In all seriousness, though, this is very exciting. I believe the judge's note focuses on the general layout and major concerns rather than every imbalance.

Let's get this party started!

When are you guys going to release the next months maps guidelines, since it might be a good thing to start early.

Wow, I would like give most of the maps a far worse score.

Plus, I don't like the marking scheme. I'd prefer a 10/5/5/5/10 with Balance, Originality, Fun, Deco and misc.

EDit: thanks iGrok

a short video showcasing each of the 3 first maps to get on the podium would be a good thing?
ingame footage (done by a good mechanic who works on it) cut to a sexy video addressing the reasons why said maps won (what half of the casting of the finals should be about) and all the maps' cool and unique features with the mapmaker's favoured music and stats and blablabla (just picture what could be featured).
that would add to the prize pool for both mapmakers and players,
in any case that's the way awesome maps should be showcased in their respective threads

That's a good idea, baskerville. We'll look into incorporating that in the future, but probably not this month - too much new stuff going on =)
If/when this is incorporated, we'll likely have a few film editors offer demos, and pick our favorite. You'll definitely get a chance at making the films.

de nada... you wouldn't take me anyway

Guidelines in general won't change much. However, we'll be doing different categories each month. I'll go ahead and say that February will have the same category as January - 1v1. Remember that you can still submit a map with 4 spawns for a 1v1 category - or 3 or 5,6,7,8 or even 100 if you want =)

I just want to thank everyone for their submissions! We'll be hard at work over the next day or so to score all the map submissions. We'll release the results as soon as we can (probably the 9th-10th)

...patiently waiting...

haha. We've got a meeting scheduled in about 20 hours for those of you counting. List won't be up until some time after that.
|
Anyone looking for results might want to tune in to this post: Final Results :D
Please give feedback here though, that post is more of a heads up for the players

Wow, didn't thought i could make it in the top 5 with such a strong competition. Glad to see The Crucible was strong enough to accomplish this. Looking forward to see the scorecards and improve my work furthermore

Are they only uploaded to US, or are they also uploaded on EU? Because I cannot seem to find them when searching.
