IDOOM Contest Goes International

The Czech speedrunning contest site contest.idoom.cz has been translated into English. Twice a month IDOOM Contest holds demo competitions that consist of a flash contest (the deadline is one hour) and a weekly contest (the deadline is one week), with points from each carried forward separately into the larger, long-term IDOOM Speed Trophy contest. The new version of the site makes it easy for non-Czech-speaking demo fans to follow the progress and the results of the competition, as well as to take active part in it.

This is a fantastic idea. Thanks to the Czechs for making it international.

This looks really interesting. I'd like to try some flash contests as a personal challenge (I know there's no way I could be a real contender). Some questions, though:

1. Are the contests posted at the same time of day every week?
2. If yes, then in what time zone is the announcement of "20:00"?
3. If no, then how can I know exactly when a new contest is happening?
4. How can I know how many hundredths of a second there are at the end of my time?

1. Yes, but not every week. Every two weeks.
2. UTC+1 (e.g. Czech Republic)
4. In PrBoom+ you press F5 once or several times to switch between HUDs until you have the timer. If you record in vanilla/chocolate, I guess you have to have PrBoom anyway to play back your demo and read the time at the end.

Alright, thanks. That puts the contest announcements at 1:00 on Sundays for me - a time at which I have a weekly commitment. Oh well. I might still try recording in the weekly contests and submitting demos that are twice as long as everyone else's.

just a question... what we got to doing here?

EDIT: Nevermind, i understand it. I send the demo to the website...
