TOURNAMENT CLARIFICATION: GUITAR SKILL
You are permitted to learn the Guitar skill regardless of Entertainment and Symphonic - you just may not actually play guitar. For example, if you've lifted Education (and possibly Military) you can take a class in the skill. There are similar restrictions for other instruments (ie you can learn the skill, you can't play them).

TOURNAMENT CLARIFICATION: SPARES WITHOUT HEIRS
It is legal to have a generation that doesn't contain an heir; the "spares" of this generation may still make lifts as normal. (The most common case for this would be a prestige occult where the babies are not born of the correct species).
Note that this will be your last generation. If that's sufficient to lift the last of the restrictions, all good - otherwise, your challenge will end as none of your spares can produce the next generation you'd need to continue.

TOURNAMENT UPDATE: PRESTIGE GHOSTS AND DIVORCE
We've clarified the rules for spouses. In essence, your spouse is still your spouse for challenge purposes if you get divorced, or the marriage ends in some other way, if they are still part of your household. For example, if you are playing a prestige occult ghosts and kill your human spouse, and then bring them back as a ghost, for challenge purposes they are still your spouse.
Since prestige occult ghosts cannot marry anyone other than mundane humans, they are now not only not required to remarry their now-ethereal "former" spouse but in fact are forbidden from doing so - but it's all good, as they count as a spouse anyway for breeding purposes.

TOURNAMENT UPDATE: SCORING
We're about half way through - you still have plenty of time - but since some players are getting close to the end, we felt it was best to talk about scoring.
To submit your score, we will need:
- Your total "Main Score", for lifted restrictions. (A maximum of 25 here, if you lifted Alien Technology).
- Your total Bonus Points. Give the total even if it exceeds 220.
- Your total Prestige Option Points. Give the total, even if it exceeds 75.
- Your total Penalty Points. Note that up to 10 bloopers is 0 penalty points.
- The total number of days you spent. Include time spent at University, World Adventures, or In The Future. If you send, say, 3 Sims to University simultaneously for a week, that's 7 days. If you send them separately, that's 21 days. (Because it's harder to control multiple Sims). If your founder went to University, that counts too.
A total score of 220 is "perfect". If there are ties, we will break them using the raw totals and compare them. Note, for example, that we DO care about how long in days the challenge took; it's probably not worth while to deliberately delay your progress to chase bonus points.
