MTC December 2021: Sevens 2021-12-01 23:08:18  


    Welcome to the ManiaExchange Monthly Track Contest (MTC) for December 2021! eyebo and Arkive are your hosts for the month.
    In the MTC, your mission is to build a map on a given theme. Later, all the maps are rated and a winner is found.

    Theme of the Month: Sevens
    Create fun maps in all seven of the TM2 environments!

    The seven environments to build in:
    • TM2 Canyon
    • TM2 Valley
    • TM2 Stadium
    • TM2 Lagoon
    • TM2 Island (comes free with Stadium)
    • TMOne Speed (comes free with Valley)
    • TMOne Alpine (comes free with Valley)


    Theme Specific Rules
    • Use the original car for each environment.
    • Use the base titlepack for each environment.
    • Duo maps are allowed. Each duo counts as one map for each participant.
    • Author Time should be between 15 seconds to 1 minute


    General Rules
    • MTC should be present in the track names. Example: "Lemon Lime Licorice (MTC)" or "mtc|ValleyForge"
    • Maps should be built in the most recent version of the game
    • Maps must be built during the month of this MTC.
    • Blockmixing, embedded items, and mods are allowed
    • Press Forward, Left, Right, or similar tracks are NOT allowed
    • Maps requiring drivers to use OpenPlanet are NOT allowed

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

    Deadlines
    • All seven maps should be uploaded before December 31st at midnight EST. Submissions will continue to be accepted until I officially announce closure in this thread.
    • Maps submitted within the deadline will have 24 hours after submissions close to make any edits
    • Public voting is from January 2nd to January 9th or until the internal judging is finished, whichever occurs later
    • Only participants that submit all seven maps will have their entries judged.
    • Maps will be individually scored on a single category, "Fun Factor".
    • Scores across all seven maps will be added up, and this will determine your ranking in the MTC.
    • Results are calculated and posted soon after public voting closes


    Prizes
    :gold: Honor and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that.)
    :gold: The top 3 winners will receive a front page feature of a track of their choice

    How to Submit
    • You MUST upload your track to this mappack and optionally post a link to your map in this thread
    • You can update your map within the deadline as many times as you want
    • Submitted maps may be updated within 24 hours of submissions closing, in case of any necessary last minute changes; new maps may NOT be submitted in this time frame
    • Updating your map after the revision deadline has passed will lead to a disqualification. You are free to update your map once the results are published

    Judging: Public and Internal
    We will use a mixture of 75/25 between internal judging and public voting if there is 1 public voter, 60/40 for 2, and 50/50 for 3+

    • Everyone is allowed to judge, even players who submitted a map (your score on your own map won't be counted)
    • Every map will be judged with marks from 0 (bad) to 10 (good). All votes greater than/equal to 7 or less than/equal to 4 require constructive feedback on why you gave it that score
    • Note that you have to judge a map entirely! You cannot judge only half of it. If you are not able to finish a map, your vote can still count! Please only leave that as a very last resort, and judge the entire map fairly
    • You must play and vote on all maps for your votes to count
    • You need to verify your vote by making a post here (for example: "Voted :done:")
    • One best and one worst vote for each map will be ignored if more than 10 people vote
    • The internal judging will note some detailed feedback with points based on one category:
      (Fun [50p])

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