SUMMARY: The Fundamentals

See the 'Official Rulebook' (revised for the 2020-21 season) here for a comprehensive breakdown of the game.
However, the summary below should be sufficient enough.

- Voting takes place between SATURDAYS and MONDAYS.

- Voting Seasons last 52 weeks.

- Voters allocate their points via comment, following the weekly criteria stated in the Announcements section. Votes from Instagram will be commented by myself.

- The first account to mention a film takes possession of it for the entire season.

- Voters have 2pts to spend in total. One on a recent watch, the other on the alternating Free Choice Film or Fortnightly Special (unless stated otherwise, look at for milestone weeks).

- Voters cannot vote for the same film 2 weeks in a row.

- Voters cannot vote for the same film more than once, unless they actually watch and log it.

- Amateur short films or unreleased films will not be counted. Documentaries, TV movies and professional short films etc. are fine.

- Also, only vote for films you've seen!

- Films are ordered by points total, then by alphabetical if tied.

EXTRAS:
- Each week the 'Director(s) of the Week' and the 'Most Voted Film(s) of the Week' is calculated. See relevant sections of the Rulebook for how it works.
