Welcome to the ManiaExchange Monthly Track Contest (MTC), November 2014.

In the MTC, your task is to build a track on a given theme (see below). Later on, all of the entered tracks will be rated by our judges and a winner will be found.


• Theme of the Month: 1x1
  Your task is to build a track using 1x1-sized blocks only (no height restrictions).
  
  
• Deadline
  All tracks should be submitted by the end of Sunday, November 16th 2014, CET.
  
  
• Prize
  Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that )
  Top 3 tracks will be featured in the News section, getting extra spotlight.
  The winner will receive a showcase of a track of his choice (< 10 awards)
  
  
• Rules
  • Only use blocks that are one block wide and one block long (so to say 1x1 area as seen from birds eye view)
    
  • No custom objects
    
  • Envimixing is allowed
    
  • Blockmixing is allowed! Just make sure to build no flickering textures and no ugly mixing to avoid point deduction in the polishing category.
    
  • 1 map per author
    
  • Important: To enter a track, simply upload it and post a link to your submission in the Submission Thread
    
  • Important 2: Include the sequence of letters MTC somewhere in the track name so that it can be easily discovered on mania-exchange.com.
  
  
  
• The Judging System
  We think this system works well:
  Each judge will rate every track using the following categories:
  
  • Route:
    Flow, smoothness, layout, speed, diversity, transitions, difficulty, etc.
    The general "feel" of the track while driven.
    Max. 15 points/judge
    
  • Theme:
    The judges will look at how creatively you implement the theme into the track.
    Max. 15 points/judge
    
  • Polishing:
    Signage, Scenery, MT. Does your track feel like it has the finishing (visual) touches?
    Max. 10 points/judge
    
  • Fun Factor:
    Depending on how fun the judges find your track, some extra points can be given.
    Max. 10 points/judge
  
  
• We need 5 reliable and committed judges!
  So if you have a bit of time to spare in the week after the deadline and want to volunteer as a judge, please contact us!
  
  Good luck, and as always: If you have any questions, please ask

The problem with MTC may is that there are no judges at all

For November we still need 5 judges, gogogogo!
