Cartographer's Call Competition II, Yuri's Revenge: Mapping Competition Options

[Aro]

(Also posted on PPM)

Hey everyone. I've booted up the Cartographer's Call Mapping Competition again, mainly dueto being nagged to death by everyone.
I'm sure most of you are already familiar with the rules of the CCC, but for those of you who aren't:

Rules:

1 - Only One map per entrant
2 - Any map entered by the creator must be larger than 85 x 85 otherwise their map will be marked as void and will not be judged in the competition.
3 - The entries must be completely new. No re-makes of maps, no copy and pasted terrain from any other maps.
4 - If you post any previews of your maps anywhere before the competition deadline, you will be disqualified and your map will be marked as void and will not be judged in the competition.
5 - Once submitted entries cannot be changed, so make sure you're happy with your map and it has no errors
6 - Entries must be submitted to Aro (Me) by the 22nd of February (00:00GMT)
7 - Your map can be any theater, be it a RA2 theater or a YR theater. Lunar maps are accepted but will hurt your layout score.
8 - Symmetrical maps are allowed, but will hurt your layout score.
9 - Maps are to be submitted in .YRM Format
10 - Terrain expansions of any kind are NOT allowed.

Judging:

Judging will be done by Aro (Me), Ixith and Dudeinabox.

You will be judged on:

- Detail work and LAT placement.
- Map layout
- Map Lighting (10 for lightposts 10 for global)
- General Gameplay on your submission
- Triggers and .INI edits

Will be out of 100 points, based on the criteria listed just above.

20 points for Detail
20 points for Layout
20 points for Lighting
20 points for Game play
20 points for Triggers.

Remember that lighting is split in two, you will receive a maximum of 10 points for your Global lighting and a maximum of 10 points for your use of invisible light posts, this is also important for the judges to remember, I don't want a mistake like last time happening again.

Prizes:

Prizes will consist of a custom rank and a Renegade Mouse Pad if Banshee approves.


Just like last time, This competition will NOT go under public voting for an additional score, your maps will be judged and rated by the judges ONLY!
There shall be no biased results and every map will be evaluated evenly.

SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO ARO (ME) VIA. PM (Personal Message)!! NOT VIA EMAIL OR I.M CLIENT!

I was hoping for many more submissions considering how many people said they would enter, but 5 is still a pretty good turnout I suppose.

He says its open until midnight so keep mapping.

I received a total of 6 submissions in the end, it's not as many as I was expecting but it's still a good turnout, not to mention (most of) the entries are fantastic.
