BKZX (short for Blitzkrieg Zeux) is a competition that takes place sporadically and at a moments notice, usually held on IRC or some other real-time medium. The competition usually lasts for only one hour, and one (or occasionally two) topic is chosen by the "host" of the competition for the competitors to follow. BKZX games are usually short, quickly crafted, and on rare occasions may exhibit major programming prowess. They are usually designed to be humorous and deliberately poor quality.
The most common judging system used in BKZXs is peer judging, where each competitor ranks every game but his own, and the person with the highest cumulative rank weighting wins. In the case of a tie, or when there are too few competitors for this system to work, the host looks over the disputed entries and quickly decides the winner of the competition.
The BKZX competitions have resulted in a few memorable games like Nancy Breakfast.
