Why no hard & fast rules?  I want that completely unconventional, breaks-all-the-standard-tropes product to be able to win rather than being disqualified on a technicality.  It can't win if it can't enter.  And the truth is that I think the judges get the spirit of the categories.  Can a gamer use this in a particular way?  No?  Then it's a crappy product for that role even if it has high production values.</blockquote>
