MotM September is here. After the recent success of MotM ProAm, we've decided to try yet another competition that is slightly out of the ordinary. This month will feature a normal map submission/judging process, but afterwards there will be a $400 open-tournament on the top five maps, with commentary by ROOTAxeltoss!
Submissions
For everybody wishing to participate in this months competition, please submit your maps in this thread and email the map file to submit.motm[at]gmail. We will be accepting only one map per entrant. Submissions will close Monday, September 10th. Use the following format to post your maps here:
Map Name
Map Author
Map Overview
Map Thread (If applicable)
Playable Map Bounds
The panel of judges will begin choosing the top five once submissions close. At that time we will also start the open-sign ups via Playhem. Any player of any skill level will be allowed to participate in the tournament, up to a maximum of 64 players (depending on how many players sign up). Then once the maps are chosen, the tournament will be played. Shortly afterwards, Ro16 and onward replays will be casted by ROOTAxeltoss.

Hoorayy!!  This will be awesome!

Awesome stuff and wow a 400$ for the players is really nice, lets hope many big name sign up  .
|
Awesomesauce. It'll be hard to choose my single entry though.
|

Yes, it will be held on the NA server. Sorry I forgot to mention that!

can i ask who sponsors this time?
|
This is really cool I hope this can make a splash, and you can get some really good players :D!

From my experience running the Mapper's Monthly I would suggest making a thread under tournaments if not now do it once the map pool is settled. Also if you didn't know about this: http://www.teamliquid.net/tournaments/submit.php You should make an entry as well. I should let you know that I cancel Mapper'e due to me being too busy but if you need any advice I did pick up on a few things, and I would be happy to help you out! Good luck I really hope to see this do well!

An anonymous person who wants to help motm. Many thanks to them, but I can't say who it is.

motm? great!
tournament+prizemoney? awesome!
who are the judges?
|
This is awesome! I will definitely be submitting a map. Be sure to promote the hell out of it, we want as many player signups as possible to get the most and best quality games we can on these maps.

@monitor, think I suggested this before, but maybe you guys want to set up a proper page for MotM with a donation-option. I dont mind donating $20 every month to the pricepool to give this tournament a little boost. And im pretty sure that there are more like me that dont mind doing the same thing.
|
If you make a map that is selected, can you still play in the tournament?
|
as long as you don't add a secret 1 million mineral patch :D

I haven't quite worked out exactly how the signups will work, but they'll be up in a week or two. I'll update the thread with the details!
