        Hi there!  Thanks for your interest in the 2016 installment of the
classic Tracker Fix computer music challenge.

        This event consists of a few phases and it would make our foolish task
of administering it easier if you could get back to us (ideally at
cthulu@tabnet.ca) with a few pieces of information before you begin:

   Name:
   Handle/nickname and affiliation:
   Quick-turnaround online contact information (e-mail preferred):

So, for example, I might write myself a little message reading:

        "Hi there, I'm excited to take part in the Tracker Fix!  Here are my
         details:

        * Rowan
        * Cthulu / Mistigris
        * cthulu@tabnet.ca

        Thanks!"

        This allows us to keep some tabs on our compo participants, to shake
them down when deadlines approach (at the end of this weekend -- late on Feb
21st for the initial song-starts, and before our final release date for
polished public versions of the songs on March 19th, 2016) and to
democratically solicit their opinions in regards to scoring and ranking the
entries.

        Feel free to write in with other questions or rulings on fine points
(when in doubt; we're soft on the rules and generally tend toward inclusion).
Any really important questions that come up will be added to the FAQ at the
bottom of mistigris.org/newmedia/tfix.html

        Good luck!
        - Cthulu / Mistigris
		
P.S., if you find the primary sampleset truly unworkable (do give it a shot)
rather than being spitefully contrary, we will also accept noncompeting
submissions (to avoid comparing apples to oranges) made with the historical
Tracker Fix C64 games samplepack located at http://bit.ly/tfplanb
