@grable sorry, If I am understanding incorrectly, isn't the screenshot not good enough for original starting position? This is first time I am doing it so please help me to understand things better and let me know what I can do to get it. Thank you.

@grable
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think @race100000 meant that he has revised this position in the past, but has never formally submitted the position... so requirements not met I think

"Revision" indicates that the position was submitted before, and declined by the CGAs. Since you haven't submitted this before, it doesn't qualify as a revision. That being the case, you'll need to fulfil all of the requirements for an NCP. Obviously, you're allowed (and encouraged) to make changes to the position during testing, so please play as many test games as you need to be certain that (in your mind,) the position is as good as it can be. When you've reached that stage, you must have at least 5 test games in the final version, but the previous versions you've played to test it can also be included in the required test games.

@grable Thank you for explaining that. I misunderstood what revised means. I will test and play more games and resubmit with 10 links to fulfill the requirements for NCP. I assume rest all details look good other than additional links? Thanks again

@grable, I have updated the post with 10 links. Please review.
It is too unbalanced
I predict that the CGAs will ask for a time control change

Hey there,
The main things we found here are that the position doesn't have a clearly-defined objective, is too luck-based to be an NCP, has pieces which are seemingly useless, has a time control which makes little sense, and is hugely unbalanced for Yellow, and somewhat for Red as well. To be frank, the main ideas of this game remain a mystery to us CGAs after our testing games. It just doesn't make sense.
I would recommend reading my article "Dos and Don'ts of NCPs." If you think your position is ready to test, you should be able to confidently say you've met all or at least most of those suggestions.
This position, however, is
