Our team has some questions about Phase2 Mod/TC categories.

First off,

Other than some 2D art for icons, crosshairs, particle effects, etc, we have about 0 custom art in the game. We have been using a ton of stock UT3 stuff as placeholders and plan to continue to do so for a while. Is this against the rules and/or does it disqualify us for any Mod/TC categories?

The only thing I can see in the rules is with regards to copyrighted material (which UT3 is), but we aren't selling the game or anything obviously and the assets that are in there are only placeholders - the art stuff takes a long time to do (and so does level design).

If we can't enter phase 2 for whatever reason, does this mean we can't ever win the grand prize? I read that you had to enter into each phase to be eligible, but I've also read that previous phase entries didn't matter and the phase 4 and final phase were the only ones that actually counted.

Thanks in advance,

You dont have to enter into previous phases to get into the final phase, its simply that if you enter early you have more of a buffer zone to perfect your mod.
