What about the endurance MTC? There were 40 tracks over 3 minutes long... and some over 10 minutes. We had about a month to judge from the close of submissions. 3 judges started. Only 2 finished. That was insane. Some amazing tracks came out of it too.
Let me clarify. I hope it didn't sound like I was discouraging authors from making hard maps for the MTC. Please, make whatever you like. It's great to see a variety of styles and difficulties when judging.
In the past, if I just couldn't seem to manage a clean run, I'd get a replay and watch it. That only happened on two tracks out of the six MTCs I had the privilege of judging. It was only used as a last resort after every effort was made to get a clean run. That's a little difficult at the moment anyway without replay uploading. I guess we'll have it by next month's MTC though.
