Welcome to the first ever Blade Symphony Community Mapping Contest sponsored by fug4life, and deef!
THERE'S CAPES, GUYS.
NOTE: EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T STARTED YOUR MAP YOU STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE AND POLISH IT :)
RULES
- The tournament will start NOW and run until September 3rd 2014 (one month long)
- Maps submitted can be of any style, and users can submit as many maps as they'd like.
- Maps created must clearly show effort was put in to be accepted (see map criteria). This is just to prevent people from submitting a large amount of garbage maps to up their chances at winning the randomly chosen map prize. (See prizes)
- Each map submission can have two users as the creators (maximum) and the prize pool will be split between them, (each receiving a cape if they win one) so feel free to team up with a friend.
- The maps will be judged by a panel of judgements (Tetrabor, fug4life, deef)
- Contestants must have permission to use custom content not belonging to them.

MAP CRITERIA
The map criteria is pretty easy to keep the contest accessible, but we do have a few key rules:
- Duel maps must have 3 arenas
- All arenas must be playable in both 1v1 and 2v2 mode
- Map design must be more visually interesting than a cube with the same texture applied to every surface
WHERE TO SUBMIT?
Simply publish your map to the workshop, then link to it in the appropriate thread.
- Experienced mappers please submit here
- New mappers please submit here
All maps entered to the new mappers category will also be considered for the best overall map prize, since just because you're new doesn't mean you can't be the best.
