    - 2 points

  • Everyone is allowed to vote, even players who submitted a map (your vote on your own map won't be counted)
  • You must vote on at least half of the submitted maps in order for your votes to be counted
  • Your votes will be averaged for the maps you didn't vote on. But please try to vote on as many maps as possible.
  • Note that you have to finish a map in order to vote!
  • Players are encouraged to leave an award on the maps they liked, and to post constructive feedback on as many maps as possible

Prizes

Good luck, and if you have any questions, please ask!

Awesome to have MTC back! One question, what about Checkpoints? Is it encouraged to try to build a map completely without, or rather use unobtrusive item CPs for it?
EDIT: I had the tab open too long, I see the post was already edited :p

Good question! you may only use the checkpoints that are located within the allowed block folders as well as any other non-collideable item checkpoints.

Yes. You may use other blocks for the surrounding scenery as long as you don't hide a secret route that drives on said blocks.

I probably don't have time to participate this month, but I just opened the Valley editor to tempt myself, and block group 10 in Valley is all roads. I assume this shouldn't be allowed.
