Welcome ladies and gentlemen! Uniwarriors and uniladies! Welcome to the great mapmaking tournament! The wonderful show of great hopes being crushed, where the weak ones die in horrible pain and the great ones live forever, rich and forever remembered! And believe me, after all of it, after all the years to come, when our apps will stop working, we'll sit comfortably on a wheelchair, with a grandsons on our knees and warmy fireplace behind our back, we'll all go back to this place and go 'oooH DAM MY BACK I FORGOT WHAT I WAS MEANT TO SAY!... ah, oh. Oh. So THIS IS where all of these legendary maps came from...!'

The rules are simple:
- SUBMIT YOUR 1v1 and 2v2 map (one each) for FREE
- (want to boost your chances? You can pay 200 unicoins to post additional map)

- TO SUBMIT JUST SIMPLY:
- Make a map* (map specifics below)
- at the start of your map write [GMC-18] (for example '[GMC-18] dread monk')
- PM me the link to the map. Or maps.
-WIN A PRIZE, BE A LEGEND. MAKE A HISTORY[/size]

Current pool prize - 8300 unicoins + from entry fees. And growing.
WANT TO BE A PATRON? PM ME AND SEND SOME COINS TO BOOST THE COMMUNITY GROWING! <-----

Who wins?
- top 3 maps from 1v1 contest and top 3 from 2v2 contest.
Deadline:
- 22 of April 23.59 london time (sunday)
Who judges the maps:
- a group of judges listed below. Do you want to be a judge? PM me before the deadline. 2200+ highest rank required. Most surely prize for participation. Not sure yet. Let me know in the comments what do you think. <-------

Specifics:
- every map must be scored (average) at least 6.5/10 balance points
- it must be a classical or CTF map, without race restrictions, able to make it to the ranked pool
- then, the importance is the following [multiplication factor]
* dynamics (the less likely is the build-up gameplay, the better) - 8*
* tactical plurality (understood as variability of gameplay and vastness of units every race can use. For example, semi-water maps would be higher here than all-land ones) - 8*
* balance of races (sapiens, titans, khrals all have more or less similar chances on a map) - 7*
* balance of players (P1 has same chances as P2, and in 2v2 - team 1 same as team 2) - 6*
* design - 4*
As for design - it's the least important one, though it's best if your map is A) plain and simple. Those we remember the most - kinda classy looking. And not TOO big, that probably too. B) original C) nice looking.

-comment section-

Ok guys, so I'm still working out the best formula for the judges part. Let me know what you think. Here is how I imagine that to date:
- a judge doesn't need to play through all of maps
- only the average sum counts, so I'd say at least half of judges should play a map, so if we will have 8-10 test members, a minimum is 4-5.
- the most abnormal vote (or two) falls off, no matter too high or too low comparing to others, so the most average scores count (3 of 5 would be nice)
- of course judges can play with anyone, not only among themselves
- a small sum of encouragement would be cool, but it'd slightly lower the prize sums, so I really dunno
- from the maps playing hard for top3, a final 2 weeks of the contest should be a 'round 2', with all judges focusing only on let's say top5 maps from 1v1 and 2v2
- if someone really loves some map, he could boost it up a bit with the golden ticket (from 1000 points I'd say about 20-30 bonus points per judge, depends on how many judges I guess

Plus I'd like to ask, mostly the patrons, the following: should we do it as for now, with 1v1 and 2v2 separately, or maybe only 1v1 now and 2v2 later with the other contest?

I'll have a go. I've been rather lax on my map making recently.
