Event-specific rules control
Each event's announced fight card, restrictions, eligibility, deadlines, and prize details supplement this page. Where rules conflict, the published rules for the particular event control, subject to applicable law.
Submissions and eligibility
Entrants must follow the event's stated submission format, duration, permitted content, and deadline. Collaborative work and AI-generated content are governed by the restrictions announced for each matchup or challenge.
Judging framework
The planned AT7 rubric uses Creativity (10 points: Originality 5, Inventive Development 5), Execution (10 points: Technical Quality & Finish 10), and Cohesion (10 points: Flow & Pacing 4, Music & SFX 3, Unity & Structure 3). The final published event rubric controls.
Fairness and conflicts
Judges and organizers should disclose conflicts of interest. Entrants must not attempt to influence judges or manipulate results. A published appeal process should address arithmetic errors, rule violations, and conflicts.
Prizes
Prizes are only guaranteed when explicitly announced in the applicable event rules. The organizer should publish prize amounts, eligibility, delivery method, timing, and any tax obligations before entries open.
Changes and disputes
Material rule changes should be announced transparently. The organizer may investigate cheating or eligibility disputes and document the resulting decision.
Contact
For now, contact the organizer through the official Apollo Tournament social channels linked on the homepage. A dedicated legal/privacy contact address should be published before launch.
