Hi Canyon Mappers! I will be hosting a competition starting in mid January. More details on the competition will be released in the following weeks. But for now I want to start getting the map creation under way!

There will be a cash prize of $10 USD. This will be awarded to the best map voted by the players in the competition, on the official training servers. Players will vote using the TM-Karma.com widget. If there is a tie it will come down to the awards on the MX website.

Map requirements
Please make sure your map complies with the following requirements:

• Name: "CRC - name"
  
• You can use what you want for name, as long as it isn't a team- or playername (or something similar!)
  
• Length: 55 - 80 seconds
  
• Maps should general competition style (think TWL, ESL, ESWC, etc)
  
• Embedded blocks are allowed (preferably not as scenery)
  
• Placing checkpoints backwards is forbidden.
  
• Use of default sign pack only!
  
• Blockmixing is allowed, as long as it does not produce any graphical glitches or driving bugs

How the competition will run for the maps

• All suitable maps that are submitted will be placed onto a TimeAttack server for 2 weeks prior to the competition start. All members of the public will be able to play/train/vote on these maps. The 5 maps with the highest tm-karma rating (judged by the local karma), will be the map pack for the competition.
  
• TimeAttack server will go live midnight CET, 2nd January. Until midnight 16th January.
  
• Once the 5 maps are chosen, all karma will be cleaned, and voting will start again.
  
• Voting will only be counted on the official CRC servers (1 TA, 1 Rounds), and once again judged by the local karma.(People may vote twice)
  
• After the grand final is run, votes will be counted and the winner announced.
  
• Payments will be made using PayPal. Double Triple check that you have an account which can be paid to.
  
• Ties between maps will be settled by percentage positive votes.

Yes, but why would one do that. Haha

They are the best set of rules around. So why not?

Sounds like fun!
