Welcome to the ManiaExchange Monthly Track Contest (MTC), January 2017.

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 and a winner will be found.


• Theme of the Month: Darn those cheap contractors
  Apparently your crew skimmed costs. Make a track 3500 coppers or under with at least 2 re-uses
  
  
  • The copper size includes everything. Find a way to make it.
    
  • The limit is hard. If your track is 3501 coppers then it's DQ'd
    
  • A re-use is considered crossing the same section twice or more. Sections can be of 1 or more blocks. When I say "same" I mean the literal same, not an equal one placed somewhere else.
    
  • Doing a re-use section more than twice is considered a single re-use
    
  
  
  
• Deadline
  All tracks should be submitted before the end of Sunday 22, January 2016 PDT.
  
  
• Prize
  Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that. I hope anyone still remembers him? )
  The top 3 winners will receive a showcase of a track of their choice (< 10 awards)
  
  
• General Rules
  
  
  • Track-/Laplength below 90 seconds
    
  • Custom objects allowed
    
  • Envimixing allowed
    
  • Blockmixing allowed
    
  • Custom Titlepacks forbidden
    
  • No PX tracks
    
  • MTC should be present in the mapname. Example: mtc.Marbella style
    
  • 1 map per author
  
  
• How to submit
  
  • To enter a track, simply upload it and post a link to your submission in the submission thread.
    
  • You can update your map within the deadline as many times as you want.
  
  
• Judging
  We'll use the well well well known public judging system:
  • Everyone is allowed to judge, even players who submitted a map (give your own map a 10)
    
  • Every map will be judged with marks from 1 (bad) to 10 (gud).
    
  • Note that you have to judge a stage entirely, you cannot judge only half of it.
    More details will appear after submission ends
    
  
  Good luck, and as always: If you have any questions, please ask

means that a map with a display cost of 3500 will get disqualified?

Nevertheless a good theme for more compact, technical maps this month

Very interesting theme

Does a crossroad count as a re-use? If not, it would be nice to have a handy diagram of what makes a re-use and what doesn't

tsunami says:
should there be more re-uses in the map or just one?

Intro post says:
Make a track under 3500 coppers with at least 2 re-uses
