So if we used 1 ASM utility that only copied archived programs to RAM (Like Resource) to save space, then it would be considered Hybrid? even if EVERYTHING else was Basic?
My concern, though, is what hybrid programs should be forced to compete against ASM and what not. For hybrid games only using an utility such as XCOPY or Resource, this might be unfair since ASM would have a clear advantage on graphic speed or quality

That may be unfair, and thus I think there should be three categories in fact: BASIC, hybrid-BASIC, and ASM. But ASM is no walk in the park either, so it might balance itself out. In the end, I still think 3 categories would probably be the most fair.

Uhhh, isn't it already in the same category?
It really needs a miscellaneous category, as this would include stuff like ease of installation, user friendliness, and not having hundreds of files on the calculator like Contra (well, maybe not that many).
