You can update your submission any time you want to.Hopfully Emerald Lake gets some decent ratings. Is it too late to send in any bug fixes? I just found a few undefed rings I need to get floating before voting starts.
I'm wondering, how does this rule apply when reusing an existing stage, but converted into a different gametype? Like say, the author submits map A for the Match contest, and later submits map A again, except this time for the Race contest. I'll note that this exact situation has precedent, with Oogaland's level Four Seasons [Circuit]. Though then again, the next tidbit in the same rule --2. Previously released content is uneligible for the contest. In other words, if you have released the level on the forums or another level design contest, you may not enter it.
may have been added later due to me, throwing the "having precedent" argument out the window.Also, basing your map on another previously released SRB2 level is not allowed.
This is not allowed. It may have been in the past, but at this point we want you to create new content, not rework your old content to new uses. The OLDC is for showing off creativity and originality, not how well you can re-purpose old material.I'm wondering, how does this rule apply when reusing an existing stage, but converted into a different gametype?

As long as the stage was not previously released, there would be no issue with this, at least from a rules perspective. The stage might not exactly work for multiple gametypes, so it might end up with a crappy score, but you won't be disqualified for it.If it would be acceptable, then let's stretch this to ridicule. What if someone submitted the same stage to two divisions in the same contest? Would it be accepted? Would both entries be disqualified?
