Please also subscribe to the Maintenance Thread for this game, where teams and staff may post non-spoiler information of general interest. I hope you enjoy the game.
This game will be played in Civ4, patched to v1.61.
This first SGOTM will not feature any advanced variant.. the winner simply will be the team that wins the game at the earliest game date with either domination or a diplomatic victory. All victory conditions are still enabled though, with exception of Space Race, so you have to avoid getting another type of victory (and of course prevent the AIs from winning).
Individual start files for all teams will be available on the SGOTM Progress and Results Page at midnight, server local time, at the start of May 12.
Here's the start position.
Map Parameters
Playable Civ - Hapshepsut of Egypt
World size - Standard
Difficulty - Monarch
Landform - Mystery
Game Speed - Epic
Permanent Alliances are turned on (can form permanent alliances after either communism or fascism is researched)
Space race is disabled.
Egypt is locked into war with Huayna Capac of the Incas.
Egypt is locked into peace with an unknown civilization.
The map is hand built, and therefore may not have a standard configuration.

Civ4 SGOTM reference thread
Notes:
A. ONLY Civilization4 v1.61 is supported for this SGOTM. All teams will compete for a single award - the Gold Laurels.
B. All teams must play the sponsored variant - victory will be awarded for the fastest victory by either domination or diplomacy.
C. All saved game files uploaded to the server are parsed through software that extracts and archives data about your save, including reload count for each turn set.
Good luck to your team, and remember rule #1: Enjoy your game
