## Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. **Missing required sections**: CCS Concepts, Keywords, ACM Reference Format
2. **Wrong font**: Using Times instead of Libertine
3. **Incorrect citation format**: Not following ACM style exactly
4. **Missing DOIs**: References should include DOIs when available
5. **Copyright notice**: Modifying or removing copyright block
6. **Column imbalance**: Large white space in columns
7. **Figure quality**: Low resolution or pixelated images
8. **Heading capitalization**: Using all caps instead of title case
9. **Author format**: Not following ACM author format
10. **Reference format**: Using abbreviated names instead of full names
