The car must come to a complete stop at least once on the intended route.

Voting

• When the voting week starts, the maps will be available on a server in the TM2 MultiEnv titlepack.
  
• The server will be open for a week.
  
• To vote, use the karma system on the server.
  -- 1 point (bad)
  - 2 points
  +- 3 points
  + 4 points
  ++ 5 points (good)
  
• Everyone is allowed to vote, even players who submitted a map (your vote on your own map won't be counted).
  
• All votes on a map will be averaged, resulting in the map's total score.
  
• You no longer have to finish a map in order to vote!
  
• Players are encouraged to leave an award on the maps they liked, and to post constructive feedback on as many maps as possible

Prizes
The top 3 winners will see their map featured on the front page.
Bragging rights and a feeling of accomplishment!

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

About the rule, I have a question: If we forced the respawning, does it count?

Also, there's a mistake for the end of voting week: I guess you mean Wednesday July 31st @ 06:00 CEST

Yes, forcing a respawn counts as a stop

And thank you for catching that mistake! it has now been fixed

The voting week has started for this month's monthly track contest!!!
If you wish to vote for your favorite maps, you can join the server titled "MTC-Monthly track contest voting!" on the TMall/MultiEnv titlepack.
This month's theme was "Wait a Minute..." : The car had to come to a complete stop at least once on every intended route.

Make sure to award the maps you enjoy, here, on TM²X. And, most importantly, have fun!

This month's MTC is over. The votes for each map have been compiled and thus, these results came out.
The map that has recieved the best votes is hetna's "Time Stop"
