Yolympics is a multi-game, team-based competition. Players will compete on many games during the event, and their rank will be measured by their performance across the multiple titles in competition. This is a team-based event, meaning the team with the best overall performance will win. Within each team, their top N scores for each game will earn leaderboard points.
-----------------------------------
Winter Yolympics 2023 will feature 20 games:
-- Four games with the most votes from each of four categories based on release year (16)
-- Four games with the most votes from a Wildcard category (4)
The year-based categories will use a ban list that includes games from ALL past Yolympics events.
The Wildcard category will use a ban list that includes games from the past FOUR Yolympics events.

Autofire:
There are many arcade games that effectively require long periods of button mashing - often for the full duration of play.
For some games, such as Track & Field, mashing is a primary measure of skill. For other games, such as many shmups, it is not.
Due to the risk of Repetitive Stress Injury involved in this hobby of leisure, Yolympics has adopted a common-sense approach to autofire.
Autofire is generally not allowed, but may be permitted at the organizer's discretion on a per-game basis, following the below guidelines:
1. Skilled play involves button mashing for a substantial portion of the game.
2. Button mashing is not a primary measure of skill for the game.
3. The use of autofire does not trivialize the game.

Yeah, glad to see an appreciation for the game.
The main problem with the game is a lot of people haven't played it.
It's a great game that has an ending around 20 minutes.
It's a great tourney game if given the chance

I have Spoke out on my teams discord channel about some of the games going to auto fire settings.. I am not really vibing with this.
Auto Firing was always said to be cheating.. If I want to submit my scores to other places i have to have auto fire turned off.
I am not wanting drama in any way. This is a topic that should have been talked about ahead of time.
-
Autofire for shmups has been standard in Japan for decades, and the same is true for the shmup community at large.
-
You can totally play with auto fire turned off! Good luck in the event!
-
It has been allowed for the last few tournaments
I was always against it as well but have been more opened minded about it recently.
Its only some of the shmups that it is allowed for, as flob pointed out it has been standard for those games for a long time

I know for places Marp they will not let any score pass with an auto fire.. Your score will be DQ'D

Good point. We don't want people using auto fire in the Yolympics mistakenly submitting their auto fire scores to MARP.
That definitely would be a no no. Thanks for the heads up you're giving. 8)

just dont submit to marp, problem solved, lets carry on

I thought the anti autofire crowd stayed at the whole seconds speedrun place. Kappa
