also thanks iGrok and the rest of the MotM team and judges for all the work you put into this.

I hear MotM 7 is maps with no reflective/rotational symmetry allowed ..... jk.

Once all of the judges have submitted their scores mappers can ask iGrok to pm them their scores. What you do with them beyond that is up to you entirely

It's worth noting that the scores don't play a huge role in how we choose our top 5. The scores allow us to round it down easily and filter the good from the bad, but beyond that when the judges get down to the actual map discussion we go over things that are too hard to quantize accurately with a score out of ten and work from there. It's entirely possible that your map - that could potentially score a 30 or better - still doesn't make the top 5. As far as the competition goes, I suggest against trying to read too far into the scores.

You will get feedback (or request it since last MotM) , you will get a scorecard with some quick pointers on how the judges felt the map could improve or what is spot-on on the map. Most of the guys n gals here arent afraid to post their mapscores, someone usually starts and the rest follows. If you want pure feedback on your map, well thats what the individual maptopics are for.

I think it would be cool if you would release all the map scores publicly but not put the score to the map, just so you can see the whole list. I didn't submit a map this month but the past couple months I always thought it'd be interesting to see all the other scores.

I understand the idea, but personally when I see someone has 2 points more in balance, I want to see how different their maps are from mine, else I still learn nothing

the judges play the maps and feel them out...

that's why it's important to have strict timetables and "guidelines"... so the judges can spend their time on discussing the data/feeling they got from playing them.. this on as many maps as possible

of course it helps any map when the judges start out by looking at pretty pictures



Do you think that the map makers could get sent a reply of their map being tested after the competition, even if it doesnt make it past the first hurdle?

There's always something nice about seeing someone play/test your map, and if it doesnt make it past the first hurdle, that map might just end up dissapearing into the either anyways. So being able to see one replay of others on your map might be all you get.

Additionally, if the reply consists of ingame chat about the map, its pros/cons etc, then its a general good thing in learning about your map and how to improve in the future.

Seriously, most of you guys could work for Blizzard.

Great, great work. I can't wait to try them out.

lol So I have a couple replays. For the record, me and my friends aren't even ranked (well 1 is silver I think), so take that for what it is. On top of that, it's FFA, so while it might not say anything about the balance it does say something about the fun I'm the Protoss player

FFA on Pora, PvTvT
FFA on Shadow Wake, PvTvT

My friends are generally turtly players, so I was hoping Pora would make them more aggressive. In the end, it was not the case lol.
On Shadow Wake I knew I could warp in rush and make them a little annoyed because they wouldn't think about it

I really like the 1base maps actually, makes the units more precious so you take better care of them, esp. cause I'm the type to keep attacking till all my units are lost u.u
