The Trackering

The Trackering was an underground music competition that ran from December 1995. It was run by Swedish demoscene member Axl (Thomas Axelsson), now more known as dj fisk, on IRC channel #tt on AnotherNet. The contest had 32 rounds, although the last one did not get to voting. It was one of the first contest of its kind, similar to Cruelization and Groovy Compo.

Rules

The contestants were given a set of samples, and they had one week to create a MOD music file. The accepted formats were MOD, MTM, S3M, IT and XM. The file size was limited to 150 Kb. After the one week, the modules were submitted and compiled into a votepack. Anyone could vote on them, but the contestants had to vote on each module, otherwise their song would be disqualified. Votes ranged between 0 (worst) and 9 (best). There was one week for the voting, and the end of which the results would be announced.
