Team Play map comp

[F0R]

hi guys i'm making a team play map competion

Each team will have 2 people on it and will have to perform for the judges they will perform for their map to attract the judges eye. By amazing game play and graphics. The judges will give your map a mark out of 10. The highest scorer wins free fame.

The map can be of anything that you and your team mate have made.

It is a simple comp please sign here if you want to join or be a judge.

Please ask more questions. It is a two week comp starting from the 2nd of July sign up now.

You must have at least 5 maps with a total of 400 downloads to enter.

Please ask more questions.

More questions:
- What's the team element in this competition about?
- Do I understand correctly that you get 1 mark for the graphics and the offered gameplay together, or a mark for each of them? (And calculate the average afterwards?)
- Is there any playing involved, like playing your own map or those of others, or are only the judges playing and reviewing?
- What do you mean with "the team will have to perform for the judges" and "they will perform for their map"?
- Will there be a list with all elements that will be judged? I mean: gameplay is very general. Some people (read: judges ;)) may like a puzzle map and some may like a tough battle, while others may like a very delicate game. Same for graphics: is it just the "ooh ahh!" effect, or will there be subcategories like: use of terrain elevations, colors, backgrounds, themes, artwork, etc.

*has signed up in chat to be a judge*
Well, I'll probably weigh in all of the factors mentioned. Something easy enough to win on the first try, but challenging enough to satisfy me would be ideal. Use of multiple terrain levels is important. I doubt anyone here wants to play a map with no terrain. I'll probably have a nice, long review for each of them going over their strong and weak points.

EDIT: Oh, yes, and if I can pwn the map, it's going to get a low score. Test it well. If it looks good but isn't fun, you may want to rethink it.

And the other questions?

Plus an additional one: why use a judge system anyway and not let all players decide? One or two people might have very different preferences than the entire community.

Edit: one more: I thought there would be judges. It would be nice if the criteria used would be discussed between them instead of being determined already....

Ive seen some very good maps rated one *. If we have a bunch of people that know the game an d have played it for awile we can get much more fairer ratings

You don't have to use the rating system of the site. Anybody who has set a score could give 2 marks: 1 for appearance and 1 for gameplay.

Something easy enough to win on the first try

Sorry, lost my interest.
