictions to see how you and your partner can work together to overcome the obstacles you are faced with
-Your submitted level MUST be titled “Contest Submission”, as it will make it easier for us to judge the levels.
-Your level may not use portals
-Incorporate music in SOME way. It doesn’t have to be good, nor does it have to be the concept of the level, but you have to have it. A good example of this could be Megalambs First Samurai, as it serves as merely a victory jingle, and otherwise has nothing to do with the concept of the level.
-Incorporate as many effects as you can. You may be disqualified if you do not have all the effects in your world. (If you do not own every effect you must notify us prior to submission)

SIGN-UPS
In order to sign up for the contest, you MUST follow the following format.

JUDGING
Current Judges
-Kirby
-Master1
-Pingohits
We are still looking for at least 1 more judge. If you would like to be a judge, PM me (Kirby) on the forums, and I’ll try my best to get back to you
When judging, the judges will follow a specific algorithm to ensure maximum fairness. This algorithm will decide who the top 5 teams are. From those teams, we will have a long discussion amongst ourselves to decide the rank of the levels, as we can not simply trust an algorithm to rank the best 3 when there are prizes being given.
Though we will not share the algorithm until after the judging has been complete, we will share parts of the level that you should pay attention to.
-Creativity is key. We will award many points on creativity. Think of these points, however, as “Extra Credit”. You will not be marked down if your level isn’t necessarily creative, however it will help you much more if it is.
-Gameplay. Your level has to be fun in some way. It doesn’t have to be gameplay oriented, but it shouldn’t be a chore to play
-Difficulty. We don’t care. Just keep in mind if it’s stupid hard it’ll probably be stupid to play, which could affect your gameplay score.
-Ingame art. This won’t be worth very much, but if your level makes the judge’s retinas spontaneously combust, you can expect points to be taken away.
-Overall Enjoyment. This is worth little, but they are points that allow the judges to have some form of opinion that slightly affects score.
-Minimap art. This will reward next to nothing. Keep in mind, though, that if you have a really pretty minimap, it draws people’s attention and makes them want to play your level. This could end up affecting the “Overall Enjoyment” category.
-Theme. If it doesn’t look like you tried to follow the theme/rules, you will be disqualified. How closely you represented the theme does not matter. Just try.

CONCLUSION
For the past couple years, it has been brought to everybody's attention many times that this game is dying. Everyone knows it at this point, and we will repeat it without even thinking about it. So from Master1 and I, we implore you to sign up. Even if you don’t play Everybody Edits anymore, or don’t find yourself building levels that often, give it a shot. It might change how you look at this game.
Good luck.

You did not follow the guidelines.
This contest doesn't have team names, since you are being assigned the teams. NAME refers to your everybody edits username. TYPE OF EE PLAYER refers to whether you are an artist, minimaker, player, etc.

You should really elaborate what "type of EE player" means Kirby.
Anyway thank you creators of the contest for making EE fun again. With events like this i'm sure it makes many users more active.
I hope there will be many submissions. I might even share this topic in EE worlds to advertise.

Reserved until I know what type of player means
I'm guessing it's so they can pair a minimaker with an artist instead of having a team with 3 minimakers who suck at art.

thats an unfortunate risk that you'd have to take. Hopefully, though, people won't sign up if they can't log on at all
also, that could be viewed as a positive, because then you could have more control over the level building process

-Your level may not use portals
Why? As someone who uses a lot of switch mechanics this rule basically kills any purpose I would have as a team mate (aside from suggesting ideas). I don't really see a reason for not allowing portals.
Also I'm assuming world size doesn't matter?

any size is fine, youll have to discuss that with your teammate
also: it does not matter which teammate hosts the world. I would recommend making a temporary crew with them and adding that world to it, though, so it's easier to collaborate on it

as we said in the topic, since you are working with someone you don't know, seeing how you work together to overcome problems would be interesting. Nowadays people are so used to using portals, it will be interesting to see what people come up with when that restriction is put on them
EDIT: updated contestants list. If I didn't submit you, please remind me, as I may have missed your post

Are bots allowed? Because if so could you not just set up a bot that permanently stays in the world to execute teleportation commands to teleport players to specific locations upon touching blocks / backgrounds; or is that perfectly okay and seen as a soloution to the no portals problem?

bots like eeditor are allowed for building, but definitely no BAL's allowed
