This autumn, ESL is coming with it's first premiership for Canyon: ECP1 (ESL Canyon Premiership 1).
For this new addition to our schedule, we're going to need new Canyon maps on which this premiership can be played on. Last time we got some amazing maps and we hope we can get quite a lot of them this time around!

This is the list of requirements for the maps:

• name: "ESL-'name'"
  
• Use what you want for "name", as long as it isn't a team or playername
  
• no special signs in the name
  
• length: 40-55 seconds
  
• use of ESL Signs
  
• the tracks are not uploaded anywhere
  
• the track should be easily finishable
  
• Placing checkpoints backwards is forbidden!
  
• Blockmixing is allowed, if it does not produce graphical glitches or driving bugs
  
• GPS can be there but not on the start block
  
• intros and outros are forbidden
  
• give it a delicate and nice outlook
  
• the scenery is up to you (make sure it doesn't produce lags, lighting problems or graphical bugs!)
  
• the tracks were not used in any competition before
  
• the tracks are only known by yourself
  

If you made a map you think is suitable, please don't hesitate to send it in by mailing it to: eu.tm2.maps@staff.esl.eu! Make sure you use this format ("Maps - ECP - *your nickname*"), otherwise your entry might be missed. The ESL Signs can be downloaded via the announcement on ESL.eu.

Be aware that because of a timeschedule for this premiership, we've set the following deadline: Saturday, 21st of September.

We like to thank you in advance for sending in submissions!
Feel free to ask any questions in this topic.

Really, use whatever you want... as long as it isn't a players-/teamname and it doesn't contain special signs (and of course bad words and stuff, but I suppost that's normal).

TheM says:

no special signs in the name

you mean special characters from eg cyrillic nstuff like ∆ ∀ α Λ -> a, Ξ ∈ ∃ Σ -> e and so on?

Yes, just keep it with the normal characters you can manage on your keyboard without having to type some Ctrl-code or copy/paste from Word or something.

GPS can be there but not on the start block

does this refer to text too? i guess not, so I'm gonna use text to lead ppl to the gps which is starting if you hit a block pretty much outside the track

text might (will) be distracting, so don't do it. can't you just enable GPS on driving back? always the best solution imho.

Indeed, a text might be distracting... so better be safe and enable GPS on driving back
