Now that the template is online everybody can see it, and somebody might say: "I'll make a track, if it turns out rubbish i'll keep silent, but if it's good, i'll sign-up for the contest and send in my track". The participants don't have that luxury, they must send in a track or they get banned. That's why the signup period was separated from round 1.

ok now that makes more sense. you should've said that earlier! [;)]
but is it ok to take the template, create a track, and upload it just for fun, not for the contest?
