MTC November 2014 2014-11-01 00:04:05  


    Welcome to the ManiaExchange Monthly Track Contest (MTC), November 2014.

    In the MTC, your task is to build a track on a given theme (see below). Later on, all of the entered tracks will be rated by our judges and a winner will be found.

  • Theme of the Month: 1x1
    Your task is to build a track using 1x1-sized blocks only (no height restrictions).

  • Deadline
    All tracks should be submitted by the end of Sunday, November 16th 2014, CET.

  • Prize
    :gold: Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that :p)
    :gold: Top 3 tracks will be featured in the News section, getting extra spotlight.
    :gold: The winner will receive a showcase of a track of his choice (< 10 awards)

  • Rules
    • Only use blocks that are one block wide and one block long (so to say 1x1 area as seen from birds eye view)
    • No custom objects
    • Envimixing is allowed
    • Blockmixing is allowed! Just make sure to build no flickering textures and no ugly mixing to avoid point deduction in the polishing category.
    • 1 map per author
    • Important: To enter a track, simply upload it and post a link to your submission in the Submission Thread
    • Important 2: Include the sequence of letters MTC somewhere in the track name so that it can be easily discovered on mania-exchange.com.


  • The Judging System
    We think this system works well:
    Each judge will rate every track using the following categories:
    • :award: Route:
      Flow, smoothness, layout, speed, diversity, transitions, difficulty, etc.
      The general "feel" of the track while driven.
      Max. 15 points/judge
    • :award: Theme:
      The judges will look at how creatively you implement the theme into the track.
      Max. 15 points/judge
    • :award: Polishing:
      Signage, Scenery, MT. Does your track feel like it has the finishing (visual) touches?
      Max. 10 points/judge
    • :award: Fun Factor:
      Depending on how fun the judges find your track, some extra points can be given.
      Max. 10 points/judge

  • We need 5 reliable and committed judges!
    So if you have a bit of time to spare in the week after the deadline and want to volunteer as a judge, please contact us!

    Good luck, and as always: If you have any questions, please ask :)

It is only from a birds eye view right? So I could use something that is 2 units tall like a ramp? also, do "clips" on road blocks count, or is a road block only 1x1?

You can use blocks that are 2 blocks high, that's exactly what I meant ;)
Slips don't count, so normal road blocks are valid :done:

So uuh, I guess MTC may won't get judged? I can totally understand if the judges of that month don't have enough time, just curious

The problem with MTC may is that there are no judges at all :(

For November we still need 5 judges, gogogogo! :build:

no custom objects: so this means not even the standard ones in the editor?

yep ;)
otherwise the 1x1 restriction wouldn't be that effective.

Is the 1x1 restriction also for scenery, or only for the track itself?
