SECOND UPDATE: THE RESULTS CAN BE FOUND HERE. WINNERS, PLEASE PM ME FOR PRIZES.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RULES
Ground Rules
- All maps must be under 1.5 Mb.
- No profanity or inappropriate images in maps.
- All words must have been translated to English or German.
- Maps must be submitted by the deadline; no late maps will be accepted for judging.
Contest Rules
- Categories
— Race will include races, runs, flyraces, hpraces, and dummydrags. Races will not be judged unless one of the judges can beat them.
— DM will included DMs and TDMs. These will be judged for graphics as well as playability, so try to make you DM maps shine.
— CTF includes all traditional CTF games. If a new player cannot be expected to get from one team's flag to another due to in-map hazards, than the map would be considered a flyrace, not a CTF. Like DM, judges for CTF will have graphics in mind.
- Deadlines and submission
— You can start a map whenever you want, but it must be finished by the deadline.
— The deadline is 12:00 PM EST, September 1st
— Maps cannot be posted for critique; contestants will be disqualified if this is found out about. In addition, no special images from the map may be released before the contest ends.
— All maps submitted will be posted up for downloads on this post.
— Please post your map on this thread to enter.
— You may only submit one map to each category.
— Judges may not submit maps to the categories they are judging.
— You may not use other people's images, save the default tiles. There is an exception as well with Landil's spikes and n-race, but these may be only used for race maps.
— You may not submit maps that have been released before. This gives an unfair advantage (you have already received feedback). Special exceptions may be made if the map was released less than a week before the competition start
Judging
- Judges
— Race: Sushi Tee, Lordskelethom
— DM: Landil, Dinosmoothie
— CTF: Me, Stephanator
- Scoring
— Maps will be judged by three criteria: difficulty, playability, and graphics.
— Judges will score each of these elements on a scale of one to ten.
— The map with the highest average in each category will win.
— If there is a tie, a tie-breaker judge will be selected from the community to decide the winner arbitrarily.
- What will score points
— Maps that can be played by more people are important, so no race maps that cannot be beat by people who have a higher ping than 50.
— Asking a friend for constructive criticism will help you get a feel for what people think.
— DM and CTF Maps made only for certain mods, such as instagib, will likely not win.
— Good gameplay is the key criterium; you will need to create a fun map to get points.
— Keep in mind that graphics will earn brownie points.
— Putting TDM spawnpoints in DM maps will always add points.
Prizes
- Judges and people who will donate a server to run maps will get:
— Scifi2 Weapons
- First Place
— A custom avatar by Landil
— Server Hosting
— Judging in the next competition (if they choose)
— Gold Teeskin
— Scifi2 Weapons
- Second Place
— Server Hosting
— Silver Teeskin
— Scifi2 Weapons
- Third place
— Steel Teeskin
— Scifi2 Weapons
- There will be one of each award per category.
- If multiple people collaborate on a map and win a prize, each collaborator will get the prize. However, no more than three people may work on a map together.
Frequently Asked Questions
- "All words must have been translated to English or German." Why German?
Well, most players are German. I can only speak English, however, which is why I also wrote English.
- Can I edit a map once I posted it?
You can revise the maps you submitted before the deadline.
- Where to upload the map?
You can use hosting sites like www.willhostforfood.com or http://depositfiles.com to upload your map on the forum. Make sure to list the gametype and the version, and provide screenshots.
