For all of you new & old designers out there.
I'm pleased to announce the first WHQ- CMBB Map & Tournament Contest!! :D
Map Contest runs through-????
(To give me time to set up the tourney for winter '04)
That's right along with everything else I have going on it's time to get more players involved, this time making maps for a future BB Tournament based on your maps. (Note- an AK map contest may be included at a later date)
The rules are simple:
Make a map(s), send it in to me (permission to use it at WHQ is granted upon receipt with acknowledgement) and if voted as the best "tournament quality map" in its category by a selected panel of CM gamers it will be used in a WHQ-CMBB tournament-(to the best of my ability! :halo: )
Map catagories are:
Tiny- 800m x 800m (standard window).
Small- over 800m but under 1200m x 1200m.
Medium- over 1200m but under 1500m x 1500m.
Large- over 1500m but under 2000m x 2000m.
Huge- over 2000m X 2000m.
Note your map "size" can vary some, give or take a few 100 meters.
(btw- 5 map catagories = a five round tourney!)
There is no set time as of now for when the winning map(s) will be used but basically when I get the next open BB tournament going in late '04. (Map designers will be allowed to play in the tournament)
The winning map designer(s) will have his name proudly highlighted as said designer for all to see! (Plus the outside possibility of other "things.")
All entered maps not selected for the tournament but noted as "worthy" will be posted at the WHQ-CM download page for the enjoyment of your fellow players.
Have fun & put some thought into these gentlemen, no automated QB designed maps please, as well as the VF locations. (The VF locations may be modified for the tournament scenario setting).
If you want to send along a description of the setting please do so, they can be historical locations or not.
Just make sure your name is in the save file, ex. "palantirlargemap1.cme"
Later... :cheeky:
EDIT- 8/2/05
The map "contest" will be the "Map Tournament" once the current 2 tournaments get closer to wrapping up. Designers are still encouraged to submit CMBB designs for this tournament.
The deadline for submitting maps will run until just before the tournament begins. If it wasn't a "minor" pain to coordinate the players and KEEPING the players in tournaments I'd run this sooner rather than later...
